Question

Cole Porter wrote "Anything Goes" and put out his own recording of it. Which singer released it early on, then returned to it decades later alongside Count Basie?

Accepted Answer

Tony Bennett. Porter put out his own "Anything Goes" in 1934, and Tony Bennett liked it enough to come back to it twice, once in 1962 and again with Count Basie in 1987. Start with the writer singing his own song, then hear how far Bennett carried it.
