    Description

    Hollywood had reason to be worried in 1941, not the least of which was the attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese that December. Commercial television made its debut in July, giving the public a reason to stay home for entertainment instead of going to a theater. But, the output in Hollywood still gave us some top movies, including Citizen Kane. That movie didn't have an original song in it, and the nine films that featured nominated songs didn't become instant classics. Take a listen to the nominees from 1941 with host Jeff Commings, and decide for yourself if the controversy that surrounded the winning song was warranted.
