Timeless works like 'I Get a Kick Out of You' and 'At Long Last Love' made him an essential figure in the soundtrack of a century and earned him adoration from generations of music lovers. In A Cole Porter Companion, a parade of performers and scholars offers essays on little-known aspects of the master tunesmith's life and art. Here are Porter's days as a Yale wunderkind and his nights as the exemplar of louche living; the triumph of Kiss Me Kate and shocking failure of You Never Know; and his spinning rhythmic genius and a turkey dinner into 'You're the Top' while cultural and economic forces take 'Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye' in unforeseen directions.
