| | CLASSIC TRACKS: JOHN COLTRANE'S "MY FAVORITE THINGS" |
 | | It's hard to say what it was about "My Favorite Things" that struck such a responsive chord in the listening public, but it was an immediate success. |
 | | The songwriting credit belongs to Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, who penned the song for their immortal 1959 Broadway musical, The Sound of Music. |
 | | At 13 minutes, 41 seconds in length, his original recorded version of the song, tracked October 21, 1960, at Atlantic Studios in New York, goes places even the world-traveling Von Trapp family (who inspired The Sound of Music) never dreamed of. |
