This was on last night and now I wish I had watched every minute. John Travolta was basically the moderator - just as gorgeous as ever.
I hope it's ok to put this thread here rather than in "Other TV Shows". Some of the music took me back, back, back - to many years ago.....to a time before some of your parents were born.
How do some of you relate to the following music at the time it occuring during your lifetime?
The following is rather long - how many of the music titles do you recognize?

• Best of the best: There's no song like "Over the Rainbow."
Kansas farm girl Dorothy Gale's wistful tune in "The Wizard of Oz" led the American Film Institute's list of 100 best movie songs, announced on Tuesday, followed by "As Time Goes By" from "Casablanca" at No. 2 and the title tune from "Singin' in the Rain" at No. 3.
"Over the Rainbow," sung by Judy Garland in the 1939 musical fantasy, was picked as the top song in U.S. cinema in voting by about 1,500 actors, filmmakers, writers, critics and others in Hollywood.
In 2001, Garland's "Over the Rainbow" (and Bing Crosby's "White Christmas") also topped the 365 "Songs of the Century" selected by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Recording Industry Association of America.
Two other songs made the list from both "The Sound of Music" ("My Favorite Things" at No. 64 and "Do Re Mi" at No. 8 and "Singin' in the Rain" ("Make 'Em Laugh" at No. 49 and "Good Morning" at No. 72). "West Side Story" also landed three songs: "Somewhere" (No. 20), "America" (No. 35) and "Tonight" (No. 59).
Chosen from 400 nominees, the list was announced in the CBS special "AFI's 100 Years ... 100 Songs," the institute's latest countdown to promote U.S. film history.
