Cole Porter month continues with You Do Something To Me. He wrote it in 1929 for the musical, Fifty Million Frenchmen. The song is best known for one line, “Do do that voodoo that you do so well.” I’ve used it myself more than a few times. I only steal from the best.

We begin with Marlene Dietrich emoting the song. She couldn’t really sing but, boy, could she emote.

Ella’s Cole Porter Song Book is the gold standard for all such records.
