Fascinatin' Rhythm

Crazy Bout Cole (Porter) — cel­e­brat­ing arguably the finest pop­u­lar Amer­i­can com­pos­er of the 20th cen­tu­ry, give or take Irv­ing Berlin. Cole Albert Porter was born in the same city as anoth­er great Amer­i­can com­pos­er, Hoagland Carmichael, in Peru, Indi­ana on June 9, 1891. Thus, he would be 128 today if the gods would have been some­what more com­pas­sion­ate.. Before he passed of kid­ney fail­ure Octo­ber 15, 1964, he left the world with an incred­i­ble lega­cy both as a lyri­cist and com­pos­er. Only Berlin, and Frank Loess­er to a much less­er degree, could boast of such a tal­ent in those days of Renais­sance writing.British com­pos­er Howard Goodall once stat­ed that Porter was one of the four most impor­tant com­posers of the last cen­tu­ry, along with Leonard Bern­stein, Bernard Her­rmann, and the Lennon-McCart­ney part­ner­ship. Some of the clas­sic songs he left us with include Night And Day, I Got You Under My Skin, Every Time We Say Good­bye, Love For Sale, What Is This Thing Called Love, Easy To Love So In Love, Long Last Love, and I Get A Kick Out Of You to name just a very few. Cole once said it seems stran­age to me that changes in my lyrics are often made, and even changes to the music, with­out any­one even ask­ing my per­mis­sion. In 1946 he received $300, 000.00 for writ­ing Night and Day’.
