Deserves to be remembered. he's my favorite songs
american composer.

I'll second the sentiment. Sinatra's recording of "I've Got You Under My Skin" is one of life's great pleasures, imho. I've been working my way through Gershwin's songs on piano, and I have to say the songbooks of Porter et al. are among America's great musical gifts to the world.

I don't see it as a misuse of the word, and I'd defy anyone here — Karl — to come with a lyric one eighth as good.  ;)
