Back in stock for the soundtrack to Academy Award- and Golden Globe-winning film Forrest Gump contains music from many well-known artists. The surprise hit of the 1994 summer movie season traces the life of a half-wit through the major historical events of the 1950s, '60s, and '70s. The soundtrack is a travelogue of the same period, from Elvis Presley's 1956 hit "Hound Dog" to Bob Seger's 1980 hit "Against the Wind."
