Al Campbell
All Music Guide

As part of Decca Broadway's Composers on Broadway series, 11 of Cole Porter's beloved classics are spotlighted. Excerpts from Dubarry Was a Lady, Anything Goes, Wake Up and Dream, Leave It to Me, Red, Hot and Blue, Kiss Me, Kate, and a bonus track from Something for the Boys round out the set. Top-notch performances by Ethel Merman, Bing Crosby, Mary Martin, Donald O'Connor, and Carol Burnett make this set of Cole Porter classics an excellent primer for the curious listener.
