I'll Never Stop Loving You

Nicholas Brodszky & Sammy Cahn • 1955

Written for the 1955 biographical film Love Me or Leave Me, starring Doris Day as singer Ruth Etting, this ballad earned Cahn and Brodszky an Academy Award nomination. Day’s performance in the film was one of the best of her career, and her recording of the song perfectly captures its quiet, unshakeable devotion.

A gentler counterpart to the film’s more dramatic material, it shows Cahn’s ability to write sincerity without sentimentality.
