lyrics for "Rosalie"
15 July 2004
Format:Paperback
I wish I had known about this book sooner. This is a "must-buy" for anyone serious about Cole's work. What was of greatest interest to me was that all of the lyrics for Cole's 1937 "Rosalie" are included. If you want to read an alternate treatment, recommended is "Rosalie, A Storybook Operetta" with the incomparable lyrics of Cole Porter to move the romance along.

Everything about this one is right. Beautiful job. And so elegant which is really so fitting for Cole Porter. I think it's worthy of him. What a joy!
