Andrew Lloyd Webber finally got the movie version of The Phantom of the Opera into movie theaters, and got an Oscar nomination for putting an original song into the film. The other nominees for the 2004 Original Song Oscar included two songs not performed in English, the first time that had happened. But, more memorable about the year was who performed the majority of the songs at the Oscar ceremony. Learn all about it on this episode!

This week, our Featured Year is 1976, as we make our way through the 70s and into the early 80s. Tim will have a lot to say about prolific songwriter Otis Blackwell, who penned big hits for Elvis like "Don't Be Cruel," "Return to Sender," and "All Shook Up." Otis wrote over 1,000 songs! We'll have a terrific "Cover vs. Cover" segment as well; one from the '60s--then re-done two decades later. Enjoy!
