Does anybody know who sings the version of Cole Porter's "You Do Something to Me" that is featured in this film?

That's a great Q, I've been wondering about who sings Cole Porter in Sleuth for ages!! All my searches have gone nowhere so far. So, in addition to who sings "You do something for me", does anybody know who sings "Anything goes" and "Just one of those things" featured in this film? I'd love to buy the CD with these songs sung exactly like that, but have a hard time identifying the "culprit(s)".

Can't say for sure, but it seems that all three songs featured the same singer. It could be Mr Cole Porter himself.

I don't know, but it's definitely not Cole Porter himself singing them, I can tell you that.

I think it's William Gaxton.

Anyone any closer to who the singer / version are for the Cole Porter songs? Let's keep working on this.

More than seven years later and still nobody knows! The soundtrack was actually released on CD recently, but the Porter tunes weren't included.

These recordings are not vintage.
