He has never been surpassed as a comic songwriter in English. How remarkable that he should have mastered the performance of the songs, too, as here --- and could focus his performance so effectively within the narrow frame of the close-up camera lens. Also remarkable that he had so much lung power after forty years of smoking. He never looks tired; never steals a breath.

It's all lyrical poetry, and always has been. The ancient Greeks would have considered him a barbarian, but they would have recognized him as a tribal singer, simply from his rhyme and meter. The same is true of Rap, they're all just stylistic differences on the same art form.

So fascinating to compare this version to the original from 1932, where he keeps the rhythm very regular. kzitem.info/news/bejne/o5-csoR9omaJaXY It's masterful the way he drags and pushes ahead here, but always lands with the pianist eventually - this would have been very carefully rehearsed. It's not the pianist catching up to him - the piano is fairly in tempo. It's Coward who is playing around with the rhythm. If you write the song, you have every right to play around with it!

Reasonable people can make allowances for things from an earlier time when casual racism was accepted.

Maybe, though I think it's more likely to just be that the old video camera had a slow shutter speed, or something went wrong with the frame rate when it was transferred to film, etc. I don't know too much about old TV cameras, but I highly doubt Coward, or anyone back then, would have gone through the trouble to dub themselves in a TV broadcast after it had aired.
