5.0 out of 5 stars these needed to be added!, January 8, 2003

By	Desiree (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

if these songs weren't added all together on another soundtrack, that would've been a travesty! the movie is full of great songs and it was crazy that these weren't on the first soundtrack... maybe they weren't expecting it to do so well. People who don't even like the movie so much seem to love the soundtrack anyway

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost Perfect, December 9, 2004

By	Eclectic Revisited "Charlie" (Arizona) - See all my reviews

Unless you're from Brain(less)tree, Mass.you'll probably like most of the tunes on this package, the ones with real feeling. For one who was there when these songs were originally popular, I can tell you they evoke real memories of the time. They catch the early 60s' mindset. Forty years after "Cry to Me", Solomon Burke was still recording and making appearances. Why they left this song out on the initial album is beyond me. It played as Johnny and Baby first made love, a significant turn in the movie. "Some Kind of Wonderful" (not to be confused with a song by Grank Funk Railroad of the same name) was popular a couple of years before the movie's timeframe. "Wipeout" was a new song that summer, liked by all the teens. "Do you Love Me?" was a recent hit and upon its use in the movie inspired the aging Contours to go on tour again. If they had included "Hey, Baby" from 1962 (with Texas bluesman Delbert McClinton on the background blues harp)and the song apparently written for the movie and done by Bill Medley of the Righteous Brothers and Jennifer Warnes, the other songs could have been done away with. Don't let any negative review from an unhip, inhibited reviewer with a banned-in-Boston hangup influence you. This is one you'll want to have. Shortly after Baby and Johnny's summer, JFK was killed in Dallas, then came the Beatles and the end of an era.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great!, February 14, 2000

By	Tega (PA) - See all my reviews

This soundtrack captures the emotions of the movie more so than the original. The first CD is still very good, but this one is always in my CD player. I have watched the movie numerous times, and love it every time! "Some Kind of Wonderful" "Cry To Me" & "These Arms of Mine" are my favorites. Even if the movie wasn't a personal favorite, this CD is a mix of great oldies anyone can enjoy.
