It Had to Be You: The Great American Songbook

It Had to Be You: The Great American Songbook (2002) more music like this

by Rod Stewart

It's the kind of concept that seems brilliant on paper: revive the career of one of the great vocalists of the rock era by having him sing the great American pop songs of the pre-rock era. It was done before with Linda Ronstadt, and it worked well, so why not Rod Stewart, whose career was in shambles in 2002 following the disastrous modern R&B ...

My Favorite Things

My Favorite Things (1960) more music like this

by John Coltrane

Although seemingly impossible to comprehend, this landmark jazz recording was made in less than three days. All the more remarkable is that the same sessions which yielded My Favorite Things would also inform a majority of the albums Coltrane Plays the Blues, Coltrane's Sound, and Coltrane Legacy. It is easy to understand the appeal that these ...

Red Hot + Blue: A Tribute to Cole Porter

Red Hot + Blue: A Tribute to Cole Porter (1991) more music like this

by Various Artists

A fitfully entertaining collection of contemporary pop stars interpreting classic Cole Porter songs, Red Hot + Blue highlights include U2, Sinead O'Connor, Kirsty MacColl & the Pogues, Neneh Cherry, and David Byrne, but the best part of the disc is the wonderfully campy duet between Deborah Harry and Iggy Pop on "Well Did You Evah." All Music ...

Dream Dancing: Songs of Cole Porter

Dream Dancing: Songs of Cole Porter (2001) more music like this

by Beegie Adair

This straight-ahead Cole Porter tribute was one of the first three releases from Hillsboro, a Nashville-based label that got off the ground in early 2001. (The other two were Antoine Silverman's Blue Moods and Jack Jezzro's Jazz Elegance.) Pianist Beegie Adair certainly knows her way around these songs, and she's aided expertly by bassist Roger ...

The Very Best of Cole Porter [Hip-O]

The Very Best of Cole Porter [Hip-O] (2004) more music like this

by Cole Porter

Contrasts, whether ironic or not, were continually at the heart of Cole Porter's timeless songs, as befits a man who greeted the world as the very definition of a sophisticated New Yorker, but was actually born in Peru, IN. Porter's careful studies of people in love are filled with obsessive characters who express hope but are frightfully ...

Men and Women

Men and Women (1987) more music like this

by Simply Red

After a monster debut, Simply Red's follow-up album...featured an uneven batch of songs and lacked the kind of standout single Hucknall had enjoyed on the previous album with "Holding Back the Years." It wasn't a half-hearted effort by any means; Mick Hucknall's crackling vocals were just as exuberant, and the band's Stax/Volt-influenced lines ...

De-Lovely

De-Lovely (2004) more music like this

by Original Soundtrack

The soundtrack to De-Lovely -- a film that imagines the unusual love story and marriage of classic American songwriter Cole Porter (who was gay) and Linda Lee Porter as the kind of all-singing, all-dancing production for which Porter himself might have written the songs -- is a whirl of contrasting, and occasionally clashing, performances that ...

by Steve Tyrell

Steve Tyrell has had a long journeyman's career in the music business, serving as record company executive, songwriter, and producer. But no one could have predicted the twist his career took in the late '90s. After he sang standards on the soundtracks of the films Father of the Bride (1991) and Father of the Bride 2 (1995), he was signed up by ...

Diane: Chet Baker and Paul Bley (1985) more music like this

by Chet Baker with Paul Bley

Chet Baker recorded at every opportunity during the last decade or so of his tragic life, with widely varying results due to his drug addiction. But this surprising duo session with pianist Paul Bley is one of his better efforts from this period, focusing primarily on standard ballads by top composers. Bley's playing in the mid-1980s usually was ...

Duet (1955) more music like this

by June Christy

In the midst of her successful run of '50s solo discs, singer June Christy teamed up with ex-boss Stan Kenton for this fine collection of duet sides. Kenton exercises unexpected restraint throughout, shading Christy's dramatically cool delivery with snatches of Ellington color and chamber music formality. For her part, Christy doesn't miss a step ...

Film Noir (1997) more music like this

by Carly Simon

For Carly Simon, Film Noir is a way to explore traditional pop classics. Using smoky saloon songs like "Ev'rytime We Say Goodbye" as a blueprint, Simon and producer Jimmy Webb create a seductive, intimate atmosphere. Simon's vocals aren't naturally suited to this material, but she acquits herself well, and the two duets -- one with Webb and one ...

The Very Thought of You: Decca Recordings 1951-57 (1999) more music like this

by Jeri Southern

Whether Jeri Southern was a jazz singer or simply a jazz-influenced pop singer has been debated. To be sure, many of her '50s recordings were heavily arranged and devoid of improvisation -- and if you believe that improvisation is a key element of jazz, you have to believe that much of her output was essentially pop. But however you categorize her ...

Filled with familiar numbers, this collection is a better showing for Michael Crawford than Songs from the Stage and Screen. The LSO is balanced out better, the performances seem far less rushed, and Crawford is in far better shape vocally.

With their vast back catalog of classic vocal sides, the Verve label has been releasing a seemingly endless line of songbook collections featuring a who's who of jazz greats. Irving Berlin, Gershwin, Ellington, and Rodgers & Hart have all been feted. Now it's Cole Porter's turn. Over the course of the 17 chestnuts heard here, the likes of Fred ...
