Total Legend, nothing else to say.

[lloydphotos]

This is another one of those brilliant Parkinson interviews

[Etienne7513]

Top of the hat !

[MrJimmyboy1972]

nice one fred

[mistersaul]

I'm sorry, but take it out of context and that performance is SHOCKINGLY bad.

[JM4EDR]

@toaratcus, I know, what a beautiful man.

[nritnrat]

Why do the gays love her?

[SH1TLIPS]

great singer Fred Astaire

but not a great version of the song

way to loungy for it's original classical feel

[JamesBondEsq]

Fred - pure class.

[garyanddebbiegumm]

Bette Midler & all

put on the gas & oppose to the elimination of court reporters in California or step on the gas & get our son into SHOW BIZ

[KenfromDublin]

Whata great singer he was too

[dfarmbrough]

But Michael I'm telling you the plot! Isn't the the inspiration for Kenny Everett's Cupid Stunt?

Yarwood never really lost his talent, just his confidence, sadly.

[britishleylandcrap]

Great to see Dee Snider at O:32

:P

[BriefEncounter1987]

i wanna see the whole interview as well! if anyone has it let me know! love this man- he rules!

[welshuser]

Is it just me, or was Bette Midler really sexy in those days?

[jimmywires500]

Is she sexy because of her looks or is spite of it

[Skraboing649]

@welshuser No, it's not just you. There was definately something damn sexy about her. If I had a time machine I'd like to try and change a little bit of her history! :o)

[TheSouthernDaddy]

@welshuser

Extremely!



[midlerfan69]

Does anyone have the entire Bette Midler interview from this? Let's see it! The clip is great.

[jamieh1974]

I have it all on dvd - as well as a few other midler rarities but Iam afraid I am clueless as to how to transfer footage to you tube

[mithol]

The actual interview would be much appreciated!

[filmfreak491]

Yay fred! btw does anyone have the actual fred astaire michael parkinson interview? i'd love to see it.

[mithol]

Me too.

[mithol]

I LOVE FRED!!! And Bette Midler is also just gorgeous. Her natural personality is so special and it comes through in all her movie roles.

[mutikonka]

Oh Fred, you had it!

[rphull]

Great to see Fred Astaire at such a late stage in his career performing so brilliantly. Excellent clip. Thanks!

[mithol]

You should see him dance on the Dick Cavett Show at around 80. He also did a dance with Gene Kelly in 1972 that was also spectacular!

[theultimatekoopa2]

Imagine if Fred was still alive today... aged 109 (born 1899), or what would now be 96 year old Gene Kelly (born 1912)...

[mithol]

It would certainly be strange if he was still alive today...
