Cole Porter musical videos. I adore them. I loved when I found out that Bob Fosse was in the cast of KMK! I am a big ole sucker for Cole Porter.

after I watch it and I watch it every time I see it is on. The worst of it all is Be A Clown, not anywhere near one I would like to hear again but when I do it gets stuck. I thought the cast did a great job with that movie and it had John Barrowman, be still my heart and ears, in it!
