Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is one of those movies that used to be a kind of annual event. Like The Wizard of Oz, or Born Free, or all of those wonderful Christmas specials.
So, as I was wandering around the YouTubes today, I found a clip where a guy mentioned off-hand that the orchestration for the song “Pure Imagination” from that film was phenomenal, so I gave it a listen, and you know what? There is a bit of magic in it. Even for an old guy like me.
Maybe for you too…
