| | Du Barry Was A Lady / Meet The People - Music from the Movies |
 | | This is an overall excellent release, and the sound is especially good, but it will probably be most savored by fans of Porter and MGM, great 1940s pop, and lesser-known film musicals. |
 | | Du Barry Was A Lady is the MGM version of Cole Porter’s 1939 Broadway hit about a nightclub washroom attendant who, after having been slipped a mickey, dreams he returns to the French court of Louis XIV. |
 | | After the stage Du Barry the song was also used in a 1941 London revue, Black Vanities, where it was sung by Frances Day. |
