As with most of Martin Scorsese's movies, the Goodfellas music soundtrack adds to the brilliance of the movie with perfectly placed songs. It features a relentless soundtrack full of Italian crooners, American standards, and several classic pop-rock songs. The featured music at once provides a sense of familiarity while underscoring thematic elements and character personalities. Released in 1990, Goodfellas is based on Nicholas Pileggi's 1985 book Wiseguy: Life in a Mafia Family, which documents the experiences of American gangster Henry Hill. It is considered one of Scorsese's best as well as one of the greatest mob movies of all time and the Goodfellas music soundtrack adds to its legacy.
In Goodfellas, Hill (Ray Liotta) recounts 25 years of working for the Lucchese crime family, working alongside mob colleagues Jimmy Conway (Robert De Niro) and Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci), but knows that he'll never become a "Made Man" due to his lack of pure Italian blood.
