Who was the favourite choice of the great popular stage and screen composers to introduce their songs? A unanimous answer: Fred Astaire. The screen’s most captivating dancer was also the most charming and intelligent interpreter of song. Frederick Austerlitz was originally considered the less talented partner in a double act, with his sister Adele. Can you imagine that? Especially after hearing this wonderful song, penned by Irving Berlin for Fred to introduce in ‘Top Hat’ – Isn’t This A Lovely Day (To Be Caught In The Rain?). Berlin also contributes another Fred Astaire standard in the cheery, upbeat I’m Putting All My Eggs In One Basket from the film ‘Follow the Fleet’ in which Fred was a naval rating.

Lyrics:
The weather is frightening
The thunder and lightning
Seem to be having their way
But as far as I'm concerned
It's a lovely day
The turn in the weather
Will keep us together
So I can honestly say
That as far as I'm concerned
It's a lovely day and everything's okay
Isn't this a lovely day to be caught in the rain?
You were going on your way
Now you've got to remain
Just as you were going
Leaving me all at sea
The clouds broke, they broke
And oh what a break for me
I can see the sun up high
Though we're caught in a storm
I can see where you and I could be cozy and warm
Let the rain pitterpatter
But it really doesn't matter
If the skies are gray
Long as I can be with you
It's a lovely day
