Rita Hayworth & Fred Astaire dance to Led Zeppelin
Nope, tried both my sources but all I can get are the videos of Led Zeppelin doing Rock and Roll, and the actual 1941 movie dance scene of Rita and Fred in You'll Never Get Rich. I always liked Led Zeppelin. I've told this story before. One day I was picking my son up at high school and was listening to LZ - my son came over to the car with his best friend, who said, "Wow, I wish MY dad liked LZ."
I was interested to see the writer's name 'Winter Johnny' in your previous comment. Made me think back to the time the albino Johnny Winter came over to my house when he had a gig in Toronto.
Nice editing job, eh?
Sweet! Of course I'm a fan of all involved... It reminded me of that show So You Think You Can Dance. I miss that show.
I was also a big fan of Led Zep back in the day...
And Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth? Always amazing!!!
That was fantastic.
That was fantastic.
I though so too...amazing on several levels.
Loved it! I’ll bet LZ is a more fitting song than what they were actually listing to for those moves.

I looked for the original on YouTube. I think this is it:
So I would definitely agree-- that music isn't that great.
Here's another sample of the two of them dancing together. Music not so great-- but OMG their dancing!!!
(Starts a bit slow but really picks up when she gets up and they start dancing together).
A true classic:
Fred Astaire & Rita Hayworth - The Shorty George
That's Entertainment !
Agreed.
And there's a certain classiness that is so often missing from the current scene...
"It's got a good beat and you can dance to it.
Yes.
'And there's more. ."
(to coin a phrase...
)
I prefer the Zeppelin version.
You also have to remember that Rita did everything Fred did, backwards and in high heels.
I saw Led Zeppelin live in OKC, OK on April 3rd, 1977.
