This soundtrack is absolutely breathtaking. From the beautiful score to Jennifer Holliday's Gospel instilled original songs, the soundtrack is destined to be a favorite.

Not often do we get new songs sung by Jennifer Holliday. We have always known her vocal talents to be huge, now we learn her song writing skills are as well! Buy this cd!!

Once more the greatest living female singer proves her worth. Get this fantastic lady an album deal. Brilliant to hear original songs written and sung by Jenifer Holliday. I must point out that the rest of the score is fantastic too, Conrad Pope doing a first class job.
Get the lady an album deal now..

5.0 out of 5 stars Jennifer Holliday ROCKS!!!!, November 6, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Rising Place (Audio CD)

WOW! What a fantastic soundtrack. Forget about Conrad's score, this album is DRIVEN by HOLLIDAY's power packed original songs and performances. Okay, don't forget about Conrad. that wouldn't be nice. He did a nice job too. BUT JENNIFER???? Awesome. Really worth the sheckles for the album. Oh, by the way Tim, why doesn't it say "With Original Songs by Jennifer Holliday" on the cover art? Shouldn't it? Damn well it should. She's the fashizzle!
