"True Love" is a popular song. It was 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.
