101 Strings Orchestra: Theme From 'A Summer Place' (Steiner, 1959) - Movie Clips

Max Steiner wrote the "Theme from A Summer Place" for the 1959 film, "A Summer Place," which starred Sandra Dee and Troy Donahue. It was recorded for the film by Hugo Winterhalter, but Percy Faith recorded the most popular version of the tune, which spent an at-the-time record of nine consecutive weeks at number one on the still-young Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in early 1960. It remains the longest-running number-one instrumental in the history of the chart. Faith won a Grammy Award for Record of the Year in 1961 for his recording. This was the first movie theme and the first instrumental to win a Record of the Year Grammy.

Que lindisima canción, era solo un niño cuando mi madre la escuchaba por la radio y siempre me agradó y me relacionó en mi vida; me quedé ligado a estas melodías y a pesar que estaba el rock and roll sonando con furor y era el rey de mis amigos, yo tenía mi lugar especial para la música orquestada como esta; es tan maravillosa que trasciende el tiempo.

@l1nkh0gthr0b Of course, you are entitled to your opinion, but for me, no other artist can compare with Percy Faith's version that broke records for an instrumental (9 weeks at number 1) that still stand to this day. I do enjoy James Last's version, though.
