A FOGGY DAY.   Performed by Gregory Hines.     George and Ira Gershwin wrote this song for a 1937 movie called “A Damsel in Distress.”  Fred Astaire performed “Foggy Day”  in that film.

We have a winner in our “name that singer” contest. It is Carl Swenson of OG who nailed it.

Gregory Hines was a  brilliant performer who, early in his career, sang and danced with his brother Maurice Hines and his Dad.  The act was called “Hines, Hines and Dad.”  Eileen and I saw them live in New York, and they they were wonderful.    Unknown-3

Gregory Hines was a great star of movies, TV,  and Broadway. He won a Tony and an Emmy.  He died at age 57 of cancer. —PG

    In the time before time, I saw him perform in NY a few times both on B’way and off and knew he could sing ‘legit’. I also knew he performed with his brother Maurice, didn’t know about the father though.
