Cole Porter – Risque Master Of American Music (Part 2)

September 29, 2020 @ 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM

$5

Public Speaking Presentation On Cole PorterWe begin with a simple statement of absolute truth.  Cole Porter is one of the greatest songwriters in American history. Porter’s melodies were sublime. Equally unforgettable are his amazing  lyrics- they  were clever, witty, sophisticated, original and naughty. Surprisingly, although we tend to think of Cole Porter as simply the ultimate European oriented sophisticate – he was actually born in tiny Peru, Indiana!

The list of songs written by Porter includes some of the greatest entries in the great American Songbook!  Consider:

LET’S DO IT (LET’S FALL IN LOVE) (1928)

NIGHT AND DAY (1932)

ANYTHING GOES (1934)

DON’T FENCE ME IN (1934)Public Speaking Presentation On Cole Porter

I GET A KICK OUT OF YOU (1934)

BEGIN THE BEGUINE (1935)

I’VE GOT YOU UNDER MY SKIN (1936)

IT’S DE-LOVELY (1936)

Porter’s legacy was further assured by brilliant Broadway shows like “Kiss Me Kate” and “Can-Can.” But beneath the surface of this bon-vivant lay a tortured soul. Cole Porter lived in both psychic and physical pain much of his life. His life story, his personality and his unforgettable music combine for a memorable multimedia presentation!
