The Yam and The Yam Step by Fred Astaire and Ray Noble 1938

Post by melvind »

Here is a record from 1938 with a fun Brunswick label showing the head of Fred Astaire. Music from the movie Carefree with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers written by Irving Berlin. This record has “The Yam” on one side and “The Yam Step” on the second which is Astaire explaining the steps to Ray Noble, with a bit of humorous banter, and tap dancing.

Both sides of the record are in one video. The Yam Step is more fun to me, but I like both sides.
