Robert, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers recorded " I'm Putting All My Eggs In One Basket" for the film, with problems causing them to sing parts seperately, but they both recorded the song independently. We have the Ginger Rogers recording in 1936 with Jimmy Dorsey and his Orchestra and Fred Astaire sang with Johnny Green from" Follow The" Fleet.

There's also:

99 Miles From LA (covered by Johnny Mathis but recorded originally, I think, by Art Garfunkel and written in part by Hal David, the collaborator of Burt Bacharach). Johnny Mathis regularly sings this at his concerts.

Also: On Day in You Life by Michael Jackson but also covered superbly and (in my view in a better version) by Johnny Mathis on the same album which features 99 Miles From LA.
