If I wanted to get great renditions of Cole Porter songs all in one place, or over a few CDs, what would you recommend?

RS - Glad you liked the Ella. if you're gonna get more of the Songbooks start with either the Gershwin or the Rodgers & Hart. The Gershwin is amazing but is HUGE so might be a little overwhelming, when I first got it took me forever to get through the whole thing. however, if you want to lose yourself in it, would perhaps be ideal.

i'm in london right now, amateurist, drowning in music with no time for good movies (sob). lots of crazy work and travel means that i mainly lurk these days, but hopefully i'll be more present when i return to nyc in a few days...

ha, well I appreciate the effort, and it is the same song, though it apparently has nothing to do with Cole Porter.

I finally dug out Red Hot and Blue album and normally I am pretty jaded but I quite like it, Annie Lennox in particular but I am still working my way through it.

Any other suggestions of post-1980 versions would be welcome.

The full film is here. It’s remarkable how little seen this was. Also a fascinating time capsule IMO
