Score! How soundtracks bring music nerds and movie geeks together

from How We Heard It · host howweheardit

Although the movie industry and the music industry have both continuously morphed and transformed, the two have been teaming up for almost a century with soundtracks. The impact of good movies paired with good music has been unforgettable, from "The Graduate" and "Shaft" to "Barbie" and "Frozen." What would a Disney animated movie be without a soundtrack? Songs for James Bond movies are sometimes more memorable than the films themselves. Plus, movies sometimes celebrate music genres, including disco, rap, alternative rock and country. Meanwhile, music for horror films can be key to the scares - just ask John Carpenter. Many top singers past and present have won Oscars for their work, including Billie Eilish, Eminem, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Lady Gaga, Adele and Lionel Richie. On this episode of "How We Heard It," veteran music journalists (and movie geeks) Chuck Campbell and Wayne Bledsoe break down some of the best soundtracks and movie songs from over the years ... and some stuff that doesn't hold up so well today.
