Another way to say 'I love you.'(US songs of 1930s and 1940s)
Article Abstract:
Ira Gershwin, Cole Porter and other songwriters of the 1930s and 1940s could be considered poets. They wrote at a time of economic difficulties and focused on love songs, using English with respect, with many writers coming from immigrant families. Some of the lyrics had to be changed for mass consumption, and censorship was sometimes imposed. Fashions changed with the advent of war, and sophistication was less sought after in songs. Lyrics suffered in terms of their artistic content.
