I've been trying to get Donny and Marie to do this as a revival.

The title for this song actually came from a drag queen, who would start her/his routine by saying "You don't know the half of Dearie", and then proceed with the story.

Sounds like a very fun, casual atmosphere. George on the piano, Fred singing and tapping. Can't help but imagine how it looked like.

A George & Ira Gershwin number performed by one of the greatest entertainers of all time, accompanied by the composer himself. It doesn't get much better than this. How's that, George? That's great, Freddie!. What an understatement! And catch the bits of Rhapsody In Blue here and there.

OMG, this is the original 1924 Lady Be Good version! Brings back happy memories when I was 14 and I had a record of all the songs from the show. I think I played the record to death! LOL! Do you have anymore?

Did you have the record of this show? Wow. How wonderful is that! I have two songs more from the show.

Yes, in fact it was a record that I kept checking out from my local library. I don't think anybody else could play it because I played it so much! LOL! A recording company in the '70s issued the record taken from original recordings. This is definitely one of those songs I used to listen to. ^__^

Just so you all know...there are at least 2 different discs with these old Gershwin/Astaire recordings on them...I think. I know that I have a couple copies of this song anyway. One of the discs is called "Puttin' on the Ritz" it's out of print, but you can still find it. The other is "The Centenary Collection" 1920s-1942 box set--also out of print, but you can still find it. These albums include music from the Broadway shows "Funnyface," "Lady be Good," "The Bandwagon," and "The Gay Divorce."

This is great! I love that recording and your photo collection. Astaire and Gershwin, how much better can it get? If you're a fan of Astaire, celebrate on May 2009 his 110th Birthday. There will be world-wide celebrations throughout the year, because it's also the 75th Anniversary of the Gay Divorcee.
