5.0 out of 5 stars Takes you back to Motown in the 60's., September 16, 2002
By Go Bulldogs (Fresno State University, CA United States) - See all my reviews
An unbelievable collection of songs from the greatest soul artists of our generation. The two Burt Bacharach songs, "The Look of Love" and "Walk on By," performed by Issac Hayes, are great cover songs that were included, but the one song excluded from this soundtrack that was in the movie is the song, "Twenty-five miles" by Edwin Starr. That song was played when Anthony and Kirby drive away in their get-away car after Kirby roughs up a guy and loses his prosthetic leg. That's my favorite song in the movie that was somehow left out. Its alright though, there are plenty of treats here to soothe your soul. The Sly and Family Stone, The O'Jays, James Brown, and Barry White what else could you ask for. What truely makes this soundtrack beautiful however, are all the slower songs: "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man" by Aretha Franklin, "Tired of Being Alone" by Al Green and "Miss You" by Melvin and The Blue Notes. I highly recommend this soundtrack to music lovers everywhere and I give this soundtrack my highest rating, 10 stars. I also recommend Volume II, its not as great as Volume I but it comes pretty close.

5.0 out of 5 stars An great soundtrack that transcends retro nostalgia, December 1, 1999
This disc evokes a sense of place, time, mood and drama as any good soundtrack should...but most don't. While containing only one piece scored specifically for the movie (Danny Elfman's eerie, ominous title theme), the chosen tracks perfectly serve the film by going beyond the obvious retro standards to those true timeless gems that sound great and project the perfect the atmosphere for this passionate, tragic story.
