Great renditions of classic Cole Porter songs by contemporary artists of the time, with their own musical styles. It was a benefit for AIDS research back in the day and includes Annie Lennox, Elvis Costello, Sinead O'Connor, Lisa Stansfield, Blondie, Tom Waits to name a few. I had this on cassette and recently found a player and when I heard it again I had to search it out, brought back great memories. It's wonderful to have it again to play whenever I want. It's really great.

This CD is utterly worthless except for one fantastic song by U2 that is out-of-print and never available elsewhere except here. Cole Porter was a genius but this CD now sounds dated and extremely pretentious and is largely an embarrassment to his legacy.

This is a great cd!!! A compilation of Cole Porter songs, done by a wide variety of artists, if you like even one of the artists on this cd, and your a music lover, you should own this cd...The contributers are-NENAH CHERRY,THE NEVILLE BROTHERS,SINEAD O'CONNOR,SALIF KEITA,THE FINE YOUNG CANNIBALS,DEBBIE HARRY&IGGY POP,KIRSTY MACCOLE&THEPOUGES,DAVID BYRNE,TOM WAITS, ANNIE LENNOX,U2,LES NEGRESSES VERTES,K.D.LANG,THE THOMPSON TWINS,ERASURE,THE JUNGLE BROTHERS,LISA STANSFIELD,JIMMY SOMERVILLE,JODY WATLEY,AZTEC CAMERA. In every way this is by far one of the BEST COMPILATIONS I have ever lisened to... from romantic to dance and everything inbetween and outside of that, YOU CAN'T GO WRONG!!!
Some of the songs don't work, but for me the ones that do, make this album worth it. Neneh Cherry does a great job as do The Fine Young Cannibals and The Thompson Twins (and I don't even like any of their regular songs!).

This is a really fantastic selection of tracks. I used to have it on cassette (timely for the era it was made) and now love having it on CD.

I had this CD back in college. Loaned to a "friend", never saw it again. Anyway, I love Cole Porter and knowing that a portion of the purchase of the CD went to the AIDS Foundation it was a no brainer. The music is incredible. It is performed by a variety of artists, which is a great bonus.
This CD really helped me to learn about the music of Cole Porter. Great renditions by great artists.
