Abilene High's Pure Gold Show 2006: Cheek to Cheek

Pure Gold sings \"Cheek to Cheek\".\n\n\"Cheek to Cheek\" is a song written by Irving Berlin, and first performed by Fred Astaire in the movie Top Hat (1935).\n\nThe song is probably most famous for its opening lines, \"Heaven, I\'m in heaven, and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak...\" and was featured in the Astaire-Rogers movie, soon becoming a standard sung by many other artists, including Bing Crosby, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Eva C%@idy, Doris Day, Jane Monheit and Frank Sinatra.\n\nThe song, as sung by Astaire and Fitzgerald, is featured in the movie The English Patient. It is sung by Kenneth Branagh in Love\'s Labour\'s Lost. It is also shown being performed in The Green Mile, Rain Man and The Purple Rose of Cairo when Top Hat is being viewed.\n\nPure Gold is a vocal ensemble group directed by Teri Godfrey consisting of six men and women who can sing and dance with equal skill. Once a year on May 1st at the Paramount Theatre in downtown Abilene, Texas, they put on a show that is free admission (so long as you\'ve gotten a ticket from a member or gotten one from the choir director).\nDirector: Teri Godfrey\nChoreographer: Teri Wilkerson\n\nAs a side note, this is a school that was shown in the movie \"Friday Night Lights\". Remember the team that beat Odessa Permian 46-6 in the movie? Yes, not only do the Eagles have an awesome football team year in and year out, the choir department is strong as well.
