Cole Porter was born this date in 1891.
Having grown up in a house that loved Sinatra, some of the first songs I knew were penned by Porter.
In 1990, the Red Hot AIDS Benefit Series released their tribute to Cole Porter. Here are some highlights ...
David Byrne, "Don't Fence Me In"
Tom Waits. "It's Alright With Me"
U2, "Night & Day"
It's hard to beat Cole Porter.
Harry Connick, "Johnny Quest" ... I mean, "It's Alright With Me"
Sinatra & Crosby, "Well, Did You Evah?"
