Episode 38: We’ve Got a Lifetime to Share (1970)

Competition was tight for the Original Song Oscar for songs released in 1970, as six of the 11 Oscar nominees had already won at least one Oscar.

Henry Mancini found himself writing his first song for Julie Andrews, and Leslie Bricusse was gunning for another Oscar with another song from a British musical.
