Free Music Notes for Flower Drum Song (1961 Film Soundtrack)
Free Music Review: "Sunday" Listening Pleasure
Hit: 5 Stars
This soundtrack from the 1961 musical "Flower Drum Song", has not lost one bit of it's charm. It's as lovely today as it was nearly 45 years ago.
The story is a charmer. Old meets new and East meets West as generations and cultures differ in opinion where matters of the heart are concerned. The older generation and those from the "Old Country"(China) want to make a marriage match the traditional way, and the younger generation, well, of course they have their own ideas about love and marriage.
Rodger's and Hammerstein's words and music tell this wonderful, comic and sweet love story perfectly. Long time fans of the film and the music will love the way their favorites sound on this CD(Decca). From the opening Overture, "Flower Drum Song", a great instumental that combines a little of the entire soundtrack, to the whimsical "Don't Marry Me", the dreamy "Love Look Away", and the sentimental and traditional Chinese style of the Wedding Finale, the music will have you reliving the film, and you might even find it difficult not to sing along.
Some fun numbers include "Gliding Through My Memoree", "Fan Tan Fanny" and "Chop Suey". "The Other Generation" is a cute song, that has the older and younger generations griping about each other. Of course, when I first saw the film, I was in agreement with the words of the younger gerneration, and now , well, you know...
James Shigeta's (younger fans will know him from "Die Hard"), "You Are Beautiful" is just that..beautiful. "Love Look Away" has a second rendition, a bonus track sung by Rosemary Clooney."Sunday" and "I Enjoy Being A Girl" will bring back some great memories of the film. And of course there is nothing sweeter than listening to Miyoshi Umeki's, "A Hundred Million Miracles" and "I Am Going To Like It Here"
There are 15 tracks in all. The songs range in minutes from 2:24 to 5:04. The artwork inside the case has a great shot of Nancy Kwan doing the "Fan Tan Fanny" number. There is a nice booklet that has some reissue notes, photos from the film and the track listings.
This album is a real treat. The songs are a great blend of fun romance, and Eastern flavor. So glide back through your memories, you are 'going to like it here' on "Grant Avenue, San Francisco, Calif, U.S.A.".
Enjoy with some "Chop Suey"....Laurie
