Greatest Tenors Audio CD

Fred Astaire's reputation will surely rest on his terpsichorean feats, usually partnered by Ginger Rogers, preserved in Hollywood musicals like THE GAY DIVORCEE and SWINGTIME. Although he had a limited range, Astaire was a fine crooner as well, rounding out his talents to become one of the 20th century's great entertainers. On FRED ASTAIRE SINGS, he reprises some of the standards that he premiered or popularized in those same celluloid classics. Taking a page from the contemporaneous Sinatra book, these 1958 sessions get the full pop-swing treatment, featuring a big band complemented with strings and occasionally chorus. With his understated charm and palpable affability, Astaire turns in rhythmically sure and undeniably classy performances. In his sotto voce chuckle on "Isn't This a Lovely Day," and his choice placement of the (nearly) spoken word or line in any number of tunes, Fred Astaire shrewdly and effortlessly combines the suave and the real. Recorded in 1958. Personnel includes: Fred Astaire (vocals); Pete King (conductor).
