In his life and in his music, Cole Porter was “the top”–the
pinnacle of wit, sophistication, and success. His songs–“I Get a
Kick Out of You,” “Anything Goes,” and hundreds more–were instant
pop hits, and their musical and emotional depths have made them
lasting standards.
William McBrien
has captured the creator of these songs, whose life was not merely
one of wealth and privilege. A prodigal young man, Porter found his
emotional anchor in a long, loving, if sexless marriage, a
relationship he repeatedly risked with a string of affairs with
men. His last eighteen years were marked by physical agony but also
unstinting artistic achievement, including the great Hollywood
musicals High Society, Silk Stockings, and Kiss Me Kate (recently
and very successfully revived on Broadway). Here, at last is a life
that informs the great music and lyrics through illuminating
glimpses of the hidden, complicated, private man.
