George Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Cole Porter — the names bandied around for the title of Greatest American Songwriter are a familiar bunch. Less well-known are the handles of the Sherman Brothers. Yet their songs are just as memorable — maybe moreso. As "Toy Story" director John Lasseter says in the documentary "The Boys: The Sherman Brothers' Story," once you hear a...

Frank Sinatra - Live at the Meadowlands Eleven years after his death, you have to wonder if the Frank Sinatra estate is going to run out of new material to release at some point. Three of the four labels he recorded for have already done "complete recordings" box sets, and you can only put out so many themed "best of" compilations. There's always live albums, and with a performing...

Spending Sunday evening with Michael Feinstein and his 17 piece band was a great way to pass the time. When I last saw him five years ago, I wasn't so enthused by his performance. Since then he has released a number of new albums including most recently his Sinatra album with new interpretations to the music of Sinatra. This seems to have thankfully given him new music to explore, beyond being known...

“Love, Linda” is billed as a one-woman play. Really, though, it’s cabaret.

Not many people are aware that the song "Happy Birthday To You" is not in the public domain but actually owned by a music publishing company. That is why if you appear on TV to play an instrument, you are told not to play Happy Birthday, since the TV station doesn't want to pay a royalty on the song. The rights to the song is owned by a company called Warner/Chappell Music Inc. which owns...

The older I get, the more I admire the craft of the songsmiths who wrote what is called The Great American Song Book, the work of Cole Porter et. al. from the 30s and 40s. In body, maybe this represents "the great American novel," the narrative that most reflects the soul of America, at least at a certain time in our history.

The station started in 2005 and featured music from the likes of Cole Porter, Irving Berlin and Gershwin. Apparently the station will continue as an online Internet service...

By: Bernard Chazelle They're no songcrafting geniuses, their melodies are often banal, their harmonies simplistic, their lyrics silly or offensive, and they're passable instrumentalists. Naturally, the Stones are the greatest rock band ever. What gives? The thing is, in rock 'n' roll none of these things matter all that much. No rock tunesmith holds a candle to Gershwin or Cole Porter, anyway. Craftsmanship...

Subversion and sex: to hear the San Francisco jazz singer Paula West stamp her personality on songs by Bob Dylan and Cole Porter in the same program is like encountering someone with a multilingual gift. Ms. West is one of a few singers who can reconcile the raw sarcasm of early Dylan with Porters archness and not seem to strain in either direction. The common ground she finds between the two songwriters...

Filed under: Spinner Interview Rod Stewart has sold 250 million albums and counting, but his career hasn't always been so charmed. He once thought about becoming a history teacher if the music thing didn't work out. It worked out. And now, all these years later, Stewart is returning to the buried treasures of his youth and coming up with gold. For while he's always loved rock 'n' roll -- and, in fact,...

Well the honeymooners are off again this time back to Japan. After a nondescript flight we stood on terra firma once more at Osaka Kansia airport much to my delight As Cole Porter said in one of his songs ldquoFlying so high in some bird in the sky is my idea of nothing to dordquo Before leaving the airport we hired a mobile phone for the 16 days we'll be here at a cost of less than 1

Film The underrated recent adaptation of Noel Coward's Easy Virtue has one of the more enjoyably post-modern soundtracks I've heard in a few years. As well as Coward's songs, director Stephan Elliott and music supervisor Marius De Vries have mixed in some Cole Porter and period renditions of other popular tunes. Such as ... ... Sex Bomb and Car Wash. Isn't that wonderful? Incidentally, though this...

Buddy Rich on the band's classic "Love for Sale" chart. Not sure this is what Cole Porter had in mind-too bad! The only time I ever heard Buddy live they did this one...Buddy didn't talk to the audience at all, just yelled out chart numbers to the band like a quarterback calling audibles. The band was flawless nonetheless. Here we get Steve Marcus again, this time on tenor sax.
