Songs Written for Films That Stand on Their Own

A frog with a banjo, a singer alone at a piano, and a soul groove built for a city street all had movies to serve. These songs were written for the films named here. Hear them away from the screen and there’s still a voice, a rhythm, or a small story to follow. Start with “Across 110th Street” for a whole setting in a few minutes or “Moon River” for how little a song needs to carry one.
