Description

Competition was tight for the Original Song Oscar for songs released in 1970, as six of the 11 Oscar nominees had already won at least one Oscar. The five songs weren't immensely popular with the public, but they did provide some intriguing storylines as two members of a moderately popular rock and roll band wrote a conventional love ballad and used pseudonyms in case the song was a flop. Henry Mancini found himself writing his first song for Julie Andrews, and Leslie Bricusse was gunning for another Oscar with another song from a British musical. Find out which one wins on The Best Song Podcast!
