The Graduate – Original Soundtrack – Speakers Corner LP

Description

The soundtrack to this Oscar and Golden Globe winning film was put together from already existent, successful pop numbers. No words are really necessary about the music, since numbers such as “Sound of Silence,” “Mrs. Robinson” and “Scarborough Fair” have entered into the annals of musical culture ever since they were used in the film. It is astounding to note how seamlessly the various works fit snugly into the film’s context, as though they had been specially written for the scenes. It catapulted Simon & Garfunkel right to the top of the list of ballad singers, and it also includes instrumental insertion numbers by Dave Grusin, who virtually fell into oblivion after all the hype about this provocative movie.The Sound Of Silence – Simon And GarfunkelThe Singleman Party Foxtrot – David GrusinMrs. Robinson – Simon And GarfunkelSunporch Cha-Cha-Cha – David GrusinScarborough Fair / Canticle (Inerlude) – Simon And GarfunkelOn The Strip – David GrusinApril Come She Will – Simon And GarfunkelThe Folks – David GrusinScarborough Fair / Canticle – Simon And GarfunkelA Great Effect – David GrusinThe Big Bright Green Pleasure Machine – Simon And GarfunkelWhew – David GrusinMrs. Robinson – Simon And GarfunkelThe Sound Of Silence – Simon And Garfunkel
