Although some say that Hair is seriously dated, I cannot believe that. The energy still mesmerizes and the messages still ring true today.

This album is becoming a favorite of mine at record speed. Not only do I absolutely love the movie, but the music is spectacular. I got my whole family addicted to the movie & the soundtrack, but who could blame me (or them)?? It's irresistable! The cast is fantastic, I don't even think I could pick a favorite song. If you want a musical that lightens your spirit, touches your heart, and gives you great music to cruise on the road to... this is for you.

To the music fan from Minnesota: the "lyrics" are from Shakespeare. It probably helps to note that the writers of "Hair" also wrote a musical based on Shakespeare's "Two Gentlemen From Verona." They were well-versed, so to speak.

Unlike the reviewer from Videohound's Soundtracks, I actually like this album, just as I like the movie. Twyla Tharp's choreography is stunning, and Treat Williams, John Savage (John Savage can sing? Who knew?), Beverly D'Angelo and the others are quite delightful. Milos Forman is a superb filmmaker, but I think (sadly) musicals have somehow gone out of style, and it takes a brave director to tackle one (witness Alan Parker's EVITA).

Although the content is different from the Broadway show,the actual singing,musicians,and recording are superior! Although I sorely miss "Don't Put It Down".(i'm falling thru a hole in the flag....)

One of the only Broadway shows that turned out to be a better movie! One sees the early years of such stars as Treat Williams, Beverly DiAngelo, and Nell Carter. A phenominal array of some of the best songs from the disjointed play.

I recently went to the off broadway production of Hair and it made me reminisce about when I watched the movie over and over again years ago. I went to buy an inexpensive copy of the movie soundtrack on Amazon after seeing the off-broadway musical and it was exactly as I remembered. The cd shipped fast and was in excellent condition. Made for nice memories.

I received exactly what I wanted and exactly what was advertised. This music still moves me after all these years.

This CD includes all of the songs written for the musical and is sung by the original cast. It contains 32 tracks which includes never before released songs as well as songs that weren't included in the production. END

From classic songs like Hair to others you wouldn't be familiar with unless you saw the movie (or play), just about every song is captivating.

Fascinating lyrics of this song have been haunting me. Was wondering who wrote this particular song. This song is not in the original broadway play, I believe. Have been listening to the sound-track of the 1979 movie version of 'Hair'. This piece has been cut from the movie itself. Help!
