Early versionsThe song's chorus, like many in the Great American Songbook, is written in the A-A-B-A format. However, instead of 32 bars, it has 64, plus an 8-bar tag. The tag is often dropped when the song is performed. The tune, using what is practically a trademark for Porter, shifts between a major and minor feeling.{{citation needed|date=November 2018}} BackgroundWhen the song came out in 1930, a newspaper called it bad taste.[2] Radio stations avoided it.[3] Porter moved the scene to the Cotton Club in Harlem and the song was sung by biracial singer Elisabeth Welch instead of white singer Kathryn Crawford.[4] Despite this, popular recordings in 1931 were made by Libby Holman and by Fred Waring's Pennsylvanians.[5] In 1952, Billie Holiday recorded a version of the song.[3] She had been a prostitute for a while and gave the song some credibility.[3] Other than Holiday, vocalists did not want to take on the risque song at one time, leaving instrumental versions to Sidney Bechet, Erroll Garner, Charlie Parker, and Art Tatum.[3] The taboo had waned by the 1960s.[3] Elvis Costello released a version of Love For Sale, including the opening verse (prologue), on a Rhino re-lease of his album, "Trust".
