She was always so vivacious & beautiful, full of joy, you could see. This video reminded me so much of my mother’s long ago album( miss my mom so much!) and wish I had held onto it.

She's the most beautiful woman that ever existed. When God thought of beauty and elegance, he didn't hesitate and said, 'Let there be Rita Hayworth'.

When Jackie Wilson sang, "...and, with my lovin' arms around you..." and Fred and Rita threw their arms around each other, I flipped out. So perfect! Wow! This dance sequence goes so well with so many upbeat numbers. It's so great to watch over and over. Sadly, that world, that talent, that entertainment is long gone.

It was pretty common in this golden era of movies 1930s/40s for actors to have all the skills. Joan Crawford, James Cagney, Lauren Bacall, Mickey Rooney, (obviously) Judy Garland, Donald O'Conner and our own John Mills all started as 'song and dance' people. The contract system at the studios in those days made it almost impossible to refuse to do a movie the studio told you to do so the actors had to be prepared for dramatic, comedy or musicals. Interestingly, Ginger Rogers won her Academy Award for a dramatic role, not a dance movie, so it worked both ways.

Man; they could sing and dance back then! Fast forward to today...I wonder how many millions of people have even heard of "tap dancing"...so out of touch! I was born in the 50's and I lived through the greatest era of music - melodies, harmonies and just tons of talent! I don't think you can beat the 50's, 60's and 70's for what I refer to as "Real Music". I met a woman awhile ago, by the name of Diana and she invited me to her birthday party, which was today. I took my guitar with me and played "Diana" for her. In return, I received a big hug! Yesterday, I had my alto sax down at the beach and apparently, many people enjoyed it (I still consider myself to be a beginner). The point is; I'm doing my best to keep the music alive.

I love the greasy rotund Argentinian leading the band with nearly imperceptible hand movements - takes the cake. According to Hollywood folklore, a screen test report on Astaire for RKO Radio Pictures, now lost along with the test, is reported to have read: "Can't sing. Can't act. Balding. Can dance a little." I knew that Fred's name was a fiction and I'd assumed that was because of an overtly Jewish name But such was not the case. Astaire of course - sounds like - to the stars. He was of German /Lutheran extraction mainly. Oh, and I think he can dance. TE. Fidler NzL

This song and music fit so perfectly together

Absolute gold and vintage glory !

Such a joy in their dancing ! And in Jackie Wilson's voice ! Thank you

Two of Hollywood’s greats. RIP Fred & Rita.

You can see Rita is all-out & I believe Fred had to keep-up with her. She's Joyous dancing here. Beautiful. Smiling.

She looks as though this is the happiest she has ever been. Just having the time of her life. And just comes bursting out in her performance and in her smile.

Jackie had angels as backup singers. This is real music.

A joy to behold!

You won't see talent like this again Wow.❤

I read somewhere several years ago that Fred said, when asked who was his best dance partner, Rita Hayworth. (Her real surname is Cansino)

WOW !!!! I have heard about him but never saw him dancing. She is out of this world and he dances like a feather in the wind... Elegance and grace.. I have tears in my eyes...

Amazing song still sounds awesome today

Great Song!!! Takes me back!! To Cali4nia, Awesome 70,s. Great Video 👍!!!! I'm 69 still Rock n Roll!!!!

Fred and Rita were at the very top of the class when it came to cutting a rug!👍
