Titled after You're Easy to Dance With, an Irving Berlin song from the 1942 motion picture "Holiday Inn," this collection combines 2-LPs-on-1-CD with meticulously-remastered sound, original artwork, and new notes, quotes, and discographical information.
The 27 total selections, recorded in various settings between 1952 and 1962, contain music written by Astaire (like I'm Building Up to An Awful Letdown with lyrics from Johnny Mercer); songs that he was famously associated with throughout his career, including A Foggy Day, Change Partners, and a medley of Oh, Lady Be Good, Puttin' On the Ritz, and Top Hat, White Tie and Tails; and unusual bonus tracks, such as his humorous composition and vocal Calypso Hooray. |
