"  That Face " Producer and Manhattan celebrity David Susskind was enraptured by the face of Joyce Davidson who he eventually married.She was a Canadian born television interviewer and personality who. with husband Susskind, became part of the glittering Manhattan social scene. David loved the song written by Lew Spence and lyrics by Alan Bergman ( inspired by his soon-to-be wife Marilyn with whom he co- wrote lyrics for Michel LeGrand,Johnny Mandel, Dave Frishberg and Barbra Streisand.)
Whenever Joyce and David entered the Cafe Carlyle, a watering hole for Manhattan society,singer & pianist Bobby Short would immediately start playing "That Face" much to the couple's delight and appreciation.
Here it is performed by Fred Astaire whose clear diction and articulation of the lyrics conveys the passion evoked by " That ( marvellous) Face."
