The song is best known as the English-language version of the main theme from The Godfather, with music composed by Nino Rota. Andy Williams’ recording helped bring this memorable film theme to a broad international audience during the 1970s. This printed musical score preserves a piece of the era’s popular music and film culture, when internationally successful songs and movie themes were circulated not only through records and radio but also through printed sheet music.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"776\" data-end=\"1096\"\u003ePublished in Istanbul by Musiki Ar-Ak Evi, the sheet belongs to the output of one of the notable music publishers and printing houses active in Turkey during the 1960s and 1970s.
