Ginger Rogers, born Virginia Katherine McMath on July 16, 1911, in Independence, Missouri, was an iconic American actress, singer, and dancer whose entertainment career spanned over five decades. Although you've presented her recent releases as musical tracks, it's important to note that Rogers was foremost a multi-talented star of the silver screen. Her most celebrated work was during Hollywood's Golden Age, partnering with Fred Astaire in a series of ten classic musical films that redefined the genre. The duo's on-screen chemistry and their intricate dance routines are legendary, and their films such as "Top Hat" (1935) and "Swing Time" (1936) continue to be revered by cinema enthusiasts.

Outside her partnership with Astaire, Ginger Rogers had a successful solo career, showcasing her range of talents in both comedic and dramatic roles. She won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in "Kitty Foyle" (1940). While she is not primarily known for her music recordings, the latter part of her career did involve television appearances and musical performances such as the live rendition of "Before The Parade Passes By" on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1967. Her legacy lives on not just in film but also through collections of her works, such as "The Vintage Radio Shows," which present a different facet of her entertainment prowess. Ginger Rogers passed away on April 25, 1995, but she endures as an emblem of grace and talent, leaving an indelible mark on the worlds of dance, cinema, and music.
