One of the few versions of Berlin's hit that is true in tempo and tone to the intent of the original. "Puttin' on the Ritz" is one of the most innovative popular songs ever written -- and it was written by the same composer who gave us "White Christmas." Those two songs represent a range and virtuosity that few other song writers possess.

This is beautiful for more than one reason. First, Tommy Tune was amazing and second, but not secondary, there are 8 African American dancers in white tie and tails dancing brilliantly with him. They say that Bill Robinson wanted to dance in white tie and tails but was forbidden to do so for many years. He was told that audiences wouldn't accept a "colored" performer dressed that way. Where ever Mr Robinson was when this was filmed, he must have been smiling. He was the first to win that battle.

Tommy Tune nails it and Mr Berlin must have thoroughly enjoyed this premium performance. Tommy Tune is America’s Sweetheart. Who doesn’t appreciate tap? Bravo and kudos. I’m mesmerized. And Mr Tune summed it up perfectly after his precision performance. I just finished his memoir and I got the feeling he has extraordinary humility and never thought he was as superlative as most of us. It was poignant. He had two great lives and someone remaining a personal story. Yet he still looks for love. He’s just one of a kind.

I saw Tommy Tune and Sandy Duncan in "My One and Only" in the California Theater, in the mid-1980s. That was my introduction to tap in live musicals, and I've loved it ever since. This is the archetype of the art form. He is absolutely the best, ever!
