Just A Couple of Song and Dance Men

In 1975, the two of them recorded an album of dues. Here (vocals only) are three songs from that album, including "Couple of Song and Dance Men," an amusing piece of special material called "Top Billing" and a fun version of "Roxie," from Chicago, which was on Broadway at the time

Here's Fred singing "I Wanna Be a Dancin' Man" from The Belle of New York:

And here's the very exiting version of the same song Fosse created as a tribute to Astaire, first for the Dancin' and then used again in Fosse

If only Fosse and Astaire had worked together!

On my bucket list of things I want to do before I die: learn to do a tap dance and a soft-shoe.
