Till the Clouds Roll By is the original soundtrack to the 1946 film with the same title. It was released in 1947 by MGM Records in the same year as a set of four 10-inch 78-rpm shellac records. This marked MGM Records' first venture into the soundtrack album market. The album features performances by notable artists such as Kathryn Grayson, Tony Martin, Judy Garland, Virginia O'Brien, Lena Horne, and June Allyson. The soundtrack includes songs composed by Jerome Kern, including "Ol' Man River," "Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man," and "Look for the Silver Lining."

Background and Production

The soundtrack was produced by Lennie Hayton, who also conducted the MGM Studio Orchestra and Chorus for the film. The album was released in 1947 and was MGM Records' first soundtrack album. Due to the limitations of the 78-rpm format, the songs were abridged versions of those heard in the film. The album was re-released by MGM Records over the years, and Judy Garland's two numbers represented here would be included in most of the compilations of songs from her films.
