Cyd Charisse


Bold, beautiful Cyd Charisse. A dancer/movie star synonymous with the golden era of the movie musical. Sweeping the world off its feet in most of MGM's major musicals, Ms. Charisse delivered an excellent Ninotchka in Cole Porter's Silk Stockings, leaving comparisons to Greta Garbo's original performance at the door. As was often the case in those days, however, Cyd's singing was also left at the door. But the woman is capable of busting out a tune and made her Broadway debut at 70 in Grand Hotel, doing her own singing (obviously) and taking on another Garbo role. Here is the demo for "It's A Chemical Reaction" using Cyd's real vocals.
