The song “The Way You Look Tonight” was first appeared in the movie Swing Time performed by Fred Astaire. It acquired the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1936. The song was first introduced to me through the soundtrack of the movie Barney’s Version; a reflective movie with an awesome soundtrack. I revisited the soundtrack when my amplifier was repaired after numerous attempts. It was wise a wise night. I loved every bit of the music. Enjoy.
