AFI's 100 Years... 100 Songs
- AFI's 100 Years... 100 Songs
Part of the AFI 100 Years... series, AFI's 100 Years... 100 Songs is a list of the top 100 songs in American cinema. The list was unveiled by the American Film Institute June 22, 2004 in a CBS special hosted by John Travolta, who appeared in two films honored by the list, "Saturday Night Fever" and "Grease".
"Singin' in the Rain", "The Sound of Music" and "West Side Story" tied for the most recognition, each with three songs on the list. "The Wizard of Oz", "A Star Is Born" (#11 from the 1954 version and #16 from the 1976 version), "Funny Girl", and "Meet Me in St. Louis" all have two entries.
The list
About
Only 61 of the songs were introduced in or written for the movies cited. 22 are from Broadway productions, 4 had been used in earlier movies, and 12 had been performed separate from the movie. One, "Summertime" (#52), is from an opera - Porgy and Bess. Its inclusion was surprising, as the movie had only 1 television broadcast, in 1967, had not been licensed for public showing since 1974, and had never been released to VHS or DVD. Four entries are from animated films, all of which were produced by the Walt Disney Studios (#99, #62, #19 and #7).
Judy Garland has 5 entries on the list (#76, #61, #26, #11, and #1 with Over the Rainbow.) She is the most represented singer. Julie Andrews (#88, #64, #36 and # 10) and Barbra Streisand (#46, #16, #13 and #8) tied for second place with four entries each.
