'80s pretty boy/copy cat Taco Ockerse did a pretty faithful rendition of the old classic, and in his hands the song became a much bigger hit than it had ever been for Astaire.
Taco's reincarnation even included the hit gloves and tails - in fact his whole act hinged on the old musicals, as his "After Eight" album is made up of '30s tunes and original compositions that attempt to recreate the sound.
The fact that a song like "Puttin' On the Ritz" - when cleverly done with a bit of style - can become a successful hit in a hostile popular climate is a good sign that music buyers are at a point where they appreciate something fresh and different.

 Taco: After Eight - PopMatters Music Review
Taco's After Eight has to be seen and heard to be believed, but it's probably a given that most people won't want to bother with it.
The whole problem with the songs is that Taco really tried to fashion himself as a crooner of times gone by for this junk, and it didn't work at all.
The fact of the matter is Taco was a lousy little one hit wonder that will forever be remembered for that goofy version of "Puttin' on the Ritz" that people still love to hear for some reason.

 45RPM » Sunday Synthpop Brunch: Taco
Very few biographical details exist anywhere about Taco Ockerse, so we’ll cut to the chase fairly quickly: born in Indonesia (yet of Dutch descent) and raised in Germany, Ockerse studied theater and dance before making a name for himself around Hamburg as the frontman of the band Taco’s Bizz.
Astutely realizing the commercial potential in Ockerse’s neo-retro schtick, RCA Records green-lighted an album to be created around “Puttin’ On The Ritz,”; serving up a mixed bag of similarly-retooled Depression-era pop tunes from the Taco’s Bizz repertiore alongside a few original songs.
There are also accounts of Ockerse dropping the robopop and trying out a more R&B-leaning style of music, but information on these latter albums is nonexistent (or written solely in German).
