Banu Gibson
Let''s Face the Music and Dance

Banu Gibson Home Page

Banu sings songs from the RKO films of Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers.

There was magic in the air when Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers made nine musicals together in the 1930s...These films were very much products of the 1930s, yet they seem timeless to fans who still cherish them today. What's more, the songs, created especially for Astaire and Rogers by some of the greatest composers and lyricists of the 20th century, have had a life of their own and show no signs of fading into obscurity... As Banu Gibson reaffirms in this lively collection, almost all of these compositions stand on their own quite apart from the movies that brought them into existence. Banu has a great simpatico with music of this period and its clear that she loves these tunes....This album features an all-star lineup of talented musicians who capture the energy and ebullience of the Astaire-Rogers songs right alongside the star vocalist.--Leonard Maltin (liner notes by Leonard Maltin - www.leonardmaltin.com)
