This entry in the series of Frank Sinatra's interpretations of great American songwriters covers some of the songs of one of the 20th century's sharpest observers, Cole Porter. Sinatra's relaxed, nuanced interpretations of songs like "You Do Something to Me," "Begin the Beguine," and "Cherry Pies Ought to Be You," the latter performed here with Rosemary Clooney, bring out the sharp wit in Porter's lyrics, and the orchestrations lift Porter's songs out of their mannered milieu and into the realms of the swinging, worldly-wise hipster.
