"True Love" is a popular song written by Cole Porter and was published in 1956. The song was introduced by Bing Crosby and Grace Kelly in the musical film High Society. The Crosby-Kelly version was also a popular recorded version of the song, peaking at #3.
Kelly's contribution on the record is relatively minor, duetting with Bing on only the final chorus. Nonetheless, the single is co-credited to her and became her only gold record and 21st gold record for Bing Crosby.
A version of the song by Jane Powell out at the same time as the Crosby-Kelly version was also popular. Other versions to achieve success include Richard Chamberlain's 1963 single, a 1976 version by George Harrison on his album Thirty Three & 1/3, a 1988 version by Shakin' Stevens, and a 1993 duet by Elton John and Kiki Dee. Patsy Cline also performed a version of this song.
