Cole Porter (1891 - 1964) Unlike many, as a Broadway composer Porter wrote not only lyrics but music too. Unfortunately in 1937 Porter suffered a severe horseback riding incident, however he continued to work. In 1948 Cole Porter made a comeback with his most well known musical Kiss me, Kate, which won the first Tony Award for best musical. Porter’s other works include Fifty Million Frenchmen, Dubarry was a Lady, and Can-Can. Porter has many hit songs including “Night and Day”, “Well, Did ya Evah!”, and “My Heart Belongs to Daddy”.
