Our Take
Our Take
Step aside, Beyoncé, there's a new triple threat in town, and his name is Fred Astaire. The Absolutely Essential 3 CD Collection is a delightful journey through the legendary crooner's greatest hits, showcasing his velvet voice and smooth moves in all its glory.
From the iconic "Cheek to Cheek" to the toe-tapping "Puttin' On the Ritz," Astaire's charm and charisma shine through on every track. The lush orchestral arrangements and jazzy tunes transport you back to a bygone era of glamour and sophistication.
But it's not all glitz and glamour with Astaire - he also knows how to tug at your heartstrings with poignant ballads like "A Fine Romance" and "Night and Day." His ability to convey emotion through his voice is truly a gift, and one that sets him apart from his contemporaries.
While some may argue that Astaire's music is too dated for modern ears, I beg to differ. His timeless classics have stood the test of time, and continue to inspire generations of musicians and dancers alike. So slip on your dancing shoes, grab a cocktail, and let Fred Astaire sweep you off your feet with this essential collection. You won't be disappointed.

About the artist
Fred Astaire
Ah, the one and only Fred Astaire. The man who glided across the silver screen with the grace of a swan and the charm of a true Hollywood legend. Known for his impeccable footwork, smooth vocals, and effortless style, Astaire left an indelible mark on the world of entertainment. Born in 1899 in Omaha, Nebraska, Astaire's career spanned over seven decades, making him one of the most prolific performers of his time. He first rose to fame in the 1930s as one half of the iconic dance duo with Ginger Rogers, dazzling audiences with their on-screen chemistry and captivating routines. But Astaire was more than just a dancer. He also had a remarkable singing voice, with hits like "Cheek to Cheek" and "Puttin' On the Ritz" showcasing his vocal talents. His smooth crooning combined with his effortless dancing made him a true triple threat in every sense of the word. Despite his legendary status, Astaire remained humble and down-to-earth throughout his career. He never let fame get to his head, always staying true to his roots and his love for performing. His influence can still be felt in the world of dance and music today, with artists across genres citing him as a major inspiration. Fred Astaire was and always will be a true icon of the Golden Age of Hollywood. His legacy lives on through his timeless performances and his enduring influence on the world of entertainment. Fred, we'll always remember you as the man who danced his way into our hearts and left us wanting more.
