Various Artists – Music That Inspired American Graffiti

American Graffiti has been described as ‘one of the most influential of all teen films’. It was released in 1973 and was co-written and directed by Georges Lucas who, four years later, would release the first of the Star Wars movies. We hope you enjoy this collection of classic songs from the Fifties and the Sixties. It is a ‘double whammy’ of nostalgia, appealing not only to those who remember the tracks from this period but also to those who experienced them for the first time as part of the truly great movie that is American Graffiti.
