Thirty Three & 1/3 track listing

"True Love" is a popular song 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. "True Love" was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Song. The Crosby–Kelly version, accompanied by Johnny Green's MGM studio orchestra using a romantic arrangement by Conrad Salinger, was a hit single, peaking at number 4 in the United States and No. 4 in the UK.

Kelly's contribution on the record is relatively minor, duetting with Crosby on only the final chorus. Nonetheless, the single is co-credited to her and became her only gold record. It was Crosby's 21st gold record.

"True Love" is the name of a yacht on which two of the characters honeymoon in the play The Philadelphia Story, on which the musical is based. Bing Crosby later owned a 55-foot Constellation yacht which he named the "True Love".

A version of the song by Jane Powell out at the same time as the Crosby–Kelly version was also popular.

Richard Chamberlain released a cover of the song as a single in 1963; it peaked at number 30.

A version by Nancy Sinatra was released as a single in 1965.

A version by George Harrison done in a blues rock style, from his 1976 album Thirty Three & 1/3, was released as the album's third single in 1977.

A version by Shakin' Stevens, from his 1988 album A Whole Lotta Shaky, reached #23 in the UK.
