41 Original Hits From The Soundtrack Of American Graffiti is the official soundtrack album of the film American Graffiti. Though the movie American Graffiti is well known for launching the careers of director George Lucas and actors Ron Howard, Richard Dreyfuss, Suzanne Somers and Harrison Ford, the movie stands out for its ability to accurately reflect the music of the period in which it is set.

Included in the film, but not on the soundtrack, are "Gee" by The Crows, "Louie, Louie" by Flash Cadillac & the Continental Kids, and Ford's a cappella rendition of "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes."
