Someone - it may have been Jerome Kern - said that he'd rather have Fred Astaire sing his songs than anyone else. I love 'What a Marvelous Party This Is'. Didn't Frank Sinatra sing that, too? With Bing Crosby? In 'High Society', maybe? <BR/><BR/>I'm much too young for any of this music, really - a child of the 70s - but I love the songs they wrote back in the 1930s and 40s. Gershwin, Jerome Kern, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin... They don't make'em like they used to!Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01442754671445893599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-45415679954294604472008-09-23T09:30:00.000-04:002008-09-23T09:30:00.000-04:00Yes, isn't it?

I can't get the tune out of my mind and from what I've read Diana Krall is very old school when it comes to her music.<BR/><BR/>Do you remember another Fred Astaire song: "What a Marvelous Party This Is?" Love that one, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-54867758370583780452008-09-23T09:20:00.000-04:002008-09-23T09:20:00.000-04:00Love the song.

Can't remember which movie, but it was either 'Swing Time' or 'Shall We Dance' I think. It's been a while since I watched them - the old black'n'whites are hard to come by these days - and I can't keep them apart unless they're fresh in my mind, since the plots are so similar in all of them. Gorgeous arrangement, though.Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01442754671445893599noreply@blogger.com
