I Write The Songs 69 Cole Porter

Posted by Tiki Black on 4 Jun 2015 in I Write The Songs | 135 Views | Leave a response

ColeporterSongwriter of the week: Cole Porter
American songwriter Cole Albert Porter composed songs AND wrote lyrics (against then current fashion) that dominated the musical theatres in particular Broadway during the 1920s and 1930s. His strong will is an example of taking on the world in spite of its obstacles, starting with him defying the wishes of his powerful and domineering grandfather by taking up his passion, music and entertainment, as a profession. He then went on with his passion, in spite of a slow start and even after a serious horseback riding accident left him disabled and in constant pain. His ability to make the best of the time and environments he lives in goes all the way to his marriage to great friend Linda Lee Thomas in spite of them both knowing of his homosexuality. This show is about a songwriter no doubt, but a man / human, who, despite adversity, never ceased to express his true self and making the best of it.
