Popeye is the soundtrack album for the 1980 live-action feature film of the same name which features music composed and lyrics written by Harry Nilsson.
Background[]
The soundtrack was composed by Harry Nilsson, who took a break from producing his album "Flash Harry" to score the film. He wrote all the original songs and co-produced the music with producer Bruce Robb at Cherokee Studios. The soundtrack in the film was unusual in that the actors sang some of the songs "live". For that reason, the studio album did not quite match the tracks heard in the film. Van Dyke Parks is credited as a music arranger.
