And the Rest Is History
In 1933, Youmans wrote the songs for Flying Down to Rio, the first film to feature Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers as a featured dancing pair. – Wikipedia
A celebrated movie for
Which Youmans wrote a sparkling score
Was the very picture where
Ginger Rogers and Astaire
First became a dancing pair.

Though their plots show some wear and tear,
No dancing duo can compare
With Ginger Rogers and Astaire.
