Keep Young and Beautiful
(Redirected from Keep Young and Beautiful (song))
"Keep Young and Beautiful" is a song by Al Dubin (lyrics) and Harry Warren (music), performed by Eddie Cantor and a chorus in the 1933 film Roman Scandals.[1]
A recording by Abe Lyman and His California Orchestra was released in 1934.[2]
Annie Lennox recorded a cover of the song for her album Diva (1992).[3]
While it does not appear in the original 1980 version, the song is used in act 1 for the 2001 Broadway revival of Warren and Dubin's 42nd Street. The cast recording is performed by Mary Testa, Jonathan Freeman, and the ensemble.
The song was a favourite of Winston Churchill.[4]
