>Hello Friends - Russell Davies & I are scratching our heads trying to recall as many classic songs of the '30s and '40s that mention Fred Astaire as possible - i.e. as in the Cole Porter 'You're The Top'  manner ("you're the nimble tread of the feet of Fred Astaire"). If you can think of any and are happy to help, please advise!
