Now Fred Astaire

Now Fred Astaire (or simply Now) is a studio album by American dancer and singer Fred Astaire, released in 1959 on Kapp Records.

Billboard reviewed the album and rated it four stars out of four, writing: "In his straightforward, easy-going, inimitable fashion, Fred Astaire warmly gives out with a varied program of standards, rhythm tunes and ballads, including medleys from some of his hit pix. Mr. Astaire is backed nicely by ork and chorus directed by Pete King. Arrangements by Mr. King and Marty Paich. Highlights include "Change Partners," "The Afterbeat," "They All Laughed," "Lady of the Evening," and the medleys mentioned above. His many fans and recent TV exposure should make this a big one."
