THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK
COLE PORTER
WAKE UP AND DREAMThanks to the success of Paris, Cole was accepted into the upper echelon of Broadway songwriters. His producer planned a London West End extravaganza similar to Ziegfeld with a Cole Porter score and a large international cast. The revue, Wake Up and Dream, ran for a year in London, after which it came to New York. On Broadway, the Crash of 29 hurt attendance, and the show ran for only a few months. But from Coles point of view, it was a major success because one song became immortal.
THE KING COLE TRIO: WHAT IS THIS THING CALLED LOVE? This 1944 recording offers exceptional piano work from Nat Cole. He was one of the greatest jazz pianists in the game even before he started singing. Man, could he tickle the ivories!

FRANK SINATRA: WHAT IS THIS THING CALLED LOVE? This 1955 recording from the Capitol era has the Chairman of the Board working with Nelson Riddle. No sweetness here; this is a song of loss sung slowly and darkly.

THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK
COLE PORTER
FIFTY MILLION FRENCHMENColes new fame brought him offers from Hollywood, but his score for Paramounts The Battle of Paris was a dud. Still on a Gallic theme, his last Broadway show of the 1920s was Fifty Million Frenchmen. The show received poor notices; in fact, one critic wrote, The lyrics alone are enough to drive anyone but P. G. Wodehouse into retirement. Because it was a lavish and expensive production, nothing less than full houses would suffice, and after only three weeks the producers announced that they would close it.
Enter Irving Berlin. As an admirer and champion of Cole Porter, he took out a paid ad calling the show, The best musical comedy Ive heard in years. One of the best collections of song numbers I have ever listened to. The producers relented, and the show went on for another year. Monty Wooley, who later became a star with The Man Who Came to Dinner directed.
MARLENE DIETRICH: YOU DO SOMETHING TO METhe contralto voice of Weimar decadence provides an interesting take on this number. The Germans were having a good time in 1929 as their strict morality loosened. What could possibly go wrong?
Marlene Dietrich: You Do Something to Me
