  • “Fascinating Rhythm”—Fred and Adele Astaire; George Gershwin, Piano (1926) Added to the National Registry: 2004 Essay by Cary O’Dell
    “Fascinating Rhythm”—Fred and Adele Astaire; George Gershwin, piano (1926) Added to the National Registry: 2004 Essay by Cary O’Dell George Gerswhin Fred Astaire Adele Astaire For an artist so synonymous with dance, Fred Astaire is also certainly associated with a wide selection of musical standards—“Cheek to Cheek,” “Top Hat,” “Funny Face” and “Night and Day,” to name just a few. And for a man forever partnered with Ginger Rogers within popular culture, Astaire got his first taste of stardom while still teamed with his talented elder sister and longtime stage co-star, Adele. Both natural-born dancers with unbelievable technique and an innate sense of rhythm, the Astaires began performing as a brother-sister team in vaudeville in the 1900’s. Eventually, they worked their way up to the Orpheum Circuit. Filling their act with songs, sibling teasing and, of course, dance, the duo first appeared on Broadway, in the show “Over the Top,” in 1917. Meanwhile, though the brothers Gershwin, George and Ira, were each having some individual success as Tin Pan Alley tunesmiths in the early 1920’s, they achieved their greatest success when they teamed up together for the Broadway stage and wrote the musical “Lady, Be Good” in 1924. Along with composing that show’s long-enduring title tune, the Gerswhins also wrote “Fascinating Rhythm,” a bouncy duet that Fred and Adele would perform in the show in New York and in London’s West End. They would commit it to record, on Columbia, with George Gerswhin on piano, in 1926. This recording was named to the Library of Congress’ National Registry in 2004.

  • Author's Note  X
    Author’s Note It was always about loving the sound of the singing voice and wondering what it could do. I had a nice voice as a preteen and sang “Silent Night” on the stage of P.S. 64 in the Bronx two Christmases in a row, so I knew what singing was, but let’s face it, all you really need for that song is a good octave and two notes—that’s why it’s so popular. (The only hurdle was the leap up to the first syllable of “heav’nly”; and it still is if you start it too high.) I got a portable radio that I put under my pillow at night and played quietly: listening to the Platters sing “Only You” and “The Great Pretender” (with its al- ternating high A flats and B flats at the start of the reprise, which was way out of my capabilities) or the Five Satins singing “In the Still of the Night” or even Johnnie & Joe singing the wonderful “Over the Mountain, Across the Sea” was a spectacular antidote to Perry Como’s eight-note range that my parents were riveted to on the television. Somehow, the wider range, both vocal and emotional—they sang high, they sang low; they whispered, they wailed—made their music more personal, more full of feeling, more exciting than Perry Como’s, Vic Damone’s, Eddie Fisher’s, or Andy Williams’s. One might think it was a black-versus- WeepShudderDie_i-xvi_1-240_4p_des.indd 9 3/28/11 8:10 AM white thing at the time—what with black singers being far more exotic and therefore more interesting—but Paul Anka’s “Diana” and Buddy Holly’s “That’ll Be the Day” were other landmarks for some reason.

  • The History of CBS New York Television Studios: 1937-1965
    1 The History of CBS New York Television Studios: 1937-1965 By Bobby Ellerbee and Eyes of a Generation.com Preface and Acknowledgements This is the first known chronological listing that details the CBS television studios in New York City. Included in this exclusive presentation by and for Eyes of a Generation, are the outside performance theaters and their conversion dates to CBS Television theaters. This compilation gives us the clearest and most concise guide yet to the production and technical operations of television’s early days and the efforts at CBS to pioneer the new medium. This story is told to the best of our abilities, as a great deal of the information on these facilities is now gone…like so many of the men and women who worked there. I’ve told this as concisely as possible, but some elements are dependent on the memories of those who were there many years ago, and from conclusions drawn from research. If you can add to this with facts or photos, please contact me, as this is an ongoing project. (First Revision: August 6, 2018). Eyes of a Generation would like to offer a huge thanks to the many past and present CBS people that helped, but most especially to television historian and author David Schwartz (GSN), and Gady Reinhold (CBS 1966 to present), for their first-hand knowledge, photos and help.
