Let's Face The Music And Dance

[Tort01ses]

I wish I lived through those years and enjoyed the art neuVeau. New York in it's hay day and Empire with it's glorious self endulgance. After all, life is for the living. I think they even had soup kitchens back then, for the needy. Is anyone dancing yet ?

[F41NXS]

ok MV guys see you all later, you still got music here to enjoy, try some of my favourites.

[blonde7000]

fantastic audio very nice video a classic song

[7belowzero]

Thanks for posting. I really enjoyed it.

[GRHCU]

This is what you call " dancing with the real stars".

Fred & Ginger where magic!!

[9aspengold5]

Who can't love the voice of Nat King Cole. Awesome

[TheLadyHollywood]

Lovely! = )

[sonet66]

[YouTurnTheKey]

This is a very good compilation of movie bits to the tune of my favorite Nat King Cole song.

[Pepsy505]

Very good video! =)

[marianpriest]

Impressive coordination, well done. Excellent

[MultiFrohman]

And Alan goes...

[scottchapmansinger]

[KeithHarperSF]

Nice job

[lumsdend]

Great vid ahite!

[jcrx69]

Fine editing, there, Sara! Thanks for a sweet video! Peace!

[LadyGuedes]

[1psoas9]

Nice JOB, Sarah! Thanks for making it, and for putting it up.

[cremulator69]

some people disliked this. how very sad

[lovemusicsomuch]

@cremulator69 15 people couldn't face the music and much less dance. how VERY depressing. SARA, you're the poet in my heart, never change, AND DON'T YOU EVER STOP !!! :D thank you

[houseconcerts]

lovely.. thanks

[capitanotedeschi]

Sent a link to your video to a friend who was ill and depressed. She enjoyed it and it lifted her spirits. So thanks for creating it and posting it. (I enjoyed it too). 30

[Kimw1967]

I have always liked watching Fred Astaire dance. He was so graceful.

[bryonyrocks]

Clearly people were more easily entertained back then

[bryonyrocks]

The second verse of this song is awful. It's like somebody wrote it for a different song and crowbarred it into this with no regard for how well it fits rhythmically

[MissPaulih]

I'd love to have a dance like that these daysss!!

[MissPaulih]

This is so much beautiful.. it's like the most beautiful music in the world

[sapper4711]

oh dang - I have to get my Fred DVD box set out now and invest in a B&W weekend on the sofa...

[EchoCannon89]

Fred Astaire, Irving Berlin and Nat King Cole, an era of American creative genius.  Compare that to today's popular music; it's a disgrace!

[K2armada]

My dad always sung this when I was a kid- though he only seemed to know the words to the first verse. I remembered it today (I'm 21 now) and this is the first time I've actually heard it all :) Nice video - can't beat the way they used captured the magic in films.

[et7waage1]

Gorgeous all the way!

[SiennaVIP]

Awesome , it is funny to see how the way people dance change with the years

[theblueangel28]

oh this was wonderful

so many sublime dances, perfectly chosen and put together

i loved Nats version too

thank you

[bryonyrocks]

@theblueangel28 shut it you slag

[SatchmoSings]

Very, very well done; this is a fine example of THE BEST of "Youtube."

Thank you.

[deeknits]

what a beautiful video...great dance clips AND Nat King Cole!!! thanks for posting!!! :-)

[roxy2488]

Hello @saraismyname, can you tell me from what movies are the scenes at 0:23; 1:51; and 1:59?

[beckyboolou]

Wonderful montage! Great fun. Thank you!!!!

[auaiao9]

This vid is wonderful and Nat King Cole's voice is as smooth as honey.

[fal2grace]

Excellent! Thanks for creating this.

[forevamore123]

I feel terrible I never heard this song before. I just watched Dancing with the Stars 11 and Jennifer Grey & Derek Hough danced to the song. It was catchy and addicting, so I looked it up.

This video is AWESOME! I especially love the scene from "You Were Never Lovelier". It was gorgeous. I'm totally gonna go buy it now. I love this song!

[costasmos]

Hello, Sara! beautiful video, thanks a lot! Could you please tell me who are the couple between 1:13 and 1:34? From which movie is that taken? They are great! ;)

[saraismyname]

@costasmos Thank you! It's Rita Hayworth and Fred Astaire in "You Were Never Lovelier" at 1:13 and then Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire in "Top Hat" at 1:34 :)

[kennyinmd]

Thank you Sara, that was really fun to watch! Did you slow down some of the clips a bit to match the music?

[antoniariquel]

I l o v e i t. Cyd Charisse the best

[plancher567]

Eternally...

[jaybird97230]

in the opening few second, and peppered though out, is that fred and rita dancing on the patio outside? what film that? and what song are they dancing to, please? thanks, j

[tomtom8428]

@jaybird97230 The song is "I'm old fashioned" out of he film "you have never been lovelier"

[jaybird97230]

@tomtom8428 now  i can ad it to my netflix queue, so i can see this dance in its entirety. thanks a bunch!

[tomtom8428]

@jaybird97230 your more than welcome =).x

[codenamepsychedelic]

thank you for both the song and the video

[PeteMan131]

Incredable song. This song always makes me smile.

[crhydderch]

Love this video!! Thanks for putting it together it's brilliant!! Sad thing is I'm old enough to recognise practically all the Dancers!!  Gotta love Fred though!!!

[swordfish1929]

That is a great list of peopleand a great vidio. Although if I one complaint it is this: Where on Earth is Donald O'connor?!

[Redletter24]

@swordfish1929  I sooo agree with you.....and Ann Miller! Her and Donald O'Conner are my favorite tap dancers!

[TheLadySinclair]

Great Video ! I Love Fred & Ginger and i Love Dance - Fantastic dancers !

[ariascan2]

Thanks for this lovely video!

[darlin1550123]

[deb6sbcglobal]

It's so bizarre that there are some people who didn't like this . Amazing.

[mmangum4444]

fantastic video! Great music! Thanks a million!

[ElDiabloGuapo74]

I'm only 12 and what is this?

[tallpaul521]

Great video, thanks. I love your "What's My Line"" tribute videos.

[LaCheerio]

I beyond love this! Thank's so much for uploading!!!

[ibsys2008]

When I hear this I remember the Allied Dunbar advert where the grim reaper come through the floor of the train. Great sound though.

[wogi06]

*sigh*

Must learn classy dancing..

[mg1881]

Thanks Sara! Beautiful!

[MrMLD72MLD]

♥

[2008littlejohn]

Cyd Charisse had legs right up to her kneck - absolutely gorgeous. The shot of her is as sexy as hell.

[tsukixan]

@2008littlejohn Definitely agree with you. There's no people like these nowadays. Those were natural beauties - Cyd Charisse, Ava Gardner, etc. Today they're just a bunch of plastic surgery and hours of make-up :(

[PeterSt1954]

I liked this so much I attached it to my Facebook Christmas message. Many thanks. Peter

[lovingitandlife]

p.s  and rita.

[lovingitandlife]

brilliant,strictley come dancing,my arse! fred and ginger,these are the best and always will be,thanks sara.

[edwardolive]

[matildecsferreira]

Its a lovely lovely video, thank you for making it sara!

[SherriesBrother]

Dianna Krall's version of this song is her best work...its truly amazing.)

[elekris]

bellissimo!!!

[EddyJay77]

lovely compilation - well done xx

[azucarboy]

Eso es elegancia, soltura, clase; no conozco bailarines así, actuales... es emocionante ver la soltura y cómo vivía el baile Fred Astaire

[MariluLane]

wow this is great! you really capture the essence of the old time vids and movement and it goes brilliantly well with the music!! nice!!! :)XXX

[blondegirlme]

Beautiful :)

[vitalisnews]

FABELHAFT!! Gorgeous! Thanks for putting this on!

[TheLiamfoxe]

Hey, it's Nat King Cole....Vic Damone...geeesh!

[TOMATPOTS]

Nice dancing but they couldn't hold a candle to the great Stuart H !!!!!!

[kurotenchi001]

this is awesome - the timings done really well but i wish i could find the original clip from 'follow the fleet' with astaire singing & dancing. if any1 has plz put up!!

[Dyltron31000]

Hey, Sarah, who sings this version of this Irving Berlin classic again? I think it's the best version I've ever heard.

Also, has anyone seen Christopher Walken sing and dance to this on SNL like 15 years ago?

[saraismyname]

Yes, isn't it great :) It's Nat King Cole singing!

[xninfox]

Hey, I was wondering if you could tell me which couple is dancing between 0:45 and 1:03? I think im a little too young to recognise some of these people.

[saraismyname]

Ofcourse, It's Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth in the movie "You Were Never Lovelier" :)

[xninfox]

Ah thanks alot :-) I thought it could have been Rita Hayworth but i wasnt 100% sure.

[Piquet36]

@saraismyname No, this song's from 'Follow the Fleet.'

[aussie1689]

its the lovely rita hayworth and fred astaire if im not mistaken... love them!!

[lmac2012]

its fred astaire and ginger rogers

[bbcisrubbish]

The first scene is from the film "You were never lovelier" with Rita Hayworth and Fred Astaire.

The music they are dancing to in the film is "I'm old fashioned" by Jerome Kern and Johnnie Mercer.

Rita's voice was dubbed by Anita Ellis.

[YNGR]

Actually, it was Nan Wynn who provided Rita's singing voice in this movie.

[bbcisrubbish]

YNGR.

Thank you for the correction. I will amend my records.

Regards.

[SWATKAT22]

Vic Damone sings a pretty good version, I'm not sure if it's irving Berlin's but it could be

[lovemusicsomuch]

@Dyltron31000 NO I HAVEN'T, I GOTTA CHECK THAT OUT. thanks for mentioning that :D

[emilyfff]

Im singin this song for a wedding just as they leave the church at the end of this month!

[djboony]

haha... how fitting.

[jrcel21]

There used to e the actual dance with the proper music with Fred and Ginger instead of this crap.

[Dyltron31000]

This "crap" is awesome btw. What you're referring to is the original "Follow the Fleet" version. It used to be on youtube, but the last i checked, it has been deleted.

[MissHannahBanana12]

[fossefan]

Oh, so amazing! And a great rendition of the song too (which, in my opinion, can be deliciously haunting).

[saraismyname]

Thanks :) Yes I love the song!

[tubeeorrnottubee]

I love this era.. music, movies, and clothing.. all the wonderful hats! lol Even the architecture.. Fantastic back then! ~Thank you for a little snippet of yesteryear I can drift to sleep thinking about~;)

[saraismyname]

Thank you for watching :)

[napoleonbonarparte]

i was listening to a great radio program on fred the other day....the name astaire came from his sister (or some relative) called claire.

[musicsforevahlovah]

Oh wow, that was marvelously done! Excellent job!

I love it, truly!

[saraismyname]

Thank you!

[nossino]

[saraismyname]

Thank you :) I'm glad you like it! It's Rita Hayworth :) it's one of my favorite dance numbers from "You Were Never Lovelier"

[azucarboy]

[chaszolin]

You forgot to mention one important detail - though it will obvious to many, it won't be to all - the wonderful and (dare I say it) unforgettable Nat King Cole singing this.

[muriel17540]

Thank you for you've done it! That's good...

[saraismyname]

Thank you!
