I Won't Dance

Here I am singing a song first made popular my Fred Astaire, and Ginger Rogers in the 1935 movie "Roberta". It was to become well known to Frank Sinatra's fans as being a true Sinatra classic. I'm backed by Count Basie's amazing band playing Neil Hefti's brilliant arrangement. The same one used for Frank's second recording of the song, only this one is played at a faster tempo. I hope you'll like my version of it!

Love it... where'd you get this recording???? I haven't found it...and really need it for a show I'm directing.

[singingkid]

@FOSSEMOVES Hi, Adam! Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it! The recording was made from Sinatra's actual recording. I removed his vocal, and increased it's tempo, but kept the same key. I didn't mean to take so long in replying. You probably don't need the track now, probably too late, but if not, lemme know, and I'll be happy to send it to you! :)
