Originally released in 1956 as Verve's first album, Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Cole Porter Song Book launched both Ella Fitzgerald's acclaimed Song Book series and the label's enduring legacy. Produced by Norman Granz and arranged by Buddy Bregman, the 32-song collection showcases Porter classics including "All Through the Night," "Let's Do It, Let's Fall in Love" and "What Is This Thing Called Love?" with lush orchestral backing.
A landmark in American popular music, the album highlights Fitzgerald's impeccable phrasing and timeless interpretations, setting the standard for the Great American Songbook. This Verve Acoustic Sounds edition is mastered from the original analogue tapes and pressed on 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
