Pop Stars Teach World to Sing Cole Porter

By Paul Majendie

CANNES, France (Reuters) - A trio of the world's top pop stars are on a mission in Cannes -- teaching the younger generation to fall in love with the songs of Cole Porter.

Sheryl Crow, Alanis Morissette and Natalie Cole have decided it is high time to sing the praises of the Jazz Age maestro.

All three perform in "De-Lovely," a new Cole Porter biopic starring Kevin Kline as one of the most influential popular music composers of the 20th century.

Add cameo appearances by British singing stars Robbie Williams, Elvis Costello and Mick Hucknall and they should have enough talent to pull a younger crowd into the movie.

Sad to say, but the rap-buying youth culture will be bored to tears by the wit, charm and melodies of Cole Porter...no vulgarity, misogynistic lyrics or swearing.

I don't know who Cole Porter is.
