Question

Cole Porter’s. I Got You Under My Skin. - Mel Torme.....this man had a velvet voice.

Marionville 10

Answer 1

My first encounter with this song was Neneh Cherry's cover in the 1990 compilation album, "Red Hot + Blue". It features contemporary artists covering Cole Porter compositions.

One of my favorite memories about the album is that it provided a rare bonding opportunity for me and my mom. (Yes, I chose to not use "my mother and I".)

She knew the songs--which were alien to me--whereas I knew many of the artists--of which probably none were familiar to her. She didn't love all the interpretations, particularly when too many artistic liberties were taken (Cherry's version--which I'm not exactly crazy about, either--is a good example), but she discovered and fell in love with the voices of Sinéad O'Connor (the main--if not the sole--reason I bought the album) and k.d. lang.

Here they are. I hope you enjoy them. No presh, ha ha.

Answer 2

Love Cole Porter, Mel Torme not so much..
