Pick it up at Cole Porter →
Bing Crosby with John Scott Trotter and His Orchestra
I’ve Got You Under My Skin · 1949 · via Charlie Parker
Bird didn't need new tunes to sound new. He took Cole Porter's songs, this one and "Begin the Beguine" too, and bent them around his horn. Play Bing Crosby's earlier cut first and you'll hear how far he pulled it.
