More Information
Details: Tributee: Cole Porter. Liner Note Author: Will Friedwald. Recording information: 1952 - 2003. Undoubtedly released to coincide with the soundtrack to the 2004 Cole Porter biopic DE-LOVELY, this songbook collection features some of the mid-20th century's finest song stylists sinking their teeth into the urbane composer's meaty catalog. In contrast, the DE-LOVELY soundtrack offers contemporary popsters tackling Porter's material-- whether you want to hear "True Love" sung by Ashley Judd or Dean Martin is between you and your clergyman (or therapist). Regardless, it's impossible to argue with Louis Armstrong's deliciously lascivious take on "Let's Do It," Helen Merrill's breathy, sultry interpretation of "Anything Goes," or Eartha Kitt's downright decadent delivery of "Let's Misbehave." More prurient topics aside, to hear Fred Astaire's elegant, perfectly phrased version of "Night and Day" is to instantly comprehend the marriage of sophistication and pure emotion at the heart of Porter's finest work.
