As part of Decca Broadway's
Composers on Broadway series, 11 of
Cole Porter's beloved classics are spotlighted. Excerpts from Dubarry Was a Lady, Anything Goes, Wake Up and Dream, Leave It to Me, Red, Hot and Blue, Kiss Me, Kate, and a bonus track from Something for the Boys round out the set. Top-notch performances by
Ethel Merman,
Bing Crosby,
Mary Martin, Donald O'Connor, and
Carol Burnett make this set of
Cole Porter classics an excellent primer for the curious listener. ~ Al Campbell
