"Ain't no mountain high enough" & all your recommendations convinced me ! I was so happy when i heard, singing & dancing around ! Very nice musical sountrack by John Williams - but my fav song sealed the deal !

John Williams is by far the most versatile contemporary composer of any medium; his film scores cover all genres of music styles and fill the movies with haunting melodies.

Stepmom is among his greatest triumphs as a composer, with music that is gentle and soothing, perfect to listen to in the bathtub, in the car on the way to work, or at home on a rainy night. There is a soul to this music, it conjures imagery and fills you with emotion; it is truly a masterpiece and a must have for any CD collector.

Artist/Band: Townes Van Zandt

Lyrics for Song: If I Needed You

Lyrics for Album: Legend

If I needed you would you come to me,

Would you come to me, and ease my pain?

If you needed me

I would come to you

I'd swim the seas for to ease your pain

In the night forlorn the morning's born

And the morning shines with the lights of love

You will miss sunrise if you close your eyes

That would break my heart in two

The lady's with me now since I showed her how

To lay her lily hand in mine

Loop and Lil agree she's a sight to see

And a treasure for the poor to find

This is not the typical Williams score. It's very slow-moving and not fun to listen to. I hate to say it, but the best song on here is Ain't No Mountain High Enough. The other songs are dull and boring--no entertainment value whatsoever. If your looking for the genius of John Williams, don't buy this cd, because its not here. Get the Star Wars soundtracks if you want one of Williams' brilliant scores.

Just to answer you, A Dub (even though it's been exactly a year), the song is "Right Back Where We Started From" and it's by Maxine Nightingale. :)

With the exception of 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough', this CD borders on flawless. Granted, the film was an awful drag, but once again Williams shows that his music is so perfect, it can stand alone perfectly outside of the maudlin drek of the film it was attached to.

Not only was the movie a great show but the music also wants you to sing along with it! I have wanted this sound track when I first saw the movie...When I finally got it I listened to it 24/7...and I still do!

I really like this cd a lot especially that song "Aint no mountain high enough" i thought that was a really awesome song

I though that this Cd was great! After seeing the movie, I knew I had to buy this soundtrack! It's the greatest! I would recommend this to a friend, and i especially like "Ain't No Mountain High Enough"!
