@John...Yes, the Cole Porter repertory brought out the best in Horne. This is not to say the others didn't. Horne sang with her entire body and was not so much a singer as she was a stylist. If you care to, please listen to another stylist of that time doing Porter's "I've got you under my skin," by Josephine Baker. Horne didn't get the opportunity to show off her hoofing ability, which was quite impressive. I caught a glimpse of this as dance great/choreographer Carol Haney put Horne through some fancy steps. Those were great days.
One of the best 😍
Lena Horne gives this Cole Porter song the best style I've heard so far. She had the voice, the beauty, and OH, that smile! Great upload.

Lena Horne was perfection.She just lit up the screen
Lovely!
God I love how she ends this song!
I love the way she punctuates "If we thought a bit at the end of it."
Stunning
Love the way She does this song! Thanks to you Mr. Roger Edens!
She looks like Alicia Keys.
