Many recorded versions exist. One of the rarest recordings is by Joe Bari (a pseudonym of Anthony Dominick Benedetto, later better known as
Tony Bennett) for Leslie Records in
1949 and issued as catalog number 919 with "Vieni Qui" as the flip side. Having rerecorded it as a duet with
Diana Krall in 2018 for their duet album Love Is Here to Stay, he currently holds the
Guinness World Record for the "longest time between the release of an original recording and a re-recording of the same single by the same artist".[3][4]
"Fascinating Rhythm" inspired the riff to the 1974
Deep Purple song "
Burn".[5]
The 1926 Astaire/Gershwin version and a 1938 version by Hawaiian steel guitarist
Sol Hoʻopiʻi have both been added to the
Library of Congress's
National Recording Registry of "culturally, historically, or aesthetically important" American sound recordings.[6]
