"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]
One scratched and ancient record which he demanded time and again was of Eddie Cantor singing "Build a little home" and "Keep Young and Beautiful," from the pre-war film Roman Scandals.
