American composer Cole Porter wrote words and music for over thirty stage and film musicals. His works were typically a model of sophistication, humor, and charm that would change popular musical theater. Deeper Roots takes a look at this songwriter whose music influenced generations of the American patchwork of styles including country, rock, pop, and R&B. We’ll hear from the torch vocals of Betty Carter, playful LA country from Michael Nesmith, the cool evening jazz of Julie London, rocking R&B from Roy Brown, and the contemporary country sounds of the Texoma All-Stars. And more, of course.
