Astaire

"Fred Astaire
(b. May 10, 1899, Omaha, Neb.; d. June 22, 1987), the brilliant singer-dancer, began performing at age five in vaudeville with his sister, Adele; a favorite interpreter of many of the greatest Hollywood songwriters in the 1930s and 1940s, he was a composer himself."
Excerpt of "Johnny Mercer's Collaborators" from The Complete Lyrics of Johnny Mercer.
