| | Album Notes and Credits | Notes & Personnel Info |  | Personnel include: Cole Porter (vocals); Dinah Shore, Frank Sinatra, Fred Astaire, Al Bowlly, Lena Horne, Phil Saxe, Rosemary Clooney (vocals); Jim Hall (guitar); Paul Desmond (alto saxophone). |  | Recording information: 1928 - 2004. |  | Cole Porter holds a place in history as one of America's most legendary songsmiths. Indeed, he eclipses most of his contemporaries, save Irving Berlin and George Gershwin. A composer of matchless wit and charm, Porter penned countless tunes that blossomed into chart-toppers and mainstream jazz standards. |  | IT'S DE LOVELY represents the wide range of interpretations that have been applied to the composer's work over the years. The disc includes the now-famous performance of "Night and Day" by a young Frank Sinatra, a cowboy version of "Don't Fence Me In" by Roy Rogers, and jazz versions of "You Do Something to Me" and "I've Got You Under My Skin" by saxophonists Sonny Rollins and Paul Desmond, respectively. The opening tracks, which feature Porter himself on vocals, are the high points of this album. These selections are unique for two reasons. First, Porter rarely performed his own music, and second, the big-band arrangements that accompany him were recorded in 2004, seven decades after Porter laid down his vocal tracks. Listeners can hear what it might have sounded like had Porter taken his performing career as seriously as his passion for songwriting. | Producer: Will Friedwald (Compilation) | Engineer: Troy Halderson | Musical Guests |  | Frank Sinatra |  | Lena Horne |  | Dinah Shore |  | Sonny Rollins |  | Paul Desmond |  | Coleman Hawkins |  | Rosemary Clooney |  | Roy Rogers |
| | Artist Overview | | Responsible for such classics as "I've Got You Under My Skin," "Let's Do It, Let's Fall in Love," and "Anything Goes," Cole Porter is synonymous with both the American songbook and Broadway musical tradition.
