Gloria Grahame and Gene Nelson in the 1955 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical film “Oklahoma!”. The song is called “All ‘Er Nothin’”, with Grahame and Nelson doing their own singing. The film’s soundtrack album became one of the most successful movie albums ever released. It was more successful than the 1943 original Broadway cast album of “Oklahoma!”, which was the biggest stage hit of its time. The soundtrack charted No. 1 on the Billboard Pop Album Chart in 1956 and has been in continual print. On July 8, 1958, it became the first album to be certified “Gold” by the RIAA, and was later certified “2x multi-platinum” on April 1, 1992.
