The original soundtrack to the 1956 Columbia film The Eddy Duchin Story was released by Decca Records.
The album was released as a 12-inch LP (Decca DL 8289) and as a set of three 7-inch 45-rpm EPs (Decca ED 844).
Billboard reviewed the LP in its issue from 28 April 1956, describing it as follows: "The LP spotlights Carmen Cavallaro, who impersonates Duchin on the soundtrack, while Tyrone Power fakes the keyboard work on screen. Cavallaro plays a group of nostalgic standards [...] popularized by the late society bandleader in a frothy, sophisticated style." The magazine was very positive on the LP's sales potential: "There are plenty of packages designed to cash in on Columbia's forthcoming bio-musical, 'The Eddy Duchin Story,' [...] but the soundtrack version should grab off the major share of spins and sales."
The album peaked at number 1 on Billboards Best Selling Pop Albums and Pop Instrumentals charts. It finished 1956 as the fourth best-selling album of the year in the United States according to the magazine.
