Cole Porter
Cole Albert Porter (June 9, 1891 – October 15, 1964) was an American composer and songwriter.
Many of his songs became standards noted for their witty, urbane lyrics, and many of his scores found success on Broadway and in film.
Born to a wealthy family in Indiana, Porter defied his grandfather's wishes and took up music as a profession.
Classically trained, he was drawn to musical theatre.
After a slow start, he began to achieve success in the 1920s, and by the 1930s he was one of the major songwriters for the Broadway musical stage.
Unlike many successful Broadway composers, Porter wrote the lyrics as well as the music for his songs.
After a serious horseback riding accident in 1937, Porter was left disabled and in constant pain, but he continued to work.
His shows of the early 1940s did not contain the lasting hits of his best work of the 1920s and '30s, but in 1948 he made a triumphant comeback with his most successful musical, "Kiss Me, Kate".
It won the first Tony Award for Best Musical.
Porter's other musicals include "Fifty Million
FrenchmenDuBarry Was a LadyAnything GoesCan
-Can" and "Silk Stockings".
His numerous hit songs include "Night and DayBegin
the BeguineI Get a Kick Out of YouWell
, Did You Evah!I've Got You Under My SkinMy Heart Belongs to Daddy" and
"You're the Top".
He also composed scores for films from the 1930s to the 1950s, including "Born to Dance" (1936), which featured the song "
You'd Be So Easy to LoveRosalie" (1937), which featured "In the Still of the NightHigh Society" (1956), which included "True Love"; and "Les Girls" (1957).
That's Entertainment! (song)
" That's Entertainment!" is a popular song with music written by Arthur Schwartz and lyrics by Howard Dietz.
The song was published in 1952 and was written especially for the 1953 Metro- Goldwyn- Mayer musical film" The Band Wagon".
The song is performed in the film by Jack Buchanan supported by Fred Astaire, Nanette Fabray, and Oscar Levant.
In 2004, the song finished at# 45 in AFI's 100 Years ... 100
Songs survey of top tunes in American cinema.
Since the movie, the song has become the signature tune for Metro- Goldwyn- Mayer and an anthem for Hollywood and theater in general, being used as an opening number in many shows.
Alongside" Hooray for Hollywood, There's No Business Like Show Business" and" Another Op' nin', Another Show", it is considered one of the entertainment industry's best known tunes.
The song is perhaps most associated with Judy Garland, who recorded it for her 1960 LP" That's Entertainment!".
A year later, a live version appeared on Garland's Grammy- winning double album" Judy at Carnegie Hall".
The song has become nearly synonymous with Metro- Goldwyn- Mayer.
The studio used the tune for its 1955- 56 television series" MGM Parade" which featured clips from past and forthcoming MGM films.
The song title was later used for MGM'S popular retrospective film series featuring clips from its golden age, as" That's Entertainment!".
The original 1974 release spawned two sequels in which the song was retained.
In" That's Entertainment, Part II", some new lyrics were added to the song and performed by hosts Gene Kelly and Astaire.
The film credited those lyrics to Dietz and Saul Chaplin, one of the film's producers, though Chaplin was known as a composer, not a lyricist.
In 1979, the song was sung with parody lyrics by the villain Mordru in the television special" Legends of the Superheroes".
In the 1980s, the song was performed, again with new lyrics, by Larry Santos in a commercial for" TV Guide" magazine.
Petrus de Domarto
Petrus de Domarto( fl. c. 1445– 1455) was a Franco- Flemish composer of the Renaissance.
He was a contemporary and probable acquaintance of Ockeghem, and was the composer of at least one of the first unified mass cycles to be written in continental Europe.
Hooray for Hollywood
" Hooray for Hollywood" is a song first featured in the 1937 movie" Hollywood Hotel", and which has since become( together with" That's Entertainment" and" Another Op'nin', Another Show") the staple soundtrack element of any Academy Awards ceremony.
It is even frequently played during non-American movie ceremonies, e.g. the French César Awards.
The popularity of the song is notably due to the lyrics by Johnny Mercer, which reference the American movie industry and satirize the illusory desire of many people to become famous as actors.
Another Op'nin', Another Show
"Another Op'nin', Another Show" is the opening number of Cole Porter's 1948 musical "Kiss Me, Kate".
Sung by a band of players performing a musical adaption of Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew", the song has become regarded as a show business anthem on a level with "That's Entertainment!"
(from "The Band Wagon") and "There's No Business Like Show Business" (from "Annie Get Your Gun").
However, it was not included in the 1953 film version of the musical.
Adelaide Hall, playing the role of Hattie, sang "Another Op'nin', Another Show" on the West-End stage (400 times) when the London production of "Kiss Me, Kate" opened on 8 March 1951 at the Coliseum Theatre where it ran for 400 performances.
Patricia Morison (who starred in the original Broadway production of "Kiss Me Kate"), Marin Mazzie, and Hannah Waddingham have all performed versions of the song.
It was also the opening number of episode 514 of The Muppet Show
