This is the latest in the series of looking at jazz songs in detail. So far I’ve discussed Crazy Rhythm and No Moon At All, both light-hearted songs of music and love, but Love For Sale is quite different as it deals with a controversial subject which is currently newsworthy. Jeremy Corbyn has been talking about legalising prostitution recently and the issue nowadays is tied up with our perceptions of child abuse and people trafficking. I believe that Cole Porter made an important contribution to the debate with this song.

Love For Sale: A Superb Song
