Whether Fred is 119 or 66, you'd never know it! Awesome. Thanks for posting!

I love Fred Astaire, sorry but I simply love him,

If I were Dave, I'd pick Sandy...horsewoman means money.

I'm not really impressed, I guess dance has moved along too far since 165. Jimmy sounded closed up (maybe just youth) in the first piece, but I think he was 'finger-syncing' to the big band record/tape. I haven't heard it in years, but it sure sounded like his recorded solo.

Not to knock either performer, please - just not up to what I expect from either.

F.A. can stand for Fred Astaire or Freakin' Awesome. Either way...

Fred Astaire and Jimmy Smith, WOW!

Great video, but I HATE how the dance scene has been slowed and sped up to make Fred look better. Come on! Fred Astaire needs no help!
