Absolutely!
No one in the history of American song introduced as many standards as Fred.
Once, my daughter and I were waiting for a curtain, and couldn’t help overhear the young woman behind us, vehemently championing Fred Astaire’s legend. She concluded, “Fred is the best. He. Just . Is.”
That was over a dozen years ago, but every time we see Fred, we said, “He. Just. Is.”
