Cole Albert Porter (June 9, 1891 – October 15, 1964) was an American composer and songwriter from Indiana. His works include the musical comedies Kiss Me, Kate (1948) (based on Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew), Fifty Million Frenchmen and Anything Goes, as well as songs like “Night and Day”, “I Get a Kick Out of You” and “I’ve Got You Under My Skin”. He was noted for his sophisticated (sometimes ribald) lyrics, clever rhymes, and complex forms. He was one of the greatest half-dozen contributors to the Great American Songbook.

While I agree with your first few statements, your little jab to Americans is really very ignorant. Don't assume all Americans will make an observation like that, please. Not all Americans judge people on their physical appearance.

In reply to `bigsexyshaq, whether Gershwin was better or not, is purely a matter of personal opinion - I feel there is room for both & many more. As to better looking thats a typical shallow ,average American observation. Judge them on their music alone, and they are both 1st class.
