GENE KELLY RULES!

One little-known fact about myself: I am a huge fan of Gene Kelly. In my opinion, he is the most talented Broadway actors/singers of all time. The following are 3 of my favourite Gene Kelly numbers picked from his films.

The first clip is, of course, the ever-so-popular "Singin' in the Rain" number from the 1952 film of the same name.

The second clip is from the 1951 film, An American in Paris, featuring the number "I Got Rhythm".

The third clip is "The Worry Song" from the 1945 film Anchors Aweigh, featuring Jerry Mouse from the Tom and Jerry cartoons (voiced by Sara Berner).

The final clip is probably my favourite among the 4 clips. It is "I Like Myself" from the 1955 film It's Always Fair Weather. It features Kelly tap-dancing... on roller skates!

Rest in peace, Mr. Kelly. You will always be awesome in my book.
