See the 25 New Entries to the National Recording Registry

The Library of Congress has added Tony Bennett’s “I Left My Heart in San Francisco,” Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine’s “Rhythm Is Gonna Get You” and Run-DMC’s “Raising Hell” to the National Recording Registry, as part of 25 new entries this year.

Newcomers to the National Recording Registry also include the soundtrack to The Sound of Music and radio recordings covering the birth of the United Nations. The Library of Congress selects 25 new titles each year to add to a growing list of recordings honored for their “cultural, historic and aesthetic importance to the American soundscape.”

The recordings selected this year span spoken-word and musical sounds recorded from 1911 to 1996, and include Fleetwood Mac’s “Rumors,” Kenny Loggins’ “Footloose” and The Temptations’ “My Girl,” which was co-written by Smokey Robinson.

“I’m totally overwhelmed by ‘My Girl’ receiving such an honor,” Robinson said in a statement. “As a songwriter, it has become my international anthem. People in countries where English is not the primary language know and sing ‘My Girl’ when I perform it.”

The new selections bring the total number of titles in the National Recording Registry to 500. See the full list of recordings named to the registry below.
