One of Walt Disney's most memorable 1 characters is Jiminy Cricket from the studio's 1940 animated 2 feature film "Pinocchio." The tiny, talking cricket nearly steals every scene, especially when he sings "When You Wish Upon A Star." Performed by vaudeville 3 star Cliff Edwards, the original voice of Jiminy Cricket, the Oscar-winning song is one of 25 titles inducted into the 8th Annual National Recording 4 Registry.
According to Librarian of Congress James Billington, "The latest list of selections showcases the diverse beauty, humanity and artistry found in the American soundscape."
R&B pioneer Little Richard earned a spot on the list with his debut 5 single and a song that contributed to the birth of rock and roll, "Tutti Frutti." Released in 1955, it was the first of more than a dozen Top 10 R&B hits Richard collected over the next three years.
Selections for the Registry, which are recommended to Mr. Billington by the National Recording Preservation 6 Board, must be at least 10 years old and deemed "culturally, historically or aesthetically 7 significant."
Among the titles is a 1923 recording of "Canal Street Blues 8" by King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band; a U.S. Marine 9 Corps 10 combat field recording from the Second Battle of Guam; a 1949 spoken-word narration 11 of the popular children's story "The Little Engine That Could"; the original Broadway cast recording of "Gypsy" from 1959; and covering the past 40 years, works by Loretta Lynn, Willie Nelson, Patti Smith, R.E.M. and The Band.
The Band's second album contains several of the quintet's best-known hits, including "Up On Cripple Creek 12." The Band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994.
This year's list marks the third time a rap or hip-hop performance has been selected, "Dear Mama" by the late Tupac Shakur. The National Recording Preservation Board describes the song as a moving tribute to both Tupac's mother and mothers everywhere.
