Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers - Top Hat Shall We Dance
Review by Merlin Cafarella
The album Top Hat Shall We Dance by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers is a timeless classic that showcases the duo's exceptional talent and chemistry. The album features 14 tracks, including iconic numbers like "Cheek to Cheek" and "Top Hat, White Tie, and Tails," which have become synonymous with the golden age of Hollywood musicals.
Astaire's smooth vocals and impeccable footwork are on full display throughout the album, while Rogers' elegant voice and graceful movements complement him perfectly. The album is a perfect showcase of their partnership, which has become legendary in the world of dance and entertainment.
The arrangements on the album are also worth a mention, as they perfectly capture the spirit of the era and add to the overall charm of the record. Whether it's the upbeat tempo of "Isn't This a Lovely Day" or the slower, more romantic "The Piccolino," the music sets the perfect tone for the duo's performances.
