Moonglow / Theme From Picnic By Morris Stoloff

Morris Stoloff was a musical composer who worked as a musical director at Columbia Pictures from 1936 to 1962.  He ranks among some of the most-nominated individuals in the history of the Academy Awards.  He won 3 Oscars for best scores, for Cover Girl, The Jolson Story, and Song Without End, and was nominated 14 other times.  Stoloff was one of the first to combine music from a motion picture and release as a soundtrack album.  These songs were featured in the movie Picnic starring William Holden and Kim Novak.  Moonglow has long been a favorite of jazz musicians, many of whom have rendered classic interpretations.  This selection spent several weeks at  #1 on the Billboard charts in 1956 and was also #9 for that year.
