Various Artists – All Right With Me – 30 Years of Cole Porter Magic with the Girls
£8.99 inc. VAT
This compilation spans three decades of Cole Porters prolific career, and kicks off with one of the few contemporary vocal recordings of “Love for Sale”, Libby Holman’s being the only other one that springs to mind. The songbirds selected for inclusion were all top-flight vocalists (Frances Langford, Ginny Simms, Dinah Shore, Ella Fitzgerald, and Anna Maria Alberghetti all feature more than once) and the accompaniments were also some of the best around
Spanning three decades of Cole Porter’s prolific career, this anthology brings together a remarkable lineup of top‑flight female vocalists — each offering her own interpretation of Porter’s unmistakable blend of charm, sophistication and emotional nuance. The set opens with one of the few contemporary vocal recordings of Love for Sale, performed by The Waring Girls, setting the tone for a programme steeped in both rarity and star power.
Frances Langford contributes expressive readings of Swingin’ the Jinx Away and Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye, while Ginny Simms lends her warm, polished tone to What Is This Thing Called Love and Easy to Love. Dinah Shore appears multiple times, including I’ve Got You Under My Skin, Nobody’s Chasing Me and Hey, Babe, Hey, each delivered with her trademark clarity and poise. The collection also features standout performances from Lena Horne (At Long Last Love, It’s All Right With Me), Doretta Morrow (You Do Something to Me, I Love You), Jane Powell (Mind If I Make Love to You, True Love) and Anna Maria Alberghetti (I Concentrate on You, How’s Your Romance).
Ella Fitzgerald’s contributions — In the Still of the Night and Begin the Beguine — bring her unmistakable elegance to the set, while Julie Andrews’ So in Love adds a youthful, crystalline contrast. The programme closes with Carole Carr’s I Am Loved, rounding out a collection that celebrates both Porter’s enduring genius and the artistry of the women who interpreted his work with such style.
A thoughtfully assembled tribute, All Right With Me offers a sweeping, glamorous portrait of Cole Porter’s legacy through the voices that defined an era.
