Young Man with a Horn is an album that was released by Columbia Records in 1950. It features trumpeter Harry James and singer Doris Day performing songs initially recorded for the soundtrack of the film of the same name.
The film Young Man with a Horn was loosely based on the life of Bix Beiderbecke. [1] The soundtrack was played by trumpeter Harry James and his orchestra. [1] Doris Day, who appears in the film, also sang on some of the album's tracks. [1]
Young Man with a Horn was released by Columbia Records in 1950 as the 10-inch LP CL-6106. [2] According to Billboard, on February 3, 1950, Columbia held an advance screening of the film in Hollywood, along with playback of the new record, for Columbia distributors and dealers, hosted by James and his wife, Betty Grable. [3] Billboard prognosticated, "Disks will get heavy exploitation thru the pic tie-up coincidental to the film's general release." [3]
It was enormously successful commercially, spending 11 weeks at the No. 1 spot on Billboard's album charts, albeit non-consecutively. [4] Day and James shared the 5 percent royalty for album sales. [5]
