1920's - 1950's music (and even a little bit of the early/mid 1960's):
I shall try to post often (and at times, reblog) some of my favourite songs in celebration of classic crooners, songbirds, swing/jazz as well as the big band generation!

I hope you enjoy.

A Fine Romance: Part I: THE SONG

“A Fine Romance” with music by Jerome Kern and lyrics by Dorothy Fields was written for the film Swing Time in 1936. It’s a funny, almost sarcastic little song in which Ginger bemoans Fred’s persistence in avoiding any romantic ties to her, and then Fred echoes her when he’s ready to start a romance but she turns on the great freeze. Basically, it’s what every Fred and Ginger fan feels about the fact that they NEVER KISS, as in REALLY kiss, until, I think, Carefree, which is their EIGHTH movie together. I mean, really. A fine romance indeed. Enjoy!
