Ella Fitzgerald shines as the perfect interpreter of Cole Porter's bittersweet love songs on these 35 tracks from the Verve archives. Recorded and released on LP in 1956, Ella is ... see all copies from $6.93! new only from $26.65!
2	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 ... see all copies from $6.95! new only from $10.75!
3	It's De Lovely: The Authentic Cole Porter Collection (2004) more music like this by Cole Porter Whenever great American song in general, or a classic songwriter specifically, goes through another phase of popularity, record labels invariably cast around to assemble yet another round of songbook compilations with artists from their catalog interpreting the standards. In 2004, on the occasion of the Cole Porter biopic De-Lovely (starring Kevin ... see all copies from $7.19! new only from $12.22!
4	Night and Day: The Cole Porter Songbook (1952) more music like this by Various Artists 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 ... see all copies from $2.49! new only from $9.92!
5	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 ... see all copies from $6.77! new only from $9.41!

7	Close Your Eyes (1997) more music like this by Stacey Kent Stacey Kent has a very appealing voice, and her delivery is full of joy, enthusiasm, and subtle creativity. Sticking mostly to veteran standards on this CD (only "Sleep Warm" was written after the 1950s), Kent sounds delightful while joined by a fine mainstream quintet. Jim Tomlinson contributes some tenor solos reminiscent in tone of Stan Getz, ... see all copies from $14.50! new only from $14.50!
8	The Great Sound of Les Elgart/It's De-Lovely (2000) more music like this by Les Elgart The combination of these Les Elgart albums, The Great Sound of Les Elgart and It's De-Lovely, provide pleasant interpretations of pop standards. The familiar melodies of "These Foolish Things," "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World," and "It's De-Lovely" hold up exceptionally well. These LPs were originally released on Columbia Records in 1959 and ... see all copies from $7.86! new only from $9.82!
9	Anything Goes [1987 Broadway Revival Cast] (1988) by 1987 Broadway Revival Cast Cole Porter's 1934 Broadway musical Anything Goes was one of his more celebrated efforts, throwing off such standards as "I Get a Kick Out of You" and "You're the Top" in addition to the title tune, and it was adapted for film twice, in 1936 and 1956. Strangely, it did not attract a notable stage revival until 1962, when a version ran Off-Broadway ... see all copies from $6.49! new only from $12.22!

13 view cover	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 ... see all copies from $13.42! new only from $13.42!

15 view cover	Anything Goes [1962 Off-Broadway Revival Cast] (1962) more music like this by 1962 Off-Broadway Revival Cast Cole Porter's 1934 musical was initially supposed to revolve around an impending shipwreck -- that is, until an actual shipwreck occurred just before the show went into rehearsals.

Roberts avoids the predictable path in honoring Nat King Cole, covering songs both from ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
24 view cover	Breathless (1960) more music like this by Sue Raney Sue Raney has always had a very attractive voice, a wide range with total control, and the ability to swing in a very appealing fashion. She has recorded relatively few jazz albums through the years, making this previously unreleased collection a bit of a gap-filler. Mostly taken from live radio performances, Raney is heard during 1960-1961 with ... see all copies from $14.56! new only from $14.56!
