An Exhaustive Range of Music!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Paramount On Parade (Paperback)
From 1929's "The Dance of Life" (the song is "True Blue Lou," popularized by Tony Benett) to 1994's "Forrest Gump (a really moving score by Alan Silvestri), this book of sheetmusic encompasses 65 years of Paramount films! You simply can't lose; there is truly something for everyone here! Grandma might love to sing along with Bob Hope's "Buttons & Bows." While the teenagers will like rock songs from "Footloose," Beverly Hills Cop" or or "Top Gun."There are wonderfully quirky entries like, "Come Saturday Morning" from the Liza Minelli starrer, "The Sterile Cuckoo," and beloved perennials like, "That's Amore," and "Call me Irresponsible." What also makes this sheetmusic intresting, is the inclusion of Main Title Scores from films as varied as "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" to "The Firm." I just love my copy!
