Today is the 122nd birthday of Fred Astaire. Naming his best work is pointless, it is all flawless. Naming one of my favorite pieces is easy, I absolutely love the “Clap Your Hands” piece from Funny Face he performs with Kay Thompson (included below). Absolutely brilliant. The world is a better place because he was in it and still feels the loss that he has left.
