Bugsy Malone is the soundtrack for the 1976 musical film of the same name, released on Polydor in 1976. All songs were composed by Paul Williams, utilizing musical styles that were popular during the "Roaring Twenties" setting of the film, such as blues, jazz, ragtime, and swing. Williams also performs three songs on the soundtrack; despite the fact that the rest of the songs are performed by different singers, Williams is credited with performing these in lieu of proper credits on the album cover. Among other accolades, the soundtrack earned Williams his second nomination for Best Original Score at the 49th Academy Awards. Another nominee for this same award was Roger Kellaway's score for A Star Is Born, another film to which Williams contributed songs; in fact, one of said songs, "Evergreen", co-written with Barbra Streisand, did win the Academy Award for Best Original Song. 1998 saw the release of an original cast recording of the National Youth Music Theatre's adaptation of Bugsy Malone. Like the earlier stage adaptation, it featured two songs that were cut from the 1976 film, "That's Why They Call Him Dandy" and "Show Business", as well as newly written incidental music by John Pearson, and a libretto composed by Alan Parker.
