Happy Birthday, Cole Porter!

The Naked American Songbook | Jun 9, 2016

What a swell party this is! You may have caught on that Julian Fleisher holds Cole Porter in the highest of esteems. That's why June 9th, Porter's birthday, is kind of a national holiday for him. So to honor the songwriting legend's 125th Birthday, we at Naked American Songbook Headquarters assembled a Cole Porter Birthday special!

Listen as Julian explores his deity with SNL stars Rachel Dratch (TNAS Season 1) and Ana Gasteyer (coming up in TNAS Season 2), sharing the Dolly version of "I Got You Under My Skin" that really gets under the epidermis. Plus, a special Cole Porter birthday edition of our occasional segment Nailed It.

We want to hear from you! Leave a review of The Naked American Songbook on iTunes, follow us on Twitter, like us on Facebook, and share your favorite Cole Porter tunes!
