How many of you know this song wasn’t originally from Grease, and in fact was the Oscar-winning title song for the 1955 film Love Is A Many-Splendored Thing?
A second win for the “Secret Love” team.
I think it’s safe to say that 1953’s Best Original Song, “Secret Love,” was the gayest song to win the Oscar by that point. Doris Day (gay icon) playing a butch character (Calamity Jane) singing a song about a love that had to be kept secret? FULL OF GAY, which is to say, full of win.
And speaking of full of win, it was a first win for both Sammy Fain and Paul Francis Webster, who would go on to write such classics as the theme song to Spider-Man.
