Here is a piano roll of Irving Berlin's "Puttin' On The Ritz" that was released in April 1930. Although the pianist listed is Ralph Addison, that is one of the several names that the great Frank Milne used so it would not appear he was playing practically all the rolls. The lyrics are NOT politically correct, and Irving Berlin rewrote the lyrics in the 1950's. Although the song is associated with either Fred Astaire or the movie "Young Frankenstein", it was actually introduced by a song-and-dance man named Harry Richman. In the 1939 movie "Idiot's Delight", Clark Gable sings and dances to this song, his only known attempt at singing and dancing. If you want to hear a great version of this song, listen to Leo Reisman's Orchestra in 1930; here is the link: [ Ссылка ] and if you want to see Clark Gable: [ Ссылка ]
