A Few of My Favorite Things
View through CrossRef
The technology to reproduce a film’s soundtrack for home consumption didn’t arrive fully until the early 1950s; it was no surprise that the Capitol soundtrack recording to the 1955 film of Oklahoma! was the biggest seller of its day. Film soundtracks gave home listeners a second chance to hear their favorite scores and often, as in the case of West Side Story, the film soundtrack provided a new opportunity to discover the music (that soundtrack stayed longer at No. 1 than any album in history to this day). The performer who sold more soundtrack albums than anyone else in the 1960s was Julie Andrews, whose simultaneous recordings of the films Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music made her the most ubiquitous singer in pop culture.
