Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Cole Porter Song Book is a 1956 studio double album by American jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald, accompanied by a studio orchestra conducted and arranged by Buddy Bregman, focusing on the songs of Cole Porter.

It is the first in a series of thematic LPs devoted to great American songwriters that Fitzgerald recorded from 1956 to 1964.

Norman Granz, Fitzgerald's manager and the producer of many of her albums, decided to have her record well-established popular works becauseI was interested in how I could enhance Ella’s position, to make her a singer with more than just a cult following amongst jazz fans.

So I proposed to Ella that the first Verve album would not be a jazz project, but rather a song book of the works of Cole Porter.

[5]Fitzgerald's time on the Verve label would see her produce her most highly acclaimed recordings, at the peak of her vocal powers.
