In a press release sent out earlier today, Librarian of Congress James H. Billington named 25 new sound recordings to the registry that have been recognized for their cultural, artistic and/or historical significance to American society and the nation’s audio legacy.

Some of the standout sound recordings added include The Doors' self-titled debut album, The Righteous Brothers' "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" and radio coverage of the 1945 funeral of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
