Description

“How Do You Keep the Music Playing?” is a celebrated pop and adult contemporary ballad written by French composer Michel Legrand, with lyrics by the legendary American songwriting duo Alan and Marilyn Bergman. Introduced in 1982, the song was originally recorded as a duet by R&B vocalists James Ingram and Patti Austin for the romantic comedy film Best Friends. Released as a standalone single in April 1983, it became a substantial hit, peaking at No. 5 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart and earning an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song.
