EXHAUSTIVE, ACCURATE, INFORMATIVE,
By Lou Simon "asidebside" (New Jersey, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hollywood Sings!: An Inside Look at Sixty Years of Academy Award-Nominated Songs (Paperback)
Susan Sackett gives a readable, digestable and loving look at each song that got the Academy's nod as a Best Song nominee. Not overly encyclopedic yet well-detailed, this compendium offers the story behind the song itself, interesting asides about the writers and how the song was used in each film Included, too, are anecdotes,industry quotes and anomalies that make each entry even more interesting.
The book cuts off in 1992 and was never updated. It would be great to have the last 15 years of nominees represented, as well.
