This cd is a great collection of what I think a kid in the 50's grew up listening to. They are all staples that you've always heard, and perhaps taken for granted. They are all classics. This is a wonderful collection. I'd give it five stars but it clocks in at 30 minutes.

5.0 out of 5 stars A spectacular sountrack for a spectacular film!!!!, October 14, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Stand By Me: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

Stand By Me is one of those films that if you were born in the late seventies early eighties, like I, you loved to watch simply because it was a coming-of-age film that we could relate to. I was born in 1980, so I would always see the film on television on the weekends. Rob Reiner created a masterpiece and the songs picked for the film are treasures that evoke that sense of nostalgia that movie fans long for. The soundtrack is wonderful. "Ben King's Stand by Me" is powerful when played in the end as the credits role. Perhaps no eyes are dry in that incredible moment. I know mine aren't.

5.0 out of 5 stars What can I say?, July 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Stand By Me: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

This soundtrack has to be one of the best movie soundtracks that I've ever seen. You could not have picked better songs! The movie has been one of my favorites since the first time I saw it, and I still watch it often, in fact, I just watched it this afternoon, which is why I thought to check this out. I am VERY impressed with the movie, the soundtrack, the whole idea of this. If you don't have this cd, you MUST get it. It, as the movie, hits you straight in the heart.
