Fred & Ginger & George & Ira



"Can't really sing. Dances a little."

That was the original assessment of Fred Astaire's talents.

Within a few years, writers like George & Ira Gershwin were creating songs just for him.

Watch the masterful, real responses from Ginger Rogers, who, in addition to being a great dancer, won an Oscar as Best Actress.

I had to send this along.
Fred and Ginger - I Won't Dance . . . Well, he will dance.

Sinatra also does a great version -- nothing good on Youtube however.

Cheers,
