Cute montage. It's too bad that you had no pictures from the 2 times they actually acted or danced to this song-in Shall We Dance and in Barklay's of Broadway. I must admit that I like Astaire's version (the original 1936) best.

@fredginger2009

Where do you find the original Fred Astaire soundtrack?

[fredginger2009]

Just put in "They Can't Take that Away..." into Youtube search and you will see it.

"They Can't Take That Away From Me" is a 1937 song written by George Gershwin and Ira Gershwin and introduced by Fred Astaire in the 1937 film "Shall We Dance".

The song is performed by Astaire on the foggy deck of the ferry from New Jersey to Manhattan. It is sung to Ginger Rogers, who remains silent listening throughout. No dance sequence follows, which was unusual for the Astaire-Rogers numbers.

@homomelodycus Moreover, George Gershwin wrote "They Can't Take That Away From Me" inspired by his then date, Ginger Rogers . . . based on her endearing traits. So, secretly twice fitting that this song be sung to her.
