Vaughn Monroe And His Orchestra's album "Dance With Me: The Music Of Cole Porter" is a delightful and toe-tapping tribute to one of the greatest composers of the 20th century. The album features 12 classic songs from Porter's extensive catalog, including "Anything Goes," "I Get a Kick Out of You," and "Night and Day."
Monroe and his orchestra bring their signature big band sound to the arrangements, with lush horn sections and swinging rhythms that perfectly capture the spirit of Porter's music. Monroe's smooth vocals are the perfect complement to the music, and his phrasing and timing are impeccable throughout.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Begin the Beguine," which features an extended instrumental section that showcases the orchestra's virtuosity. The album also includes a number of ballads, such as "I've Got You Under My Skin" and "Easy to Love," which Monroe delivers with a tender and heartfelt touch.
