This is an great album chock full of wonderful songs composed by one of -- if not the -- wittiest and most gifted songwriters (words AND music by the way) of the twentieth century. And the songs are sung by one of the greatest popular singers around; Ms. Warwick certainly proves on this album that she has the musical chops to sing along with the best of them -- Frank and Ella included -- when it comes to Porter's work.

This is a fun little album consisting of ten versions of Ravel's greatest "hit" -- the fantastic "Bolero." This album covers the waterfront -- from synthesizer to Benny Goodman.

In fact you need to crank up the volume on two or three cuts, otherwise you won't even realize the song has begun. It would be interesting to apply this concept to any number of the great classical and popular pieces that one can't seem to get enough of -- how about Cole Porter's "Night and Day" for starters?

Haven't seen the movie yet, but this really is a "de-lovely" soundtrack album that can stand on its own merit. A great mix of professional and ... uh ... less than professional singers cover many Porter standards. A few standouts include Robbie Williams, Alanis and Sheryl Crowe -- all do a great job! And Diana Krall obviously was born to sing Porter! Given the current music scene, any Cole Porter song sung by anyone is a welcome change of pace.
