Great Depression Journalism & Broadcasting Theater Travel & Culture - France
  • Robert Kimball

    Discussing Cole Porter's work and the book "Cole" and interviewing its author Robert Kimball

    1970

    Cole Porter biographer Robert Kimball talks with Studs about his book "Cole" and his subject's life and work as they listen to classic performances of some of his most beloved songs. They marvel at how Porter perfectly captured the zeitgeist of the times in his lyrics, his lyrical influences, his unique method of outside-in composing lyrics and music simultaneously, Bobby Short's masterful interpretations, controversies over some of his works, and how well his material holds up.
