Barcode: 90771801319

The first ever vinyl reissue of an extraordinarily-unique space-age educational LP. Includes the oft-covered A Shooting Star Is Not A Star and Why Does The Sun Shine? Featuring Leo Leonni cover art and taken from the original atomic-era 1959 master tapes. Written by Hy Zaret and sung by /glazer-tom-dottie-evans.aspx"Tom Glazer & Dottie Evans. Zaret (co-author of Unchained Melody) turned his attention to educational childrens music in the late 1950s, collaborating with Lou Singer on a six-album series called Ballads for the Age of Science. Space Songs stands alone as the most essential volume in a series that also featured songs about energy and motion, experiments, weather, and nature. Space Songs contains Why Does the Sun Shine" (aka The Sun Is a Mass of Incandescent Gas) and A Shooting Star Is Not a Star which were more recently popularized by They Might Be Giants."& delightful and instructive. As a science teacher, I see in these records a most potent force for improving the science literacy of our nation. --DR. MORRIS MEISTER, President, Bronx Community College Track Listing: 1.
