Do People Ever Dance or Sing Like This Anymore? Anywhere?

First, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in Top Hat.If you're in a hurry, skip the first two minutes, that's the singing- the dancing starts at 2 minutes. If you watch to the very end, you'll be amazed at how relaxed they are as they lean against the balcony when they glide to a close.



Then, oh my, The Platters singing "Only You" and if I can find it, "Twilight Time"- there aren't any perfect versions available- don't mind the non-synching, just get the gist of it.



The following doesn't really belong in this post as an exceptional style in and of itself. But I do remember the days, the sweet feelings, the magic of Neil Young. If only I could find him singing the original Harvest Moon.
