“Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off,” Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, 1937. From the legendary Warner Brothers movie, “Shall We Dance?” Combine those two with George and Ira Gershwin – and you have pure magic. Richard Rodgers had this to say about them in his seamless autobiography, Musical Stages: “Fred Astaire was an unqualified genius; he was a Mozart with feet. And believe me, Ginger Rogers was great. She contributed her full fifty percent in making them such a great team. She could follow Fred as if one brain was thinking. She blended with his every step and mood immaculately. Fred was able to do dances on screen that would have been impossible to risk if he hadnt had a partner like Ginger - as skillful as she was attractive.”
