"All of me" - wie oft habe ich das schon gesungen und gespielt, immer noch verwurzelt in der wunderbaren Swing-Tradition, die meine musikalischen Eltern (es hätten die beiden unten sein können) mir weitergaben. Hier die Schluss-Szene aus dem Musical "Silk Stockings" von 1957. Enjoy. "Step back into 1957, the year that quietly closed the golden era of Hollywood musicals. Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse—two icons whose elegance shaped an entire generation of film dance—performed their final musical together in “Silk Stockings.” What makes this moment so unforgettable? This wasn’t just choreography… It was a farewell to a genre, a final bow to decades of artistry, and a dance that blended their signature styles: ✨ Astaire’s effortless charm ✨ Charisse’s breathtaking balletic lines ✨ A space that became part of the choreography itself In this short clip, you’re witnessing not only a beautifully crafted pas de deux, but also the closing chapter of classic Hollywood dance tradition. A moment that reminds us of a time when musicals didn’t just entertain—they defined cinema."
