About The Record:

From the Airport soundtrack, the instrumental, Airport Love Theme by Vincent Bell peaked at No. 31 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and NO. 2 for three weeks on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. The film was the final project for composer Alfred Newman. His health was failing and he was unable to conduct the sessions for his music's recording. The job was handled by Stanley Wilson. Newman did conduct the music heard in the film. He died before the film's release. Newman received his 45th Academy Award nomination posthumously for this film, the most received by a composer at that time.
