This guy had me leaping over armchairs with arms held high, as a child I sort of took him for granted, but now I look back and know what genius really means Take a look at this clip. First Fred Astaire's hands only, his considerable piano skills, (unless he has Scott Joplin hidden somewhere). Keeping 'in character' all the while, he gets up and begins conducting an orchestra whilst singing to Ginger Roberts. All the while its all choreographed, even the dialogue, Fred manages to turn around at exactly the right moment to invigorate the orchestra, then stare and sing at his wayward love doll. Springing off the stage, he proceeds to dominate the action again with his eloquence.... Wonderful stuff. Wonderful back catalogue, Thank you America! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CTR3d2Ly80

In Fred Astaire's later years he performed as a dramatic actor. His dramatic roles were just as good as his musicals.

To think that all this time I never knew he played the piano! Great find

That wasn't quite enough "Homage" for me....so, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_Wl83o9HTsYou see, my uncle (who was a "veritable" look-alike (double for Fred Astaire), was also a great dancer that had many of the Great One's "moves"...but certainly not the amazing "tapping prowess. I watched him, and of course Astaire's great moves with great envy. Everybody did! Now, at almost 81 I too have thrown caution to the wind and "cut a rug" on the dance floor here locally...with the local beauties. My specialty the young age of 81... is rapid ...jitterbugging or boogie woog-y-ing with the spins, twirls, twists and low-down-dirty boogie moves that amaze the assembled local "throngs"... "They All Laughed" lyrics certainly "prove a point" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTH9VwACh7o
