About the author

Cole Albert Porter (June 9, 1891 – October 15, 1964) was an American composer and songwriter.

Many of his songs became standards noted for their witty, urbane lyrics, and many of his scores found success on Broadway and in Hollywood films.

His works include the musical comedies Kiss Me, Kate (1948) (based on Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew), Fifty Million Frenchmen, and Anything Goes, as well as songs like "Night and Day", "I Get a Kick out of You", and "I've Got You Under My Skin". He was noted for his sophisticated (sometimes ribald) lyrics, clever rhymes, and complex forms.

He was one of the greatest contributors to the Great American Songbook.

Reviews

[Juan Pablo García Estefan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Gran selección de canciones de Cole Porter, con arreglos para voz y piano de un nivel intermedio, con su respectivo cifrado de la armonía para acompañar con guitarra o bajo. Se echa en falta, quizás, la indicación de dedos para facilitar la interpretación del piano. Buena edición.
