In 1930, Broadway critics were scandalized by a white actress portraying a streetwalker in Cole Porter’s The New Yorkers. When producers moved the scene to Harlem and recast it with a Black singer, those same critics applauded. This week, we dig into the double standards, radio bans, and genius behind one of Cole Porter’s most controversial songs.

 

Indianapolis jazz vocalist Sandy Lomax performs “Love for Sale” and shares stories from her career — a Wayne Newton phone mix-up, her six-year residency in the Cole Porter Room, and advice for young singers brave enough to step up to a jam. Then Eric faces the three-question quiz.
