Song that opens the movie?


Does anyone know the name of the 50s/60s style song that opens the movie and who the artist is? I can't find this info anywhere.

Could This Be Magic, recorded by The Dubs around 1958.

david lean could create a great movie, the rest catch lightning in a bottle.

"Could This Be Magic" was the biggest of three chart hits for The Dubs, an R&B doowop vocal group from Harlem fesaturing lead singer Richard Blandon. Their recording of "Could This Be Magic," issued as Gone single #5011, reached #23 nationally over a sixteen week run beginning November 4, 1957. Their other lesser hits were "Don't Ask Me To Be Lonely" (1957) and "Chapel of Dreams" (1959). "Could It Be Magic" by The Dubs has been reissued many times over the years on various compilation oldies / doowop LPs and CDs.

thanx gary! i might note that The Dubs also recorded and had a minor chart song (my personal favorite) "Be Sure". The Dubs were among the best of the DooWop groups (the Best according to a friend of mine), but had the same problem all the DooWop groups had: finding good material to record. too bad.

i might also mention that an excellent (if not the best)source about music on the internet is:

www.allmusic.com

info can be accessed by artist or song (among other choices)and is really diverse.

as far as doowop and the song Could This Be Magic go, i personally favor the Rhino cds. Magic appears on "DooWop Box, vol. 2."
