A Great American SongbookIn an album that contains many of the finest songs ever written by Berlin, Porter, Gershwin and others, Fred Astaire proves that it phrasing and timing, and not voice, that make a great singer. This is a truly remarkable CD in all aspects. The sound quality, considering it was recorded in 1952, is superb. Astaire is in incomparable form, with the songs sounding much better than some of his earlier versions. And the sextet supporting Astaire, including the marvelous Oscar Peterson at the keyboard…
Astaire - the one & onlyNo question that Fred Astaire could dance and sing. This CD incorporates his most famous, (& best), tunes. However, I was somewhat disappointed as these tunes are not the original tracks from his various movies. I prefer the older, & more "ancient" versions. Nevertheless, a CD worth having in your library.THW in CA
