Very helpful thanks!
Happy 121st birthday Fred Astaire! (May 10th, 2020)
what a combination: Fred Astaire & Cole Porter, George/Ira Gershwin, Irving Berlin, ....
The best American composers of the time. He interpreted them so humanly, so vulnerably and playfully.
This music just cheered me up on a terribly sad day.
I wouldn't want to over romanticize those times, as we all know there were plenty of bad stuff going on back then too, but boy I wish I could trade my covid days and live in that era for at least a day.
With music like this, who could ever feel sad or lonely?warm hug for the heart,that's what this is.❤️
And , you too... I feel your warm hug...
I would have given anything to live during that wonderful era!!!!! 😍
The Depression?!? U r.
Same
a world war? Just wait
Listening in 2020, during the COVID pandemic. It soothes the heart. Helps you forget about the harsh reality.
Happy day-dreaming is good for the soul and healing for the mind.
That's it, it takes you to a place and time before all this happened. Not the least, the Ukrainian slaughter, which is just the icing on the nightmare cake.
How can you not love Fred Astaire..?
Yeah, well I do! Doesn't it show....?.
🎉❤🎉❤
What a wonderful talent. Always a gentleman, graceful, classy, suave. A shame they aren't made like Astaire anymore.
Love to hear his singing.2022 grew up watching Fred and Ginger, now going back to watching often. Nothing going these days so thankfully we have U Tube.
I was watching him when I was 6 in 2000 and '01.
Fred, an all round superb enterainer. I love listening and watching him.
Even if he didn't have a flawless voice per se there is something very special about it which I often miss when listening to other singers' versions of these songs
Hermione Baggins .h
I agree. Fred's voice is distinctive- you always could tell it is him singing. I also like that way he slid his voice around. I don't know what you call it; hope you know what I mean x
he has musicality!
@@mabel8179 Portamento?
1Escuchar a Fred Astaire los temas de los films es una alegría al alma
He really does have a FANTASTIC voice.
He does, but he's not Caruso. Don't think he would disagree, when he stopped laughing.
Perhaps Mr. Astaire did not have a great voice, but I like how he was able to express singing
This music makes me feel happy and peaceful. : )
Ditto
@@swell_gal Triple that!
Me too i was born in '64 but love music in this era especially Andrews sisters and many more😍❤☺
Agreed 100%
I think we were born to late
In "cheek to cheek" he always pronounces the ending K distinctly (yet without emphasis) because if he didn't the song would have been ruined. We'd hear "I can hardly spea", "chee to chee", "the happiness I see" etc, That K is gold.
Would have sounded like 'cheese', wouldn't it?
Astaire was one of the greatest singers of all time....that is why he had more songs written FOR HIM than any singer ever!
It's okay to say he was your favorite singer. To call him a great singer, though, is a bit of a stretch. He was a great dancer with a pleasant voice.
I'm not sure your second statement is true, Jade, whilst your first obviously is. Both Al Jolson and Sinatra had an enormous amount of quality songs written for them. This was often because when those two recorded something more often than not it was a hit, and song writers like royalties...
The great thing about Fred's singing is that the song took precedence and the words were clear; no wonder composers and lyricists loved him! He didn't overwhelm the song. Plus he had impeccable rhythm and new just how and where to put the emphasis in a tune. So in the end, it is the song you remember, not the singer, although he is instantly recognizable; when you hear his voice, you don't mistake him for anyone else. Now that's style.
@@kayerin5749 And this dude could dance as well!
@@kayerin5749 - well said and so true... totally agree
nothing better than fred.
I LOVE FRED AND GINGER IN THEIR MOVIES DANCING AND SINGING.........A GREAT TEAM INDEED!!
Here I am again in a lovely place.
Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers were a great team. I love their movies. Love "A Fine Romance" from Swing Time (1936)
Fred AstIre had great singing voice @the musician loved playing behind him, this i heard all the time he had the right timing @the bands loved him. So he was talented man in his great dancing. He ate very light, like one boiled egg, with apjece of toast and coffee or tea in the morning, also he ate light all day, He loved what he did dancing and singing and I know other people lived longer than him. Because I know some brain stormer is going to think so. Why did he die before other people that did nothing well brain stormer We all have a term of time. BY THE CREATOR HIMSELF NO MATTER WHAT WE DO. but i am telling u about his singing. How good he was. Thank u 4 listening Maria is my name.
Every time I listen to the song Cheek To Cheek I really feel that I'm in heaven. It is something which is so dear to our ears you can keep listening over and over, songs like this are called "KarnPriya कर्णप्रिय" in my language Hindi. Awesome song.
Thank you for sharing this!
Ah, què vol dir?
I so much agree with you. And to a fellow Indian from another, this song is Moksha (मोक्ष).
Astaire and the movies of the 30's had what movies and stars today, with all their technical advances, utterly lack: charm, elegance, style, wit, talent and creativity.
@@ruthpurkey5682 And let's not forget - Irving Berlin (et. al.).
Past Perfect Vintage Music THAN YOU SO MUCH NOR THIS WONDERFUL FRED ASTAIRE MUSIC.
You're welcome - thanks for your support of our independent label :)
When I was 13, I became crazy about this gentleman and incidentally I learned English thanks to him ( I am French )... always in my heart he will stay 🎥😘
What is extraordinary about Fred's singing is his enunciation. Every word is perfectly pronounced.
I am listening to Fred Allaire in 2022.
I love love fred astaire his dancing and his perfection absolutly no topping from no one. He is a Gentleman with classy and style from head to toe. Fred and ginger the perfect couple. I have learned tap dancing from the lessons about fred astaire from my dancing school teacher. I like the elegant style from fred astaire no one is like him and will ever be like him He is my god of dancing and will it be forever, hope to See him Some day in haeven an can dance with him❤️❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗🤗
I’ve been a fan of Fred Astaire ever since I discovered his wonderfully nostalgic movies from the 30s and 40s. To this day, I still believe he was the most charming leading actor to grace the silver screen. His voice is soothing yet charismatic.
Thanksfully !!!❤️ A sooooooooooo beautiful Album with those wonderful titles of the Great Marvellous FRED ASTAIRE !!!!!❤️ Astrid (Paris)
I just trip over my own feet when I try, but this wonderful music sure makes me want to try to dance!!! I've enjoyed Fred Astaire's movies from the DVD versions. It's great fun to watch Fred's creative dancing-even on the ceiling!
Fred had movement
So gracefully gliding across the floor. With Rita,
Magical, he just loved Rita. He did
Say, Rita was his best partner.
Thank you, Fred,
And you too editorial person.
So happy to see
Fred Astaire...what an American Treasure! So talented singing and dancing!
Love Fred and Ginger and Gene and Donald. Truly great talented people. We will never see the like of them again. I know everyone raved about 'La La Land' but there is no comparison. These people KNEW their dance steps and were disciplined. They didn't just take six weeks of lessons and then make a movie. So glad we have CZcams so we can hear and see them at their peak. Thanks so much for your website. I just discovered it today and have subscribed immediately
Thank you Kate, for saying it perfectly. I only discovered this website two days ago and I've been glued to the screen almost ever since.
The fashion for style in dance has gone with this era, I* hate to say. People are noticing it again and they're trying to recreate it again, but something's missing, and it may be Fred.
When they were recording the dances he performed with Ginger, her shoes didn't have the taps on them so didn't make the required sound. So, he and Hermes Pan rerecorded to make her sound.
Peter Taylory
Could you tell me the full name of Donald? I know the names you mentioned but not this person (new to vintage world)...
@@PlanetYokoshima Donald O'conner. He was in "singin in the rain" with Gene Kelly and in "theres no business like show business" with Marilyn Monroe iclduing many more xx
Marvelous!
Still is!
Astonish music, lot's of soldier dance to this music. The English Patient what a movie great.
Моя любимая мелодия " щека к щеке". Часто включала диск под названием " цилиндр". Рада услышать в Ютубе. Хорошо бы молодежь приобщилась к этим старым, но не увядающим мелодиям.
Insignificant skinny man. Got by on sheer talent and hard work and charm.
He looked all those things, William, but he was a giant from sheer talent and ability. That famous remark "balding, skinny, can't sing, dances a bit', probably said it all, but he was so much more than that.
I really like his voice.
You mean 'slim'...I do think and forgive me if I'm wrong..but there where eating disorders way back then too.
Even when I was a kid I was impressed with his voice. I don't think he would have been as famous without both his voice and dance. He always seemed so natural and graceful. It just kind of made me happy and comfortable myself to see and hear him. I can see where people going through the great depression (like my young parents) could forget their troubles for a while.
Singing in the Rain!
Not
One of my favorite all time films
I learned how to sing these songs in the right style by listening to Fred in the old movies. I was a teenage when I discovered them and years later still among my favorites.
I have all the movies they are perfect
My Great Aunt Trixie loved him! I love and miss you!
Songs here miss some of other classic Fred stuff. So, we need to see all his films and realize what a genius he was and guess what? You could understand every word unlike some of the slop today.

Hear, hear!!!
i love Fred Astaire
Magnifique Merci. FRANCE
Indeed , hello France , NYC feels you...
Thank you for taking us back... way back then. When music was still music. When dancers were still dancers.When singers were singers.
Brilliant album! He's such a good singer:)
Grazie sono bellissime queste canzoni! L'eleganza di Fred è stupenda.
This is a wonderful collection of nostalgic music, highlighted by the incomparable voice of Mr. Fred Astaire.
This is music!!!
I LOVE THE MUSIC FROM THAT ERA........I GREW UP LISTENING TO THIS BEAUTIFUL MUSIC......I LOVE IT!!
Jo també.
Wonderful,,Fantastic,,Great...I remember him in the 40's...
These songs were made popular in his early movies and performed here by Mr. Astaire in recording studio quality sound (i.e.: "I'd Rather Lead the Band"; "Let's Face the Music and Dance" or "Pick Youself Up"). Just imagine Fred Astaire tap dancing for us.
It's fortunate that Mr. Astaire gave us the exquisite pleasure of listening to his voice under better conditions, without distractions (for original ambience there are the DVDs). This set is a pleasure.
Fred was simply the greatest!
Music changed because Mr Astaire could do this. His singing is a high wire act and then he adds the percussion line with his feet by looking graceful. He is the wizard of syncopation. He called it, "On the beat, off the beat". Brilliant, Bravo, Polished to perfection. Recorded to film live in one take including the vocal and Freds dancing. Thank you, you're wonderful.
"Never gonna dance" is always, for me, the real tear jerker. He might actually lose Ginger and he is noble and heartbroken.
I agree.
It's --'I only have eyes for you'' for me.
@@MrDaiseymay ?? "I Only Have Eyes For You" is not a Fred Astaire song? Dick Powell introduced it in the movie "Dames" (1934).
@@rondaleroi jolson did it first...
@@wwbigon311 Do you have a link?
They were great talents from my youth. They won't come back, nor the wonderful music and songs that flourished during those years.
Well, they haven't really gone, nor should they. There is nothing like them now and they need preserving. Thanks to collectors on CZcams, they are doing their best.
This music lives. Have you seen how popular swing dancing has become? With young people?
Thanks Fred cheering me up.You will always be my favourite.
Fred Astaire is famous for his dancing. But composers had his voice in mind when they wrote these great songs. There are tons of better singers but nobody could put a song across as he could.
I agree. He didn't have a pro singer's voice quality but he was so darned musical, it was just a joy to listen to him. He also composed and played a mean piano (see Follow the Fleet).
A great singer!
Great. Fantastic love fred astaire music and dance. 😊😊😄love it. Thank you carl Payne.
Wonder full
Astaire, Martha Raye, Carol Channing, Stubby Kaye, Ann Miller, Jimmy Durante, Gene Kelly, Walter Huston, Dooley Wilson, among others who don't come to mind at the moment, were a breed of different singer whom we didn't expect to be listed on Billboard. Yet they did memorable versions of the songs they sang. For example, Walter Huston's "September Song" is heavenly.
Nothing like listening on a sunny Sunday afternoon :) the perfect playlist ☀️
Beautiful .. Transports one to a more gentle fairytale World . 😊💕💕💕

I just know that I lived in the 1930s and it was magical; I even remember a lot of these numbers. I don't know what I did wrong to have to return to this crazy world in 1981 but I can tell you that it's not as much fun.
It's 2022 and I hope you don't regret coming back now. However the world is an even worse place than it was in 1981.Lots worse.
the best
So many favorites! 💓 Thank you for this wonderful compilation of such a remarkable artist.
Perfection!
Desde Chile gracias, esta música me hace feliz !!!!!🎶🌸👍✔🍀 Es una terapia.
You sang just as you danced Fred....With PERFECTION..❤️❤️❤️💋💋💋🤗
i so agree! such dancing talent! great music and wonderful films! never to see again i fear.
These wonderful songs: carefree, energetic, and loving -- they spoke to us then, and they speak to us now!
Oh, also at 31:28 the song, The way you look tonight, when Jerome Kern first played it for his lyricist Dorothy Fields, she burst out crying because it was so beautiful.
Love it. . .Dancing Cheek to Cheek.
Un régal 😍💓💓💓💓🤌💫❤👋👌👌👌👌👌👌👌❤merciiii.
He was really quite a wonderful singer.
from Sumerian civilization to our days these were the best years in the world... now it's funk and classless riffraff ffff
GLORIOUS!
Formidable.
Para mí, el bailarín más elegante de la historia del cine.... maravilloso!
Tienes toda la razón. Sofisticado, distinguido, Sir Fred Astaire...
This cheers me up no end. Thankyou for posting. 🙂
You are so welcome!
Wow! What a difference. Thank you so much for bringing this music into the 21st century.
The best music ever.
Ammirazion for Fred Astarie nostagil men beatifoul eternity
Hi thank you good evening thank you beauty playlist very special remember with song good time and togerher special friends
FRED ASTAIRE, j'adore sa musique car elle me donne immédiatement l'envie de danser, chose que j'ai toujours aimé faire de toute jeune. J'avais le rythme dans la peau, j'apprenais facilement toutes danses.
Elizabeth, chérie, vien danser avec moi! (Rio, 21/nov/2019).
GREAT MAN GREAT
I love deeply Fred Astaire. God bless him in peace. The best dancer ever. I can only consider Bob Fosse as the second great dancer. Blessings for both.
Listening to this all the way through again today; congratulations on the exceptionally fine transfers - the sound is wonderful, an absolute joy! I have most of these - all, perhaps - on an LP I bought at least 35 years ago. One side is Fred and Adele together from one or more of their movies, the rest Fred by himself (as I remember it). All of the compliments on this page about Fred are right on the mark - a great singer of the right kind of song, elegant and classy , the embodiment of that all was graceful and chic.
Many thanks for the lovely feedback Richard. Continued 'happy listening' to you .... I'm off to find my dancing shoes ! :-)
@@PastPerfectVintageMusic Sigh . . . I'm like Miniver Cheevy, "born too late . . . ."
Do you mean Fred and Ginger? Adele never made movies.
@@rogerpropes7129 I stand corrected; Adele didn't make the transition to film, although she had offers. I dug out the LP I mentioned above: Monmouth-Evergreen Records, 1697 Broadway, NYC 10019; number MES7036, title "Lady Be Good," with 8 other songs by Fred alone. Most of the original recordings were by Columbia. Adele sings with Fred in the "Lady Be Good" recordings. The jacket lists another album with Fred and Adele as "Funny Face." Notes on the jacket were by Peter Orchard.
Sigh . . . one of these days, I've GOT to get a new belt for the turntable and a new cartridge . . . been a long time since I listened to that record or any of the others. Thanks for prompting me to go digging!
J'ADORE !!!!!
Perfect man
I still have my tap shoes :)
Do tell , please ...
Great
There was something so comforting in his music
He only had a reasonable voice but that's all you need when you can sell a song like he could. More than that is was his grace and elegance. They've tried but nobody has ever even equalled him and his blazing talent. He didn't even like dancing when he used to have to escort Adele to dance classes but he rose as Adele disappeared, when she got sick of it and married.
Yes i enjoy listening to his singing . thank you..
THANK YOU so much for this downloaded recording. I owned the LP before the sound was restored. This is wonderful.
Would it be that some of the new generation would somehow be compleled to sing and dance in this style.
Fantastic.
indeed ...timeless beautiful ...
wunderbar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love.
Fred Astaire el mejor
I love this music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still my favourite dancer. Would of liked to hear him sing the duet with Ginger Rogers in the Swing Time movie "Let's Call The Whole Thing Off". Or am I asking too much? It's the only one that doesn't sound right. Still loved this upload. Thanks.
It's a perfect album! I love Fred's dancing, acting and singing.
