For older guys

my father loved Perry...

Yet again we discover that 'artistry' isn't limited nor constrained to the present, although 'classical' music from the past is generally worshiped...

Como, Crosby, Martin, et all...they were the 'top of the pops' in their era.  My parents loved them, and they can still be appreciated in that context.

I always liked the Andrews sisters and their style, which later I admired again as a fan of the Roches.  And what's old can be new, yet again...*S*

It's not my 'daily fare', either....but I can listen and appreciate the more 'popular' selections of the era, putting myself into the context of 'when'.

When men fought and died in foreign lands, listening to that...what they danced to, made love with, worked to, played to....

Later, they came home and put their lives together and created us.

We have no right to sneer.  But we can stop, think, and try to appreciate.
And really, it's hard to do Astaire 'moves' to hiphop or EDM....;)

Dean Martin hit.."Baby It's Cold Outside"...classic!

Wonderful post, asvjerry, hit several nails right on the head.
I once heard Cole Porter say Astaire was the best singer of his songs .
Said. "Fred Astaire does what he does better than anyone else does what they do " .

Dean Martin hit.."Baby It's Cold Outside"...classic!
