First movie to use popular songs instead of a traditional score?


I know the Graduate came out two years earlier but those were original Paul Simon compositions, right?

YES...FIRST FILM TO USE POPULAR SONGS THROUGHOUT IN LIEU OF SCORE...IM ACTUALLY ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH PETER FONDA'S BIOGRAPHY CURRENTLY..HE WRITES LIKE A NARCISSITIC CHILD,BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF INTERESTING NUGGETS THROUGHOUT.
