For all of you wondering who the composed the version of "Por Una Cabeza" in True Lies, his name is "WILLIAM SCHIMMEL". The name of the album is "Tango Project/Tango Collection".

Great song....hope that helped.

The name of the fantastic Tango (which one doesn't find on this soundtrack) is: Por Una Cabeza from Carlos Gardel

The name of the song that you are looking for when Jamie Lee Curtis walks into the room playing the hooker is called "I Never Thought I'd See The Day" by Sade it's off her album Love is stronger than pride

To answer the question of music fan from MO, the name of the tango is Por una cabeza. It's a great tango song...

yeah, not bad i guess apart from the tango thing. for those of you who're interested you can find por una cabeza on the soundtrack to "scent of a woman" which contains a lot of other good stuff

Hi,
I too love the Tango song, and as someone here said it is called "Por Una Cabeza" and is by Carlos Gardel. If that is what you meant when you said you want to locate it. Hope I was of help.

A similar version of this song is found on "A Scent of a Woman" soundtrack. I don't know if it is the same exact version but it is the intrumental version. Carlos Gardel was the original which acutally (in my opinion) doesn't sound as well.

Tracks 1 and 6 are great, but the tango is missing. The cd is fair in general.

The song playing when Jamie Lee Curtis enters the hotel room is indeed by Sade: "I Never Thought I'd See the Day" off Sade's "Stronger Than Pride" album. That song along with John Hiatt's "Alone in the Dark" is what drew me to the soundtrack in the first place. I don't like the practice of adding or deleting songs from the original score, and the added songs on this soundtrack certainly don't seem in keeping with the rest of the tracks, so this soundtrack gets only a 3-star "fair" from me.

I really appreciate another fan's review pointing out that The Tango is not (inexplicably) included on this CD. Hope is at hand, however -- search for "Por Una Cabeza" (song title) on Amazon to find this particular tango. The closest one I found was on the CD titled "The Tango Project". Beware of different versions -- orchestration, pace, etc. -- this was the closest I found to the movie version. Was very pleased with Amazon's search; only caught "Por Uno" as the movies credits flashed by, but was able to search out a number of CD's with this song on them, listen to samples of various styles, and learn a little bit about tango musica ... really astonishing, however, that they did not put that song on the movie CD! Not to worry, however ... Amazon's search can find that song, and possibly open a whole new world of music-you-like.
