Night and Day, he was the one.... Cole Porter, one of America's great composer-lyricists, was born on this date in 1891. He wrote the scores for Anything Goes , Kiss Me, Kate, Can-Can, and Silk Stockings . Some of his most famous songs were "I Get a Kick Out of You," "Begin the Beguine," and "I've Got You Under My Skin." Seriously injured in a horseback-riding accident in 1937, Porter continued to write witty and upbeat songs, despite the pain he continually suffered for the rest of his life.
