Ginger Rogers - They all laughed - Gershwin Posted by: violinthief
Video duration: 322 seconds Ginger Rogers in the first performance of George and Ira Gershwin's song, "They All Laughed", from 1937. I especially enjoy hearing this version because it has Gershwin's wonderful orchestration. A bit later, it is repeated as a virtuoso dance number with Fred Astaire. I included that as well.
