"Theme from A Summer Place" is a song with lyrics by Mack Discant and music by Max Steiner, written for the 1959 film A Summer Place, which starred Sandra Dee and Troy Donahue.
It was also recorded for the film as an instrumental by Hugo Winterhalter.
The best-known version of the theme is an instrumental version by Percy Faith and his Orchestra that was a number-one hit for nine weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1960.
"Theme From A Summer Place" remains the longest-running number one instrumental in the history of the Hot 100.
The theme has become a canonical representation of the easy listening genre, and is considered by some to be the definitive easy listening track of all time.
