Anything Goes

I uploaded this song from the great Cole Porter before and actually, the same interpretation by the great Ella Fitzgerald. I have decided to do upload it again, like I do sometimes with songs, partly because I love Anything Goes and mainly because my wife and I are going to see the musical of the same name this month. I am not the biggest fan of musicals, but I want to see stage productions more often this year and I love the music of Cole Porter, so I think I will enjoy this one tremendously. I truly discovered Cole Porter back in 1993-1994, when my mother received a CD set of his work at Christmas. I knew some of his songs, but it is only then that I really got into it. Mum was and is still a big fan. I don't think I ever listened to that much jazz than this winter. It will be nice to rediscover Cole Porter and see his work on stage, which will be a completely new experience for me.

Ella Fitzgerald

Once again, a Google Doodle: it is Ella Fitzgerald's 96th birthday today. This time I will not upload the Doodle, however beautiful it is, I don't want Vraie Fiction to look like, well, a Google Doodle gallery. I am not that much into jazz, I know very little about it, but I love the voice of Ella Fitzgerald, especially when she sings Cole Porter, like she does in Anything Goes, the song I uploaded. Mum had received a pack of three CDs of Cole Porter songs one Christmas (1993), which I listened to a lot at the time. Because of the fond memories, I have uploaded it here.
