Happy birthday, Cole Porter!
Voted "Most Entertaining Man" at Yale, he went on to law school at Harvard before leaving it all behind to pursue his true passion: music.
He lost use of his legs in a horseback riding accident in '37, but managed to produce his very best in the 40's and 50's.
I have a soft spot for this guy. And yes, I'm proudly a musical geek.
Some of Cole's songs include Let's Do It (Let's Fall in Love), Anything Goes, I Get a Kick Out of You, Every Time We Say Goodbye, You're The Top, and this little ditty which I adore:
Ella Fitzgerald - I've Got You Under My Skin
