You know I think Fred introduced half the songs in the Great American Song Book. If not more. From stage to screen, ol'Freddie is still the GOAT dancer. 😊❤ and a darn good singer
I cannot help it but think about Fred and Ginger..."We're drinking, my friend, to the end of a brief episode...make it one for my baby...and one more for the road..."😚
I read somewhere that Hermes Pan considered Ginger Fred's best partner. Not the best dancer but as his partner I think she understood what Fred wanted to say in their dances
@@thewayuwearurhat1751 That sounds right to me. Ginger and Hermes met each other and were dear friends before "Fred and Ginger"...Ginger never took singing or dancing lessons. She practiced herself before and during her Vaudevillian days. She was a natural. I personally love her dancing, with Fred and without. She isn't perfect this, however, helps us relate and puts in our minds, "if she can do it, we can do it". She kept up with Fred, was his equal. I recall Fred interrupting a host, something along these lines, "excuse me, but I must say, Ginger was my most effective dance partner..."💖
Because she didn't have preconceived notions of how the dances should go, she could follow Fred's lead perfectly. And she was a much better actress who could dance, than the others who were dancers who could act, and she SOLD it to the audience. @@thewayuwearurhat1751
increíble Fred !
con ese timing para el tap y su bohemia para cantar❤
How many times has it been said that they don't make em like that anymore!!!

Indeed!😁
Excellent voice, well used by one of the greatest song and dance men in America's history.
Indeed, he did. Composers and lyricists loved him for subtle style in which he presented a song.
@jimbrown1559 HOLLYWOOD needed songs to fill Fred Astaire musicals, so of course they hired the best composers of the 1930s & 40s
.
Mel Torme did a tribute to Fred on one of his live albums. All the songs that he introduced in films. It is a lot.

I have watched this scene about 30 times, it just gets better every time. The man injected life into American culture like no one else, except Kelly.
Don't let it be said little Freddie can't carry his load.. 🎵🎶
Fue maravilloso solo o con partener
No one could ever move like him, not even Kelly.
In one scene at a bar, with a hat on, Fred looks like Sinatra.
One of Astaire's best.
Very few men can wear a bow tie and not look like a chump. Astaire can, and so can Bogart.
THESE PEOPLE WERE SINNERS
Aren't we all?
Jesus is God's unearned Grace to the world. ❤️✝️😊
Every day, every hour of life is a triumph.
We are all sinners.
I adored this guy
I still do.
Talk about dapper...
