...recorded. Ben E King presents us with an all time R&B classic with this offering.
06: The Righteous Brothers - Unchained Melody
Before anyone groans, no it's not Robson & Jerome! Performed by the original artists, Unchained Melody is taken from the movie "Ghost". This version is by far the best I have ever heard and is another all time classic.. We really get to hear the wide pitch variations of Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield and although the song is very slow and sometimes 'whiney', you can't help but like it.
07: Maria McKee - Show Me Heaven
Taken from the Tom Cruise movie "Days of Thunder", Maria McKee really belts out the lyrics here. At the start of the track, you think it is going to be a very soft, gentle song. Wrong! This woman can really reach...

THE SONGS
11 tracks are included on this album; all are from the originalmovie, although some are slightly edited so that they are suitable for a soundtrack album. This editing is barely noticeable though.
1 – She Caught The Katy – As always, this is a great intro to the album. It’s the first song you’ll hear on the film and is very much in the style of blues. A continuous guitar rhythm is followed by an equally continuous drum beat. Brass instruments, such as trumpets are occasionally heard but the real joy is the harmonica. Jake Blues (John Belushi) sings the, typically blues, lyrics well. – 8/10
2 – Peter Gunn Theme – This instrumental follows a same beat as the previous track, as well as style. A continuous...
