Music: Great Movie Songs
A lot of songs that we associate with a specific movie, such as As Time Goes By, didn't debut in the film. This list is for those that did. Uploaded by images.fanpop.com.
This recognition isn’t for songs that were incorporated into a movie’s soundtrack, but for songs that made their debut in a film. Lots of wonderful choices, but here are my top ten.
No. 10, from Rocky, “Gonna Fly Now”

Outstanding selections – and you’re right about “Rainbow” being number 1. I’d like to include Astaire’s Putting on My Top hat, too, but don’t know what I bump to get it in.
