4.0 out of 5 stars
Good collection of early movie songs,

This review is from: 20 Years of Original Oscar Winning Songs (Audio CD)
We may have to wait until PBS does a special to get a really comprehensive overview of film music. However, until then, you can enjoy a decent collection of early film music by obtaing this compilation of the first 21 songs to win the Oscar for Best Song with the original singers. These years included classics like Bob Hope's "Thanks for the Memory", Bing Crosby's "White Christmas", Judy Garland's "Over the Rainbow", Sarah Vaughn's "It Might As Well Be Spring" and Nat King Cole's "Mona Lisa". Only a couple of songs have noticeably annoying background noise. The only drawback is the lack of good liner notes.

Musical standards you don't often find,
By tallahasseelass "Janet" (Tallahassee, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 20 Years of Original Oscar Winning Songs (Audio CD)
If for no other reason than to hear the original versions of some of these songs, the CD is worth the purchase. For me, hearing Cliff Edwards, voice of Jiminy Cricket in Disney's "Pinnochio" was enough. Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, Judy Garland, Fred Astaire...these are singers I remember watching with our entire family gathered around the large black and white television set. Happy times.
