Don't only praise the editing, praise the Fantastic talent of Mr. Fred Astaire and Miss Rita Hayworth. Remember, she did everything backwards and in heels.
Never thought that I'd hear Led Zeppelin, Fred Astaire, and Rita Hayworth in the same sentence, much less the same video. Gosh, this was wonderful!! The editing was flawless. I smiled the entire time and I thank you SO much for this. Fabulous.
Usually, musical combinations like this do not always work as well as this did. But this was superb. I was wondering what Fred Astaire would have thought of the whole thing and have decided he would have - pardon - gotten a real kick out of it. It's not like he was totally against rock music. He went to go see an Alice Cooper show with Groucho - who was a close friend of Groucho. And being a really good drummer, himself how could he help but like Bonzo.
Whoever put this together has a great sense of humor and a fascinating sense of quality. This video shows how great Fred Astaire, Rita Hayworth, and Led Zeppelin all were. Bravo
@@blackolantern5666 Was just waiting for someone to go negative...had to bring it up, didn't you? Not enough to enjoy some classy talent, had to talk about stuff that isn't even dancing.
Led Zeppelin 1 came out the same year I dropped Acid for the first time in 1969. I'm 68 now. I was 13 then and that was the first album I ever bought. I used money from my paper route to buy it. That was my first trip to downtown Long Beach, CA by bus by myself to buy the album. So many times tripping in my bedroom listening to it. It was fifteen years later I got to meet Plant backstage at a Donovan concert at the Santa Monica Civic. He was in a wheelchair from a car accident and asked me to push him around. The rest of the band was in the audience. I was a production assistant for Fun Productions that put on the show in 1976(?) and this song was a part of that show. Kudos to the producer of this video! I've done a few like this many years ago in the early days of youtube and it isn't easy.
I had tickets to see them in Atlanta when they had to cancel because of that accident! I was heartbroken! I should have kept the tickets but I had to return them and get my $11 (!!!) back cause I was also broke! Never got another chance to see the band but saw Plant many times and Page a couple of times, playing with other acts. And saw Jason Bonham's Zeppelin tribute in '22.
This was absolutely superb. Did a great job of timing, dancing with the music and words matching the actions. This is one of the best ones I've seen and I absolutely love Led Zeppelin.
Whenever I watch Rita Hayworth dance she looks like she's having the time of her life. Truly one of a kind; the likes of which we'll probably never see again.
I LOVE THIS. I'm 77 so grew up watching old movies (Astaire musicals & Rita in various movies) on TV & in 70's loved Led Zep, still do 2day!!! And dang, but he's awesome an dancer.
THAT is AMAZING! I have been listening to Led Zeppelin ever since the release of their very first album yet that totally caught me by surprise. Congratulations and thank you to whoever put that together. And, yep, I just found out how special Rita Hayworth was.
This is wild. My mom was a professional dancer, had her own dance studio. She loved Led Zep and did these sorts of dances to them. How I wish I had video back in the day...
It just goes to show how while music may change over the years, dancing doesn't really change as much as you might think. Our parents and grandparents were making the same moves, just to a different beat.
Never liked Fred Astaire. Thought all those old dance cheesy musicals were rubbish. But Wow! I have never ever ever done such an about-face in my life! Absolutely stupendous! What an absolute mindblower!
Our parents and grandparents were BETTER dancers than we are. They were dancing generations, and their music was made to dance to. I'm 64 and remember the old timers "cutting the rug" at family weddings etc... They were just better dancers than us.
I dunno... There may be some similar steps, just as there are similar chords and progressions in music through the ages. But just as with the changes in music, the overall effect and feel of this kind of dance is radically different from today's.
Seeing Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth dance to Led Zeppelin is absolutely amazing! What an amazing duo! Rita is one of the most talented and absolutely beautiful wooam that Hollywood has ever seen! 😍😍😍❤❤❤
This is one of the best editing jobs I've ever seen. If whoever did this isn't a professional editor, he or she should be. Simply amazing how well it all matches up.
You are correct. Great. Fred was Amazing, his body Was always moving, his fingers, were dancing too. Fred did comment on Rita Hayworth, was terrific as partner. You can Definitely see it, Magnificent together!!!
I haven't watched one of these "old clips dancing to modern music" videos in a long time, & maybe I'm alone in this, but all the others I've watched in the past have been better. I was actually disappointed in the editing of the dance steps to the music. Also, the best one I've seen not only matched the video to the audio, but even matched the video to the lyrics!
There are more precise dancers than Rita Hayworth but none had her sheer vitality and beauty. Sometimes there are human beings that have a magical quality. She had it. How sad that life and men treated her so unkindly. Damaged her self worth and health. But her daughter sheltered cherished and cared for her through her illness until the end of her life which showed what a warm caring and loving parent she must have been.
I live now in a Village, 6 kms. of Seville (Spain), named Castilleja de la Cuesta, were was born Eduardo Cansino, father of Rita Hayworth. Rita had spanish blood in her veins.
WOW !!!! Amazing syncing with the music and dancing. I used to watch these movies as a kid because of parents choices, but this music really puts a new spin on things. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT
Astaire was once asked who his best dance partner was and famously replied “Rita Hayworth” instead of Ginger Rogers as most might expect. Hayworth wasn’t necessarily famous for being a dancer but her parents were professionals and she grew up in a dance studio so certainly had the background and chops to earn Astaire’s praise. Great video and editing.
This is exceptionally well done - the beats actually match up. Fred&Rita's embellishments and breaks match up with breaks in the song - same dancing-alone-army guy! Its given me a whole new appreciation for their dancing.
@@r.p.mcmurphy6623 Those of us who dance like donkeys mixed with elephant don't always pick up on these things right away...BTW, isn't this the best music video ever?
I just stumbled across this video - it shattered my sense of time like no other ever has! And it's an amazing music/dance video. Give whoever did this an e-media award.
Real love for Led Zeppelin for mostly all my life , never would I thought to see these movie classic & these classic Rock & Roll together, absolutely amazing 👏. Whoever paired these up did an outstanding job.
This is without question one of the COOLEST videos I've ever seen on RUclips! The synchronization and editing are superb! I'm certain Fred and Rita would have been totally impressed (as well as Led Zeppelin!) BRAVO!👍
Master class in dance. Fred Astair was so precise and limber yet he never looked like he was working. He looked so serene dancing away in intricate steps that had taken him hundreds of hours to memorize yet he looked like he just dropped in and did it as if he was just breathing.
Astair's physical grace was unmatched. It required a tremendous amount of athletic ability and self-control. He started his professional dance career with his sister, Adele, in the early 1900s in vaudeville. He became a favorite singer of tin-pan alley composers because he knew how to sing phrases so that the words meant something.
Great job! Rita Hayworth was so talented and absolutely beautiful. I was never a big fan of Fred Astaire's acting but he definitely was an amazing dancer. These two meshed perfectly together.
Absolutely brilliant. I went on to watch the OGWT Trampled Underfoot and found this. Some serious editing going on here. Thank you so much. I'll be watching this over and over. Superb
Greatest dance/music combo ever! Led Zep my all time favorite band (and greatest band of all time). I owned a danced studio years ago and introduced my students to the greatest dancers Astaire, Kelly, Ziegfeld Follies and the greatest music/musicians of multiple genres. We had dramatically-eclectic recital music, encompassing music from the 1920’s to Ziegfeld Era, through Woodstock and the 90’s when music was resurrected. For my final recital, I choreographed a mystical Belly Dance number to “Kashmir”. Memorable send-off tribute. These videos are fabulous!
I had to pause around a minute, and save this. What a combination. We don't get enough Rita Hayworth, a true Goddess. They are amazing together, great job. Rock on! x
@@jennifersman7990 well yeah....her father was a professional dancer, she took dance lessons from the age of three and performed with him on stage when she was 16. She was a dancer..... that took up acting after a while!
Actually Well Done doesn’t do justice to this amazing edit. Whoever did this is a true artist in my book. The work it must been…bet it was a labor of love. This has made my morning!
This video masterpiece is one of the greatest things I've ever seen! I was lucky enough to see The Zep 4 times in my youth, and sadly, Vietnam. Great work!
What a brilliant combination of two very unlikely entities. The almost superhuman dancing of Fred Astaire and the enduring power of Robert Plant and Led Zeppelin. If this doesn't make you smile then I feel sorry for you. An incredible pairing and the creative minds @ Retro Video both deserve a Standing Ovation!!!
This is one of those RUclips treasures that I got to see when it was still under 200k views. It's enough to influence people who have never heard of Fred Astaire or Led Zeppelin to get up and shake a leg.
this one's fred and rita - but far more often it was fred and ginger - ginger rogers was the one the quote was about. 'why is ginger rogers a way better dancer than fred astaire?'
These two were always so beautiful together. And you could almost put some of their routines to just about anything. And that shows just how good they were.
That was bad ass!!! Loved seeing them dancing to Led Zepplin, my FAVORITE band of all time!!! 😃😊 tired of seeing dancers doing Michael Jackson moonwalk all the time. This old time musicals stuff was awesome!!! , more, please!!
@@alemgas Michael Jackson was also good friends with Fred Astaire and created Smooth Criminal as an homage to him. My point is that MJ worked in and extended the Astaire tradition (with some James Brown thrown in for seasoning).
One of the most beautiful things I’ve seen on RUclips. 90 years separation. Most awesome time capsule. Thank you. I’m a Hoofer. And a Git fiddle player. Led Zep. And Fred Astaire. You just don’t get more energy then that.
WOW!! Always loved Fred Astaire, Rita Hayworth, and Led Zeppelin, but like most folks I was bowled over at the editing that put them all together in such a fantastic way! More, please!
Rita Hayworth just down right beautiful.
And talented. And those legs went on forever.
One of the hottest women ever.
No one like her👍
She knew how to move that beautiful body. Her face is timeless beauty. I'm in love!!
Gorgeous!
Orson Welles was a lucky man, for several years!
In 1978, a girlfriend criticized my love of Led Zeppelin. She said, "In ten years, you'll still be listening to Led Zeppelin." How about 42 years?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 👍
The same
😆😂
About 25 years ago I went to a Victorian music hall singalong dinner. I remarked that in a hundred years we’d be singing along to AC/DC...
Can’t think of how Led Zeppelin would become passé. Especially with the garbage passing for music in 2022.
My grandparents introduced me to Fred and Rita. My parents introduced me Led Zeppelin. This mash up is incredible!
Didn't anyone introduce you to The Three Stooges?
"Wipeout" by the Stooges is Great too!!!!
Don't only praise the editing, praise the Fantastic talent of Mr. Fred Astaire and Miss Rita Hayworth. Remember, she did everything backwards and in heels.
It was Ginger Rogers who made the statement.
Backwards? Please explain
However that particular quote was made by Miss Ginger Rogers, Fred's longtime dance partner
Everything!?
True. Funny how women have to dance and we take if for granted.
Hayworth is one of the all-time beauties. She would look fabulous in any era.
Amen, brother!
For sure, natural beauty is always best. Now a days these biddys are so full of plastic....
Absolutely! Thank you!
Who said u cant dance to ZEPPELIN
@@johngaribaldi2500 Fred and Rita could dance to anything John! 👍👍🕺💃

IknowRight!!!
Found this by accident. You're right. Plus I never knew Rita Hayworth was such a great dancer. I'm lovin' it . Ooooh yeah. Ooooh yeah.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
Wow...nice

I'm sure the acid was way stronger than in the 80s? Did partake in some window pane and purple microdot. Wild times.
Was at a Bad Company concert in L.A. that year and he was brought on stage to sing. I think it was at the Forum and we went wild.
You are lucky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ит' с лайкед😅!
This was absolutely superb. Did a great job of timing, dancing with the music and words matching the actions. This is one of the best ones I've seen and I absolutely love Led Zeppelin.
What are you talking about? Almost nothing matches rhythmically. This is poorly done, just some movie clips pasted onto a music track.
@@kilroy2517 Oh, no. It's Mr. Click track. 😄
@@tubbers20 The beat. Where is it?
@@kilroy2517 In Bonham's right foot.
The best on I've seen is this one: ruclips.net/video/M1F0lBnsnkE/видео.html

He actually said Rita was his favorite partner because she could keep up with him.
That Fred Astaire could really dance!! He probably never imagined he'd be dancing to one of the best from Led Zeppelin!!👏🏻👏🏻
Rita was Fred's favorite dancing partner. Maybe not technically the best of them, but she comes across so effortless. They're great together.
she could pick up a complicated routine faster than anyone else and was adorable doing it
THAT is AMAZING! I have been listening to Led Zeppelin ever since the release of their very first album yet that totally caught me by surprise. Congratulations and thank you to whoever put that together. And, yep, I just found out how special Rita Hayworth was.
when i was a child i told my mother when i grew up i was going to marry her i thought she was the prettiest woman i had ever seen

I don't know who put this together, but just one word ," brilliant. "
This is stunning. Who'd have thought. Fred and Rita. Rock 'n roll before their time! Kudos the editor.
but there are not taps to hear - makes no sense - should sound like ruclips.net/video/g170UfckI4E/видео.html - not covered up by music
Astaire’s and Hayworth timing to this modern LED Zeppelin number is perfect, thanks to whoever matched the timing to the dance.
There are more precise dancers than Rita Hayworth but none had her sheer vitality and beauty. Sometimes there are human beings that have a magical quality. She had it. How sad that life and men treated her so unkindly. Damaged her self worth and health. But her daughter sheltered cherished and cared for her through her illness until the end of her life which showed what a warm caring and loving parent she must have been.
She steals the spotlight from Fred Astaire at the first dance. I don't think other of his dance couples have achieved the same thing.
I live now in a Village, 6 kms. of Seville (Spain), named Castilleja de la Cuesta, were was born Eduardo Cansino, father of Rita Hayworth. Rita had spanish blood in her veins.
She was an excellent dancer and danced professionally at a young age. In an interview, Fred Astaire called her his favorite partner.
Absolutely brilliant! Even gives the Led Zeppelin original, a timeless classic, a whole new level of energy!!
❤
Great music and dancing!!!!!
this is what tapping should sound like ruclips.net/video/g170UfckI4E/видео.html - not covered up by music so that there are no taps to hear
Amazing how the song and the dancers blend so well. Who would have thought.
This sure put a smile on my face ... very entertaining and very well done.
OMG, it is perfect! Rita Hayworth, arguably one of the top 10 most beautiful women ever and Fred Astaire is divine as always.
Drop dead gorgeous
And dont fotget the MIGHTY LED ZEP.
Must be one of the silliest videos I ever saw...loved every second!

Amazing syncing with the music and dancing. I used to watch these movies as a kid because of parents choices, but this music really puts a new spin on things.

Hayworth wasn’t necessarily famous for being a dancer but her parents were professionals and she grew up in a dance studio so certainly had the background and chops to earn Astaire’s praise. Great video and editing.
I thought I heard a review of an audition of Astaire was something like "...Can't sing. Can't act. Balding. Can dance a little...". So... yeah...
I heard he had said Joan Leslie. Also not known for dancing but was quite a little hoofer, apparently.
Oh I don't know, I still think Fred 'n Ginger were the best dancers on the planet in their day.
My Uncle - who is now 91 - toured with Ginger Rogers - I don't think she could touch Rita - in looks style, moves or pure HEAT ...
she was performing professionally as her father's dance partner by 12.
Going to admit I only watched to see Rita Hayworth. In my opinion the most beautiful actress ever
This is exceptionally well done - the beats actually match up. Fred&Rita's embellishments and breaks match up with breaks in the song - same dancing-alone-army guy!
Its given me a whole new appreciation for their dancing.
BRAVO! One of the greatest rock bands in history and two legends from the big screen matched to perfection. Absolutely enjoyed this. THANK YOU!!!!
Really hits home how important the beat in music goes with dancing.

Just dope watching and smiling through this dancing and Led Zeppelin music
Best comment I ever heard about Rita Hayworth and Fred Astaire was that she did the same thing he was doing, backwards, in high heals.
this one's fred and rita - but far more often it was fred and ginger - ginger rogers was the one the quote was about.
'why is ginger rogers a way better dancer than fred astaire?'
Actually, that feminist expression was about Ginger Rogers, not Hayworth. But it's the same idea, and I love it, too. :-D
Of course, if you actually watch the movies, the person dancing backwards most often was Fred. But who cares about reality.
I think that was Ginger Rogers who was rated as his best partner. I luv Rita too.
Finally watched the whole video unbelievable absolute perfect mix NSYNC that was❤❤❤
Gotta be the best mashup of rock and old time videos ever. Loved it and cannot get as much as I need.
Can't go wrong with the classics
Let's take a minute and give Mad Propers to this Editor. 💥👏🏽💚 Long Live Fred,Rita...and 'The Mighty, Mighty Led Zeppelin'.
These two were always so beautiful together. And you could almost put some of their routines to just about anything. And that shows just how good they were.
This is fourth time in two years I’ve watched this clip. Just brilliant! 😂😂😂
Wonderful - My favourite group and my favourite dancer.
That was bad ass!!! Loved seeing them dancing to Led Zepplin, my FAVORITE band of all time!!! 😃😊
tired of seeing dancers doing Michael Jackson moonwalk all the time. This old time musicals stuff was awesome!!! , more, please!!
Jackson coppied the moon walk from some old movie from the 1920s ,
@@alemgas Michael Jackson was also good friends with Fred Astaire and created Smooth Criminal as an homage to him. My point is that MJ worked in and extended the Astaire tradition (with some James Brown thrown in for seasoning).
Brilliantly done compiling this and other videoes. My most favourite site--so much so I acyually live in the moments. Fantabaulouswork. Brilliant!!
Eindeutig der Beste Hardrockersong aller Zeiten❤❤❤
One of the most beautiful things I’ve seen on RUclips. 90 years separation. Most awesome time capsule. Thank you. I’m a Hoofer. And a Git fiddle player. Led Zep. And Fred Astaire. You just don’t get more energy then that.
Wow! This is the variation on a theme I’ve been waiting for! Brilliant!
Wunderbar exactly how i feel many Times Excited and Delighted !
Just the way I visualized it the first time listening with headphones.
Wow!!!!! just Wow! Awesome. Whoever put this together,,,, THANK YOU!
WOW!! Always loved Fred Astaire, Rita Hayworth, and Led Zeppelin, but like most folks I was bowled over at the editing that put them all together in such a fantastic way! More, please!
Rita Hayworth & Fred Astaire, I love them. Great arrangement.
Before my time, never realized just how beautiful she was and a great dancer too
