I Get a Kick Out of ColeThe Hong Kong Singers

In his life and in his music, Cole Porter was the top – the pinnacle of wit and sophistication. Tracing his extraordinary journey from Parisian socialite in the 1920s to Broadway and Hollywood legend by his death in 1964, I Get a Kick Out of Cole combines a glittering arrangemeent of songs such as “Night and Day”, “Love for Sale”, Just One of Those Things” and “Anything Goes” with a touching protrayal of his platonic marraige and discreet affairs with men.  The catchy melodies and clever lyrics of Cole Porter’s songs made them isntant hits in their day but it is their emotional depth, made possible by his own personal struggles, that have made them continue to delight us today.
