Her interpretation of Cole Porter has a universal appeal because of her down to earth style. At this period in her life her voice was more mellow than in her earlier days and, in my opinion, more appealing. She was at her peak and the composer was unsurpassed in his skills despite such stiff competition as George Gershwin, Irving Berlin and others.

I have just about every songbook recording of Ella's. She is the best! All are great, but particularly excellent are Harold Arlen and Rodgers & Hart. However, this Cole Porter recording blows them all out of the water. Perfect orchestrations, a wonderful selection of songs and, despite what some "haters" have said about Ella, real feeling on all these tracks. Some songs are just fun, some sad & touching, but my favorites are the wryly humorous songs...this is a purchase you will never regret...I never get tired of listening to it since I heard it for the first time 8 years ago!
I am thankful to have found this wonderfully recorded CD with two of my favorites on it - Ella Fitzgerald and Cole Porter. Ella truly does justice to Cole Porter's music!
