Swing Time - Rogers and Astaire
In this Swing Time clip, Lucky, Astaire, saves Penny's, Rogers, job by showing how much she has taught him. The first true dance number with the two, the other being with Fred fumbling and pretending to be a terrible dancer. Both scenes, however, go to the same song, Pick Yourself Up, this scene without lyrics and much more lively with the other more calm, with lyrics, between the two. Music by Jerome Kern and Lyrics by Dorothy Fields

Fred Astaire - Easter Parade (1948) - Steppin' Out with My Baby (w/ dialogue)
Fred Astaire - Easter Parade (1948) - Steppin' Out with My Baby (w/ dialogue) The Easter parade is an American cultural event consisting of a festive strolling procession on Easter Sunday. Typically, it is a somewhat informal and unorganized event, with or without religious significance. Persons participating in an Easter parade traditionally dress in new and fashionable clothing, particularly ladies' hats, and strive to impress others with their finery. The Easter parade is most closely associated with Fifth Avenue in New York City, but Easter parades are held in many other cities. Starting as a spontaneous event in the 1870s, the New York parade became increasingly popular into the mid-20th century—in 1947, it was estimated to draw over a million people. Its popularity has declined significantly, drawing only 30000 in 2008. Easter Parade is a 1948 American musical film starring Judy Garland and Fred Astaire, featuring music by Irving Berlin, including some of Astaire and Garland's best-known songs, such as "Steppin' Out With My Baby" and "We're a Couple of Swells." It was the most financially successful picture for both Garland and Astaire as well as the highest-grossing musical of the year. The film won the 1948 Academy Award for Best Original Music Score. The writers of the film also received the Writers Guild of America Award for Best Written American Musical.

Fred Astaire - The way you look to-night.mpg
At last the Academy acknowledges that it's possible to create movie musical magic without necessarily employing each and every chorus-dancer in Hollywood.Here's how it goes: Fred bursts in on Ginger while she's in the middle of washing her hair and sings this most intimate of love songs while her mop is covered with carefully coiffed soapsuds.As with "Thanks for the Memory" two years later, Astaire- who doesn't need to dance to put over a love song-demonstrates that sometimes the most awkwardly unlikely moments in a relationship can be the most tenderly touching.Note that Jerome Kern enhances his delightful melody with "humming" passages in between lines, making the song even most sensitively sweet.Incidentally , while Astaire sings this in more of a slow ballad tempo in the picture, his commercial version is strictly in dance time.

Fox Trot. "Night and Day" is a popular song by Cole Porter. It was written for the 1932 musical play Gay Divorce. It is perhaps Porter's most popular contribution to the Great American Songbook and has been recorded by dozens of artists. Fred Astaire introduced "Night and Day" on stage, and his recording of the song was a #1 hit. He performed it again in the 1934 film version of the show, renamed The Gay Divorcee, and it became one of his signature pieces. Porter was known to claim that the Islamic call to worship he heard on a trip to Morocco inspired the song. Another popular legend has it he was inspired by the Moorish architecture of the Alcazar Hotel in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. The song was so associated with Porter that when Hollywood first filmed his life story in 1946, the movie was entitled Night and Day. "Night and Day" has been recorded many times, notably by Fred Astaire, Bill Evans, Art Tatum, Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra, Dionne Warwick, Ella Fitzgerald, Shirley Bassey, Ringo Starr, Sondre Lerche, Doris Day, Deanna Durbin, Jamie Cullum, Etta James, and U2.

Astaire & Rogers, stupendous "I Won't Dance" Finale (Roberta) in HD, Slo Mo encore!
Please enjoy Rogers and Astaire in the stupendous "I Won't Dance" Finale from ROBERTA (1935), restored in High Def, with an encore in slow motion! Fred Astaire was brought to Hollywood in 1933 to dance with Joan Crawford in Dancing Lady, then moved from MGM to RKO where he was rather casually paired with Ginger Rogers for the first time in Flying Down to Rio. Their one shared dance in that 1933 pre-Code film, The Carioca, gave them no more than a few minutes together on screen, and even made it appear that the fledgling pair was having trouble keeping up with the salacious native dancers, clunking their heads together at one unfunny juncture. While Astaire's solos in Rio are jacknife sharp, it is clear that insufficient rehearsal time was allotted for Ginger to achieve perfection in the Carioca, with Joan Crawford having experienced the same handicap, plus a broken ankle, during the filming of Dancing Lady. After Rio, fortunately, Fred gained sufficient control at RKO to ensure that weeks of exhaustive rehearsals preceded the actual filming of all his subsequent movies. As a consequence, one of the greatest thrills audiences have ever experienced occurred between 1933 and 1935: Ginger Rogers caught up with Fred Astaire. Watching their pairings in sequence--Rio, The Gay Divorcee, Roberta, and finally Top Hat, Rogers' growth in precision and increasing ability to perform with abandon are a stunning tribute to her talent and perseverence. Her exhilaration and obvious ...

Fred Astaire + Michael Jackson - Smooth Criminal [short film]
FRED ASTAIRE in SMOOTH CRIMINAL Starring Fred Astaire, Cyd Charisse, Leslie Caron Choreographed by Michael Kidd 'Smooth Criminal' by Michael Jackson Video edited by CFJ Originally uploaded on my 1st channel in March 2008, then on my 2nd one on April 21, 2008, and also on June 28, 2009 (HQ version). This was the first in my MJ trilogy videos, which I made hoping that MJ would see it and just smile. It had got more than 2 million views in total until my former channel got deleted on December 8, 2010. The following is the original description I wrote for the video. --------------- I love both Astaire and Michael Jackson. I want young people to know Astaire stuff, that is why I made this. The video features scenes from the Girl Hunt ballet in The Band Wagon (1953) starring Astaire and Cyd Charisse (those supreme legs!! The most perfect body a woman could have. So sensual, so elegant), to which MJ gave homage in his Smooth Criminal vid (also in a performance of Get Happy on the Jacksons show in the 70s as well as You Rock My World in 2001), and, as an intro, a sequence from Daddy Long Legs (1955) featuring Leslie Caron (in motion pictures, you mustn't put a coin into a jukebox in an ordinary way!). My initial idea was using also Yolanda And The Thief (1945) where Astaire appeared with the same costume, a white suit, hat and a blue shirt, but I eventually omitted it. Michael Kidd worked with Janet in the Alright vid in 1990, featuring Cyd Charisse (in the red dress!), the ...

Tribute to Fred Astaire. His leading ladies include Adele Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Rita Hayworth, and Cyd Charisse. Fred Astaire (born Frederick Austerlitz;[1] May 10, 1899 -- June 22, 1987) was an American film and Broadway stage dancer, choreographer, singer and actor.

Beyond film and television, many classical dancers and choreographers, Rudolf Nureyev; Sammy Davis, Jr.; Michael Jackson; Gregory Hines; Mikhail Baryshnikov; George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins among them, also acknowledged his importance and influence.
