Hmmm. Cole Porter
(Google, google, google)
Cole Albert Porter (June 9, 1891 – October 15, 1964) was an American composer and songwriter from Peru, Indiana. His works include the musical comedies Kiss Me, Kate (1948) (based on Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew), Fifty Million Frenchmen, and Anything Goes, as well as songs like "Night and Day", "I Get a Kick out of You", and "I've Got You Under My Skin". He was noted for his sophisticated (sometimes ribald) lyrics, clever rhymes, and complex forms. He was one of the greatest contributors to the Great American Songbook. Cole Porter is one of the few Tin Pan Alley composers to have written both lyrics and music for his songs.
- I hate Shakespeare, why couldn't we read "THE HOCKEY NEWS" in English class instead?
- he's the same age as two or three of my favourite authors!!!! (Ralph Moody, H. Gordon Green, Harry Boyle and the indefatigable GREGORY CLARK!)
- I might just have to try some Cole Porter in the collection!
Red is wretching in the corner!
