Fred & Ginger: Cheek To Cheek, from 'Top Hat' Movie 1935

Music by Irving Berlin and Max Steiner.

CHEEK TO CHEEK

Heaven, I'm in Heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek

Heaven, I'm in Heaven
And the cares that hung around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek

Oh! I love to climb a mountain
And to reach the highest peak
But it doesn't thrill me half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek

Oh! I love to go out fishing
In a river or a creek
But I don't enjoy it half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek

Dance with me
I want my arm about you;
The charm about you
Will carry me through to Heaven

[Polly Hennessey]

1. Charming, heavenly, elegant.

There is something about the 30’s musicals that makes me smile.

2. They are so uplifting, what an antidote to stress

and worry, if temporary. Part of why they were so popular during the Great Depression 90 years ago. Here we are again.

3. Fred Astaire was my original crush as a little girl. I called him, Ted the sted.

4. Adorable. Adele, his sister was also a great dancer & entertainer.

She married in 1932 to an English aristo, so her showbiz partnership w Fred ended although they remained close for years.
