I really hate people removing the free access of this great man's performances that makes us all smile. I am sure Fred would appreciate our appreciation.
Unfortunately one reason why these clips get removed is that his widow keeps an iron fist grip on anything related to Fred Astaire. You still can’t find his movies on home video and that’s even sadder
The song is called "Puttin' On the Ritz" written in 1927 by Irving Berlin (born Israel Beilin May 11, 1888 in Tolochin, The Russian Empire - Belarus today).
MsLatvia, Its refreshing to see somebody mentioning the songwriter. Irving Berlin composed over 3,000 songs through his 101 years. And he composed all his songs only on the black notes of his piano in the key of "f" sharp. He also had a lever built at the base of his piano that when pressed raised all the black keys up one octave. Irving Berlin was born in 1888, he died in 1989. As its coming up to Christmas, Ill just throw in that Irving Berlin composed the greatest Christmas song ever. White Christmas......
I know this is off-topic, but I work in retail, and one day, a crackhead broke in to my workplace, stole a stick we use to front-face items on the shelf, and started dancing like Fred. It was the funniest thing I had ever seen.
What can one say? Words cannot do justice, his talent and energy do it all. Ballroom lady dancers wished that they could have danced with him ! Can you imagine the money that cld have been raised for charity, if we all had a ticket!! I never tire of his songs; have his book and records. Thanks TH-cam! Elisabeth dancers
Its because the vintage vibe. The feeling you get when you listen to this was the same feeling you'd get walking to your white picket fence and nice house and '57 Chevy to the smell of apple pie and see your wife Roseanne with her floral apron on smiling at you and your two kids rush out to give you a hug after a long day at work
Even today it has a timeless quality. Seth McFarlane is a big fan of using this type of music in his shows and movies. He talks about this on the commentary for the movie Ted.
@@robertbangkok From what I've read about her partnering with Astaire, he worked her hard and demanded perfection. Not to many potential partners of his were up to the task. Rogers deserves probably a lot more recognition than she's given.
I'm 33 and blast music like this in my car. People look at me like I'm crazy. 😂 Love music from the old days when music was actually music and took talent.
His dancing is amazing. It is perfect, jazz is fantastic and Fred Astaire took it too a whole new level. Too bad we don't see talent like that these days.
I always liked Ginger Rogers response when others it would raise to her about the phenomenal dancer in the talents of her partner, Fred Astaire. She would simply say, “yes, but you should try that backwards and heels!“ Touche Ms. Rogers! That’s a perfect commentary about the condition of women in this country when you think about it. Never paid as much; always have to work harder and better to go up the food chain. If you don’t believe me, think about what happened when they had to re-shoot all of Kevin Spacey’s scenes for the movie, “Money is never enough“ or somesuch. The leading male Mark Wahlberg, his contract offered many hundreds of thousands of dollars per day for were that contingency to occur. Michelle Williams, his female counterpart and one might say a significantly more accomplished actor, was offered base pay I don’t even think I was $100 a day. Mr. Wahlberg was so embarrassed by the difference in pay he donated all of his to charity. Wow.
Dude come on. We have plenty of modern talent today. There’s a lot of shit, but you can’t tell me we haven’t had talent since then if people like freddie mercury or michael bublé or even brendan urie have existed over the past 40 years.
It's not like these artists nowadays aren't trained and don't have any skills (that's what it actually is, 'talent' is a pretty meaningless word), quite the opposite. It's just that they mostly use it to produce garbage because that's what seems to sell the most at the moment.
Fred Astairw was actually a fan of special effects and invented a few. Him dancing with himself as the backline in this video is a good example. He also does a cool floor to ceiling dance with ginger rogers that was a masterful use of mirrors. I get what your saying, and I agree, but remember special effects have their place in proper showmanship.
Actually, each of the back-up dancers are also Fred Astaire. I read this scene was filmed by carefully exposing only one tall narrow strip of the film stock at a time, shielding the others. Moving, exposing strip by strip across the frame. Then rear projection of the composite while Fred performed the foreground dance.
And in Easter Parade, there's this really cool composting thing, where everybody in the background is dancing normal speed, but Fred Astaire is dancing in slow motion up in front.
I totally forgot about that kovir!! Pretty sure that was the first time I heard the song when I was a kid! Gotta be 16 years ago when I saw the movie. Frank Barone(cant remember his real name I know its Peter but not sure the last name)was awesome in that movie as the monster.
Thank you for mentioning that. I just filmed a my local Orchestra doing this song with 2 great dancers and would hate to have it incorrect on our facebook page for people to see.
If we're blue and we don't know what to do,why don't we spend our time to see this Mr Astaire's Puttin' on The Ritz.This grandiose musical sequence in the 1946 Paramount Pictures' Blue Skies is one of the most animating,captivating,and venerating solo dance numbers ever performed on the silver screen.The dance number of the great master hoofer and his back-up chorus ( the similar Fred Astaire's ) can be widely-praised for its well-coordinated movements,for its well-implemented visual trick,for its well-illustrated step designs,and for its well-crafted song.The reputation of Mr Fred Astaire as one of the all-time greatest entertainers will always be associated with facility,nobility,vitality,fidelity,and cordiality.He was / will always be one-of-a-kind performer and genuine personality in the showbiz world.

I grew up watching him and many other b/w musical films. Loved them and he was so talented. It was weird to see him later in life in a colour film; not a musical - I think it was called something like Towering Inferno. Several other screen icons in that film. 😍😍😎

One of those classics that is so fundamental to musical culture you forget it's rambunctious spirit and innovation. Like a food that you eat every day so you dub it bland, but it's the fact you were so enamored by it's distinctiveness that it became regular and what's outside what you eat became the "exotic things that have variety."
Finally after 15 years of not understanding why I couldn’t get the timing of the first verse of this song. All the other verses; fine, perfect. First verse, trip and crash 100% consistently. I slowed it down to 75% and sang along concentrating to see what I was going wrong ...I was putting in an extra word...
I love Fred's singing. By all accounts he was a very good and kind person, and that's what I hear through his voice. Actually, watching all the old Fred & Ginger films is how I'm getting through these times.
now this is what a gangster actually looks like, a gentleman with class dressed fashionably with such a cool tune & dance to go with it. 🫶🏻 - this song was published in 1929 & it’s currently 2023, almost 100 years later as I’m still listening to this. Incredible!
...I grew up with two of my paternal aunts (both Dominican sisters from the Caldwell, NJ motherhouse) visiting every summer for two weeks and I got to watch afternoon TV with them (something forbidden otherwise)...one loved these Fred & Ginger movies and the other loved the 30s & 40s Limey murder mysteries Film Noir...I had a wonderful, rich childhood, compared to many of my contemporaries...I'm 74 - 75 in 5 months...

Блестяще!Столько элегантности и шика!Он выглядит как настоящий аристократ.Но я знаю,каким трудом это даётся,талантом и трудом.Люблю все фильмы с Фондом Астером!
+Superblobby It'll be clearer if you watch it in full (here: vimeo.com/6971656 ) The jumping cane segments involve a floor trigger mechanism. And the chorus of nine Fred Astaires was achieved by filming two separate versions of Astaire, repeating them four times and interleaving them. Not bad effects for 1946 but absolutely; all credit to Fred for devising and rehearsing this to perfection (took five weeks of, to use his own words, back-breaking physical work).
Effects? You mean the slow motion? I think he actually did that himself. The multiplying of his image? Well, alright, I guess you can call that an effect but it probably wasn't such a big deal, they did similar things in earlier days of cinema. The main credit has to go to the performer.
Firstly, not that it matters, but as a young girl growing up in NYC in the 1970's - sexually abused from age 5-12, addicted to heroin from age 14... Fred Astaire was my respite. Spent my allowance going to 80th St. Marks, The Regency, Thalia, and New Yorker Theatres to watch black & white movies in the shadowed safety of those once magnificent crumbling movie houses. I once had the pleasure of watching The NYC Ballet (when George Ballenchine was still choreographer) do honour to Astaire in a performance dedicated to him. The NY Freakin' Ballet honouring a tap dancer !!! Of course he was much more. Song writers such as the Gershwins, Cole Porter...wrote songs specifically for him to sing. He was a humble man who thought his singing voice terrible and such a perfectionist in his dance that he refused to watch his films because he could always see flaws... Too bad everyone these days seems to think so damn much of themselves without putting in an once of sweat, blood or tears for their "art". However their is a new generation of tap dancers out there. All over the world, using clips from The Nicholas Brothers to Mr. Astaire to find inspiration - and these men & women do them proud. Blessings for the Bill Robinsons...of our recent past and the kids keeping this American art form alive by sweating and blistering and bleeding for their art. Yet Astaire will always be the master of elegance. Peace & chicken grease Y'all...
Amazing. Fred Astaire makes his dancing look so effortless, like he's floating across the stage.
..floating like a butterfly, but without the stinging like a bee.
@MrSting17 Oh, Muhammed Ali has the moral copy right for that! Any other is a fraud. ;)

It resonates with the coming economic collapse and fractionation of classes.

"If you're blue and you don't know where to go to, why not go where Harlem sits...Puttin' On The RItz."
Thank you...I just wrote in the comments section that these aren't the original words to this song.
All those special effects were done long before computers.
Or y'know, choreography
+Superblobby It'll be clearer if you watch it in full (here: vimeo.com/6971656 ) The jumping cane segments involve a floor trigger mechanism. And the chorus of nine Fred Astaires was achieved by filming two separate versions of Astaire, repeating them four times and interleaving them. Not bad effects for 1946 but absolutely; all credit to Fred for devising and rehearsing this to perfection (took five weeks of, to use his own words, back-breaking physical work).
MerleOberon what special effects?
Effects? You mean the slow motion? I think he actually did that himself.
The multiplying of his image? Well, alright, I guess you can call that an effect but it probably wasn't such a big deal, they did similar things in earlier days of cinema.
The main credit has to go to the performer.
@@youcanlearnalotfromlydia A spring mechanism? I thought they just ran the footage of him dropping it in reverse, but I couldn't find the cut.
Fred’s timing is unbelievably precise.
Still relevant and great in 2021

💧💎Sapphire Subliminals💎💧 idk too
I was hoping to see the actual full performance but this is pretty solid. He's amazing.
Firstly, not that it matters, but as a young girl growing up in NYC in the 1970's - sexually abused from age 5-12, addicted to heroin from age 14... Fred Astaire was my respite. Spent my allowance going to 80th St. Marks, The Regency, Thalia, and New Yorker Theatres to watch black & white movies in the shadowed safety of those once magnificent crumbling movie houses. I once had the pleasure of watching The NYC Ballet (when George Ballenchine was still choreographer) do honour to Astaire in a performance dedicated to him. The NY Freakin' Ballet honouring a tap dancer !!! Of course he was much more. Song writers such as
the Gershwins, Cole Porter...wrote songs specifically for him to sing. He was a humble man who thought his singing voice terrible and such a perfectionist in his dance that he refused to watch his films because he could always see flaws... Too bad everyone these days seems to think so damn much of themselves without putting in an once of sweat, blood or tears for their "art". However their is a new generation of tap dancers out there. All over the world, using clips from The Nicholas Brothers to Mr. Astaire to find inspiration - and these men & women do them proud. Blessings for the Bill Robinsons...of our recent past and the kids keeping this American art form alive by sweating and blistering and bleeding for their art. Yet Astaire will always be the master of elegance. Peace & chicken grease Y'all...
About a week ago I saw my gf doing this dance as part of a drama show and Jesus Christ did it make me love her more
I can see how Michael Jackson learned his moves!
this guy would be too talented to make it in 2021...........................
Plain and simple: that man could dance his ass off
