The first and best musical of the hippie peace and love generation, with a score by Gerome Ragni, James Rado and composer Galt Macdermot. The show and the album were quite different to the usual Broadway fare, but songs such as 'Aquarius', 'Good Morning Starshine', 'Let The Sunshine In' and the title number, soon went on to have a life of their own. The album spent 59 weeks in the US Top 40, 13 of them at number 1, and also did well in the UK. It was also awarded a Grammy for 'best score from an Original Cast album'.
