Whoever put this together has a great sense of humor and a fascinating sense of quality. This video shows how great Fred Astaire, Rita Hayworth, and Led Zeppelin all were. Bravo
Don't only praise the editing, praise the Fantastic talent of Mr. Fred Astaire and Miss Rita Hayworth. Remember, she did everything backwards and in heels.
@@blackolantern5666 Was just waiting for someone to go negative...had to bring it up, didn't you? Not enough to enjoy some classy talent, had to talk about stuff that isn't even dancing.
Never thought that I'd hear Led Zeppelin, Fred Astaire, and Rita Hayworth in the same sentence, much less the same video. Gosh, this was wonderful!! The editing was flawless. I smiled the entire time and I thank you SO much for this. Fabulous.
Usually, musical combinations like this do not always work as well as this did. But this was superb. I was wondering what Fred Astaire would have thought of the whole thing and have decided he would have - pardon - gotten a real kick out of it. It's not like he was totally against rock music. He went to go see an Alice Cooper show with Groucho - who was a close friend of Groucho. And being a really good drummer, himself how could he help but like Bonzo.
Led Zeppelin 1 came out the same year I dropped Acid for the first time in 1969. I'm 68 now. I was 13 then and that was the first album I ever bought. I used money from my paper route to buy it. That was my first trip to downtown Long Beach, CA by bus by myself to buy the album. So many times tripping in my bedroom listening to it. It was fifteen years later I got to meet Plant backstage at a Donovan concert at the Santa Monica Civic. He was in a wheelchair from a car accident and asked me to push him around. The rest of the band was in the audience. I was a production assistant for Fun Productions that put on the show in 1976(?) and this song was a part of that show. Kudos to the producer of this video! I've done a few like this many years ago in the early days of youtube and it isn't easy.
I had tickets to see them in Atlanta when they had to cancel because of that accident! I was heartbroken! I should have kept the tickets but I had to return them and get my $11 (!!!) back cause I was also broke! Never got another chance to see the band but saw Plant many times and Page a couple of times, playing with other acts. And saw Jason Bonham's Zeppelin tribute in '22.
This is one of the best editing jobs I've ever seen. If whoever did this isn't a professional editor, he or she should be. Simply amazing how well it all matches up.
You are correct. Great. Fred was Amazing, his body Was always moving, his fingers, were dancing too. Fred did comment on Rita Hayworth, was terrific as partner. You can Definitely see it, Magnificent together!!!
I haven't watched one of these "old clips dancing to modern music" videos in a long time, & maybe I'm alone in this, but all the others I've watched in the past have been better. I was actually disappointed in the editing of the dance steps to the music. Also, the best one I've seen not only matched the video to the audio, but even matched the video to the lyrics!
This was absolutely superb. Did a great job of timing, dancing with the music and words matching the actions. This is one of the best ones I've seen and I absolutely love Led Zeppelin.
I LOVE THIS. I'm 77 so grew up watching old movies (Astaire musicals & Rita in various movies) on TV & in 70's loved Led Zep, still do 2day!!! And dang, but he's awesome an dancer.
This is wild. My mom was a professional dancer, had her own dance studio. She loved Led Zep and did these sorts of dances to them. How I wish I had video back in the day...
Whenever I watch Rita Hayworth dance she looks like she's having the time of her life. Truly one of a kind; the likes of which we'll probably never see again.
THAT is AMAZING! I have been listening to Led Zeppelin ever since the release of their very first album yet that totally caught me by surprise. Congratulations and thank you to whoever put that together. And, yep, I just found out how special Rita Hayworth was.
There are more precise dancers than Rita Hayworth but none had her sheer vitality and beauty. Sometimes there are human beings that have a magical quality. She had it. How sad that life and men treated her so unkindly. Damaged her self worth and health. But her daughter sheltered cherished and cared for her through her illness until the end of her life which showed what a warm caring and loving parent she must have been.
I live now in a Village, 6 kms. of Seville (Spain), named Castilleja de la Cuesta, were was born Eduardo Cansino, father of Rita Hayworth. Rita had spanish blood in her veins.
Seeing Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth dance to Led Zeppelin is absolutely amazing! What an amazing duo! Rita is one of the most talented and absolutely beautiful wooam that Hollywood has ever seen! 😍😍😍❤❤❤
Astaire was once asked who his best dance partner was and famously replied “Rita Hayworth” instead of Ginger Rogers as most might expect. Hayworth wasn’t necessarily famous for being a dancer but her parents were professionals and she grew up in a dance studio so certainly had the background and chops to earn Astaire’s praise. Great video and editing.
It just goes to show how while music may change over the years, dancing doesn't really change as much as you might think. Our parents and grandparents were making the same moves, just to a different beat.
Never liked Fred Astaire. Thought all those old dance cheesy musicals were rubbish. But Wow! I have never ever ever done such an about-face in my life! Absolutely stupendous! What an absolute mindblower!
Our parents and grandparents were BETTER dancers than we are. They were dancing generations, and their music was made to dance to. I'm 64 and remember the old timers "cutting the rug" at family weddings etc... They were just better dancers than us.
I dunno... There may be some similar steps, just as there are similar chords and progressions in music through the ages. But just as with the changes in music, the overall effect and feel of this kind of dance is radically different from today's.
This is one of those TH-cam treasures that I got to see when it was still under 200k views. It's enough to influence people who have never heard of Fred Astaire or Led Zeppelin to get up and shake a leg.
@@r.p.mcmurphy6623 Those of us who dance like donkeys mixed with elephant don't always pick up on these things right away...BTW, isn't this the best music video ever?
@@jennifersman7990 well yeah....her father was a professional dancer, she took dance lessons from the age of three and performed with him on stage when she was 16. She was a dancer..... that took up acting after a while!
This is exceptionally well done - the beats actually match up. Fred&Rita's embellishments and breaks match up with breaks in the song - same dancing-alone-army guy! Its given me a whole new appreciation for their dancing.
Real love for Led Zeppelin for mostly all my life , never would I thought to see these movie classic & these classic Rock & Roll together, absolutely amazing 👏. Whoever paired these up did an outstanding job.
@cindykrista I was brought up with live music but if you are talking about playing Led Zeppelin at a ballroom dancing tournament I get it, because you would not do that, but people were dancing on their seats at Led Zeppelin's concert of the century at the O2 Arena in London on the 10th of December 2007, it requires imagination and a bit of flare but if you have no ability to be able to move your feet and body rhythmically to the beat of music in any form better you remain a wall flower then Mick Jagger would also tell you that 🌻🌷🙋
this one's fred and rita - but far more often it was fred and ginger - ginger rogers was the one the quote was about. 'why is ginger rogers a way better dancer than fred astaire?'
That was bad ass!!! Loved seeing them dancing to Led Zepplin, my FAVORITE band of all time!!! 😃😊 tired of seeing dancers doing Michael Jackson moonwalk all the time. This old time musicals stuff was awesome!!! , more, please!!
@@alemgas Michael Jackson was also good friends with Fred Astaire and created Smooth Criminal as an homage to him. My point is that MJ worked in and extended the Astaire tradition (with some James Brown thrown in for seasoning).
Почему-то всегда думал, Led Zeppelin это что-то тяжёлое и не слушал никогда, хотя возможность была. Как жаль... Зато сейчас можно поизучать что-то новое - это большой плюс. Rock-'n'-roll forever!!! ♾️
Great job! Rita Hayworth was so talented and absolutely beautiful. I was never a big fan of Fred Astaire's acting but he definitely was an amazing dancer. These two meshed perfectly together.
Master class in dance. Fred Astair was so precise and limber yet he never looked like he was working. He looked so serene dancing away in intricate steps that had taken him hundreds of hours to memorize yet he looked like he just dropped in and did it as if he was just breathing.
Astair's physical grace was unmatched. It required a tremendous amount of athletic ability and self-control. He started his professional dance career with his sister, Adele, in the early 1900s in vaudeville. He became a favorite singer of tin-pan alley composers because he knew how to sing phrases so that the words meant something.
Random observation: has anyone noticed just how POLITE these two are to each other? Most movies these days have the characters acting like total jerks to each other, but Fred manages to actually be a *gentleman* while correcting someone, and Rita reciprocates. It takes a rare kind of charisma, from both of them, to make being nice look that good, without the audience calling them boring.
Watching this makes me realize how much classier and attractive the old timers are. No tattoos, bras hanging out, pierced noses. Sometimes not performing half undressed is sexier
Now I see where Robert got his moves. Whoever did this was spot on genius. I was skeptical, at first, but it could not have worked out better. Well done
This is without question one of the COOLEST videos I've ever seen on TH-cam! The synchronization and editing are superb! I'm certain Fred and Rita would have been totally impressed (as well as Led Zeppelin!) BRAVO!👍
Actually Well Done doesn’t do justice to this amazing edit. Whoever did this is a true artist in my book. The work it must been…bet it was a labor of love. This has made my morning!
What a brilliant combination of two very unlikely entities. The almost superhuman dancing of Fred Astaire and the enduring power of Robert Plant and Led Zeppelin. If this doesn't make you smile then I feel sorry for you. An incredible pairing and the creative minds @ Retro Video both deserve a Standing Ovation!!!
Приветствую , Вас! Согласен с Вами! Мне тоже понравился барабанщик - эффектно начал! Мне нравятся барабаны , хоть сам я играю на гитаре и по классу труба с отличием заканчивал музыкальную школу!!! Сам я до сих пор слушаю Лед Зеппелин , Дип Перпл и Роллинг Стоунс!!!

In 1978, a girlfriend criticized my love of Led Zeppelin. She said, "In ten years, you'll still be listening to Led Zeppelin." How about 42 years?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 👍
The same
😆😂
About 25 years ago I went to a Victorian music hall singalong dinner. I remarked that in a hundred years we’d be singing along to AC/DC...
Can’t think of how Led Zeppelin would become passé. Especially with the garbage passing for music in 2022.
Rita Hayworth just down right beautiful.
And talented. And those legs went on forever.
One of the hottest women ever.
No one like her👍
She knew how to move that beautiful body. Her face is timeless beauty. I'm in love!!
Gorgeous!
Orson Welles was a lucky man, for several years!
My grandparents introduced me to Fred and Rita. My parents introduced me Led Zeppelin. This mash up is incredible!
Didn't anyone introduce you to The Three Stooges?
"Wipeout" by the Stooges is Great too!!!!
Hayworth is one of the all-time beauties. She would look fabulous in any era.
Amen, brother!
For sure, natural beauty is always best. Now a days these biddys are so full of plastic....
Absolutely! Thank you!
Who said u cant dance to ZEPPELIN
@@johngaribaldi2500 Fred and Rita could dance to anything John! 👍👍🕺💃

Yep, hate to admit it but this is awesome.
Don't only praise the editing, praise the Fantastic talent of Mr. Fred Astaire and Miss Rita Hayworth. Remember, she did everything backwards and in heels.
It was Ginger Rogers who made the statement.
Backwards? Please explain
However that particular quote was made by Miss Ginger Rogers, Fred's longtime dance partner
Everything!?
True. Funny how women have to dance and we take if for granted.
Rita was just liquid gold - feminine, confident and talented.
@Stephen Carpenteri. Could you imagine the reaction of Fred if she started twerking??😆 Boy how times have changed so much.
Can't improve on Perfection..First class.

IknowRight!!!
Found this by accident. You're right. Plus I never knew Rita Hayworth was such a great dancer. I'm lovin' it . Ooooh yeah. Ooooh yeah.
Couldn't have said it better myself.

I'm sure the acid was way stronger than in the 80s? Did partake in some window pane and purple microdot. Wild times.
Was at a Bad Company concert in L.A. that year and he was brought on stage to sing. I think it was at the Forum and we went wild.
You are lucky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ит' с лайкед😅!

Totally agreed!!!!

I don't know who put this together, but just one word ," brilliant. "
Going to admit I only watched to see Rita Hayworth. In my opinion the most beautiful actress ever
I LOVE THIS. I'm 77 so grew up watching old movies (Astaire musicals & Rita in various movies) on TV & in 70's loved Led Zep, still do 2day!!!
And dang, but he's awesome an dancer.
He actually said Rita was his favorite partner because she could keep up with him.
Astaire’s and Hayworth timing to this modern LED Zeppelin number is perfect, thanks to whoever matched the timing to the dance.
This is wild. My mom was a professional dancer, had her own dance studio. She loved Led Zep and did these sorts of dances to them. How I wish I had video back in the day...
I wish you had, too. I would have love to have seen her dance.
HOW COOL!!!
MY MUM likes ABBA 😔
Hey.....why not !
me and your Mom would have got on
Rita was Fred's favorite dancing partner. Maybe not technically the best of them, but she comes across so effortless. They're great together.
she could pick up a complicated routine faster than anyone else and was adorable doing it

But her daughter sheltered cherished and cared for her through her illness until the end of her life which showed what a warm caring and loving parent she must have been.
She steals the spotlight from Fred Astaire at the first dance. I don't think other of his dance couples have achieved the same thing.
I live now in a Village, 6 kms. of Seville (Spain), named Castilleja de la Cuesta, were was born Eduardo Cansino, father of Rita Hayworth. Rita had spanish blood in her veins.
She was an excellent dancer and danced professionally at a young age. In an interview, Fred Astaire called her his favorite partner.
OMG, it is perfect! Rita Hayworth, arguably one of the top 10 most beautiful women ever and Fred Astaire is divine as always.
Drop dead gorgeous

I thought I heard a review of an audition of Astaire was something like "...Can't sing. Can't act. Balding. Can dance a little...". So... yeah...
I heard he had said Joan Leslie. Also not known for dancing but was quite a little hoofer, apparently.
Oh I don't know, I still think Fred 'n Ginger were the best dancers on the planet in their day.
My Uncle - who is now 91 - toured with Ginger Rogers - I don't think she could touch Rita - in looks style, moves or pure HEAT ...
she was performing professionally as her father's dance partner by 12.
This is stunning. Who'd have thought. Fred and Rita. Rock 'n roll before their time! Kudos the editor.
but there are not taps to hear - makes no sense - should sound like th-cam.com/video/g170UfckI4E/w-d-xo.html - not covered up by music
A little Led Zeppelin always makes everything better
Rita and Fred agree that Bonham's groove SWINGS HARD.
It just goes to show how while music may change over the years, dancing doesn't really change as much as you might think. Our parents and grandparents were making the same moves, just to a different beat.

You're absolutely right - it's all int the beat/ accent.

I just new this would come together one day, thanks.
Notice the rythyms to the music. One of the best videos to Led Zeppelin that I have ever seen 👏
Just class Fred a genius, Rita just beautiful. All beautiful
And who says you can't dance to Led Zeppelin? That was great!
I never heard anyone say you can't dance to Led Zeppelin...ever.

To quote Marty Mc Fly to people in the 1940s not being ready for Led Zeppelin, Your kids are gonna love it
Never thought I would see such a mix. Kudos, to the person, persons that put this clip together.
Best comment I ever heard about Rita Hayworth and Fred Astaire was that she did the same thing he was doing, backwards, in high heals.
this one's fred and rita - but far more often it was fred and ginger - ginger rogers was the one the quote was about.
'why is ginger rogers a way better dancer than fred astaire?'
Actually, that feminist expression was about Ginger Rogers, not Hayworth. But it's the same idea, and I love it, too. :-D
Of course, if you actually watch the movies, the person dancing backwards most often was Fred. But who cares about reality.
I think that was Ginger Rogers who was rated as his best partner. I luv Rita too.
That was bad ass!!! Loved seeing them dancing to Led Zepplin, my FAVORITE band of all time!!! 😃😊

Just awesome! The editing was tremendous! Astaire was simply the best, and Rita was just stunning. And that Led Zeppelin group might pan out too! Lol

@@Berkcam He's also superb in "On The Beach" and "The Towering Inferno"!

something about the downsliding of culture...a few minutes of reflection explains it all...
Modern problems lol
Back then they depended on acting skills not special effects.
Mansplaining wasn't part of the cultural zeitgest back then.
What an observation!
Whoever put this together is a genius
Rita has legs up to here. That lady and time was glamorous. Imagination us a wonderful thing.
Love it. Rita Hayworth was a doll!
Wow! This is the variation on a theme I’ve been waiting for! Brilliant!
Before my time, never realized just how beautiful she was and a great dancer too
We need more of this. As good as going to Griffith park and watching the Lazer show to zep.
Watching this makes me realize how much classier and attractive the old timers are. No tattoos, bras hanging out, pierced noses. Sometimes not performing half undressed is sexier
Women didn't have penises back then either.
Now I see where Robert got his moves. Whoever did this was spot on genius. I was skeptical, at first, but it could not have worked out better. Well done
Rita danced in high heels 👠
Not only that but she danced with her entire body!
She was so very
beautiful.😍 ❤☮️
This is without question one of the COOLEST videos I've ever seen on TH-cam! The synchronization and editing are superb!
I'm certain Fred and Rita would have been totally impressed (as well as Led Zeppelin!) BRAVO!👍
Oh I couldn't agree more. They will laugh and appreciate each other in the hereafter, I am sure Jesus loves this and Holy Spirit choreographed.
Actually Well Done doesn’t do justice to this amazing edit. Whoever did this is a true artist in my book. The work it must been…bet it was a labor of love. This has made my morning!
What a brilliant combination of two very unlikely entities. The almost superhuman dancing of Fred Astaire and the enduring power of Robert Plant and Led Zeppelin. If this doesn't make you smile then I feel sorry for you. An incredible pairing and the creative minds @ Retro Video both deserve a Standing Ovation!!!
So true
You forgot Rita Hayworth, you big dope....
@milt Rita had to everything in reverse. I think that's mind-boggling. That's very athletic!!!!
@@danielguadian2716 Oops! Not intentionally, I assure you. Thank you for setting me straight.
Rock ❤ Roll 😂
I can't stop watching this.
BRAVO! One of the greatest rock bands in history and two legends from the big screen matched to perfection. Absolutely enjoyed this. THANK YOU!!!!
Editors, a cut above the rest. Another banger, @RetroVideo! Well done.
It doesn't get any better than this. My love for music and old movies. Great editing job on this! Every step on every beat. Well done!!!!!

Ta hon. Now get off my music. Okay?, 🎼🎶🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇💖💖💖💖💖🦊
Amazing how the song and the dancers blend so well. Who would have thought.
In the late 80's, I was dancing to these songs from 11 pm to 5 am non stop, occasionally stop for beer♥️
Very cool, they were awesome! But my favorite part was the beginning where the guy is beating on the drum 🤣
Приветствую , Вас! Согласен с Вами! Мне тоже понравился барабанщик - эффектно начал! Мне нравятся барабаны , хоть сам я играю на гитаре и по классу труба с отличием заканчивал музыкальную школу!!! Сам я до сих пор слушаю Лед Зеппелин , Дип Перпл и Роллинг Стоунс!!!
Brilliant. Also really makes you realize how precise was Astaire’s sense of rhythm 🥁 !
