2.0 out of 5 stars They Omitted the Negro Spiritual by Jennifer Bynum, August 15, 2005

Why on earth doesn't the soundtrack contain the Negro Spiritual: "Change Mah Name" or "Changed Muh Name"by Jennifer Bynum [Green]. She performs the song in a pivotal moment in the film and merges, with excellence, an operatic element that is sheerly captivating. They are wholly remiss in not compiling this soundtrack differently, so as to inconspicuously admit this into the body of music offered on the CD.

3.0 out of 5 stars licensing problems?, March 6, 2006

What's here is fine, but not all of the soundtrack's tunes are here. Another reviewer complained about a number from the movie not being here, and he has a point, but the song was part of the plot, not technically part of the backing tracks. What I'm referring to is most likely the producers weighing the commercial value of each track against it's licensing cost, and making cuts accordingly. This is a BS policy in most cases. Unless an artist is totally unreasonable in negotiating their music's licensing, every track should be represented. While watching a movie more than once over a short period of time is often -not- a pleasure, a properly done soundtrack can give the listener the pleasure of the movie experience over and over again. For that, we need all of the tunes.

I would have paid double the price of this cd if only it had the Jennifer Bynum Green solo Changed Muh Name. But they didn't so I ain't buyin.

Anyone know where to find this song? It's one of the most moving, beautiful pieces in the history of recording sound.
