The Astaire was written by Cy, with lyrics by Andrew Rosenthal, and scored as a solo piano piece and in an orchestral version. As the name inplies, it was written in honor of Fred Astaire's having created a new dance that was to be part of his launching of the Fred Astaire Dance Studios. We are fortunate to have versions of this song as performed by Cy and Stan on duo pianos; as performed by Eileen Farrell, vocalist, accompanied by Cy; and as performed in an orchestral version with Benny Goodman and Fred Astaire himself on vocals.
