What does it take to bottle the essence of a movie in a single song? Throughout the history of cinema, leading artists, song writers and producers have grappled with this unique creative dilemma.<\/strong> Every so often, it results in era-defining masterworks, yielding songs that elevate their respective movies to greater heights of critical and artistic acclaim.
