John Payne & Dick Powell video

Dick Powell (1904–1963)

John Payne (1912–1989)

Dick Powell and John Payne are two of my favorite Golden Age's gentlemen. Both were wildly talented and diversified their careers from dominant crooners in classic musical comedies in the 30's and early 40's to becoming 'tough guy' icons in quintessential noir films.

Songs "Hey, tell me boy" by Marie Knight, "Bye, Bye Johnny" and "You Never Can Tell" by Chuck Berry, "Our love can still be saved" and "Ooh Wee Baby" by Jeff Barry. Two musical numbers performed by Dick Powell & Joan Blondell: "Plenty of money and you" from "Gold Diggers of 1937", and John Payne with Betty Grable in "Still Crazy For You" from "Footlight Serenade" (1942)
