I Won't Dance (Jerome Kern - Fred Astaire, Pianist) Cover by Tracy Harris Bird
This song has been used over the years by many different artists, television shows and movies since it was released. It's a fun piece to play with a jazz flare to it.
"I Won't Dance" is a song with music by Jerome Kern that has become a jazz standard. The next year, Fields was hired to help with the music for a film version of the 1933 Kern-Harbach musical Roberta. The writing team decided to make use of "I Won't Dance" for the film, also named Roberta. However, Fields rewrote nearly all of the lyrics, making the song more playful and suggestive by having the narrator refuse to dance because "I know that music leads the way to romance". The song became such a hit, largely due to the fact that it was performed by Fred Astaire, that it is now included in all stage revivals and recordings of Roberta.
The song was added to the 1935 film version of "Roberta", sung by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, danced to (solo) by Fred Astaire, then reprised as a dance by both.
