Fred Astaire was the early paragon of cool, both in his graceful dancing and his plain-spoken but subtle singing. Granted, he certainly benefited from his material -- which include many of Gershwin's greatest -- but he sounded like no one else, not even Bing Crosby, and he influenced countless vocalists after him. (Mel Tormé did the best tribute on Sings Fred Astaire.) The Pearl Flapper compilation The Cream of Fred Astaire focuses on his career peak in the '30s, including all of his best early performances, along with rarities like the early "We Saw the Sea" and a few songs recorded with his early dancing partner (and sister), Adele Astaire. The parade of classics is daunting -- "Puttin' on the Ritz," "The Way You Look Tonight," "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off," "Night and Day," "Top Hat, White Tie and Tails," "Let's Face the Music and Dance," "They All Laughed," "Cheek to Cheek" -- but they make for effortlessly enjoyable listening. ~ John Bush, Rovi Read Less
