Here's a super little site I came across while doing some research into, of all things, the music of Warner Brothers cartoons. It's the National Public Radio's "The 100 most important American musical works of the 20th century and features segments that background some well know musical milestones including the aforementioned Carl Stalling work for Warner Bros and other such notable stories as the origin of Brubeck's classic "Take Five", the stories behind Gone With the Wind, Great Balls of Fire, In The Mood and a great many others. Lots of enjoyable listening here.
