Not an unprecedented practice at the time: cf. "Psychotic Reaction," by the Count Five and Brenton Wood, respectively, as just one example. Or the various early-Sixties artists on Scepter/Wand who all sang over the same Luther Dixon backing tracks.

DG:

Saw "Fences" last night and yeah....you can tell it was a play. It was well-done (as were the performances) but it's very talky & isn't "opened up" that much. August Wilson actually wrote the screenplay years ago (he died in '05) but it didn't get filmed until now (he insisted on an African-American director & I guess Denzel had enough clout to get it done). I'm mixed on "La La Land"---the last 40 or so minutes are great but it's a little clunky until then. Great score but I still think they sort of miscast it---and Emma Stone should really eat something.
