Fred Astaire's "Let's Face the Music and Dance" and "Change Partners" define both Astaire and Berlin's elegant charm, while Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" and Dinah Shore's "Doin' What Comes Natur'lly" exemplify Berlin's knack for writing instantly memorable songs that never wear out their welcome, no matter how many times they're played.
