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.
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
