The King and I (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) (Capital Records SW 740)

Mayar Music Company

  • $99.00


With its sterling reviews, big box-office numbers and five Academy Awards-including
Best Original Score - the 1956 film version of The King and I was, by some measures, the
most successful screen adaptation of a Rodgers & Hammerstein musical until The Sound
of Music came along nearly a decade later. 

The film soundtrack featured some of the most indelible performances of some of
Rodgers & Hammerstein's most enduring songs, including "Getting To Know You", "I
Whistle a Happy Tune" and "I Have Dreamed" (the latter of which has become a beloved
standard).  The soundtrack went to No. 1 on the album charts in October 1956.
