Ya Guessed it, both recordings!! Fred first and then Ginger's recording second (please note the original orchestration after Fred finishes singing is not included)
As you can see Fred's is off the soundtrack, Ginger's recording can be found on 'Screen Goddesses'
Ginger recorded 'Cheek to Cheek' and the other numbers from Top Hat (not inc the title song) for Decca in 1935, she included in the 'deal' that if she didn't like them then they should be destroyed, however she forgot to include that the recordings should be returned to her to destroy personally and when she didn't like the recordings and told Decca so they shipped them to England and released them under another label. much as this annoyed Ginger it does mean that we can still listen to her recordings today :)

Utterly sublime. Ginger is so perfect, the way she finishes moves, bobs her shoulders so perfectly mirror Fred or just dot the 'i's and cross the 't's of his movement. A perfect combo. I remember reading that Irving Berlin thought Fred was the best singer of his songs. Perfectly understandable since, whilst his voice might not be perfect, his timing when singing is as immaculate as when dancing, so he really gives meaning to even the most trivial lyric he sings.

@ccaammiinniiito2 5 жыл бұрын

@Rob...Fred, along with Dooley Wilson, Walter Huston, Jimmy Durante, Martha Raye, Stubby Kaye, even The Merm, weren't so much singers as they were stylists. As stylist doesn't appear on the pop list. No, they were of a different style. Take Walter Huston's "September song," a perfect counterweight to Dooley Wilson's ''As time goes by," both memorable stylists. Rob, I'd like to say more, but I hope you see at least part of what i'm trying to say as to singer v stylists.

@elainechubb971 2 жыл бұрын

I read that too about how Berlin called Fred the best singer of his songs--because he sang the songs the way they were written. I have several old LPs of Fred singing, mostly songs from his movies (including the ones Ginger sang), and love them dearly.

Fred was a good actor which gets forgotten because of his amazing dancing.

But I don't enjoy it half as much As dancing cheek to cheek. Dance with me! I want my arms about you. The charms about you Will carry me through to... Heaven...

She had a beautiful singing voice but we seldom hear it.

Ginger had issues, to say the least. Its why men never stuck around in her life for very long. In later interviews she grew prickly because people referred to the films as "Astaire-Rogers pictures" as opposed to "Rogers-Astaire pictures." Truth is, she never collaborated with Fred or Hermes Pan when they both would try and choreograph the dances. All she really cared about was what dress she wore and learning the steps. Its rather incredible that she believed HER name should come first.

This is the one they had to redo all day long because when they DID get good take Fred Astaire's wig flew off. Ginger Rogers designed that dress...so amazing.

R. Nagarya cool facts! Never knew it was a wig...just knew he was a perfectionist! Great designing!

I don't think it was a full wig--just a toupee.

@Elise B it was the feathers that Fred had the problem with because they weren't attached properly, the dress itself was a dream to dance in as can be seen!

katandbabyI can imagine it was probably shedding a lot. It definitely looked good, at least on film. It doesn't seem like her legs are moving at all, kind of "ethereal" . She seems so elegant and reserved too, just her expressions. Not to downplay Fred Astaire, of course, amazing showman.

She was very fussy about her dresses, and ease of movement in them was as important as the glamour.

A marvel. Gives a whole new meaning to 'elegance'. Thank you so much for sharing this for us.

Amazing to think that our culture actually had its peak 77 years ago when the public preferred this more artistic portrayal of what it means to fall in love.. An expression of movement and music so much more intricate than anything represented in popular culture today. Heres hoping our society can once again reach such eloquence of expression through movement within our lifetimes.

OMG - this is the music (and dancing) of my courtship. We were married, my husband and I, until his (premature) death and I cannot see any of the music produced nowadays underscoring our sort of courtship or romance. I don't know what sort of world kids are living in nowadays. I'm sorry for them.

Don't feel sorry for them. Youth makes everything good. To them they are happy and they feel sorry for us/you /me.
