The use of Scott Joplin's ragtime music was a key element in the movie's huge success. Not only did the movie's score win an Academy Award, but Joplin's 1902 song "The Entertainer", featured in the film, became a smash hit and reached #3 on the Billboard charts In 1974, some 72 years after it was written. The movie rekindled interest in ragtime music and a renewed appreciation of Scott Joplin's work.
