A romantic's collection if ever there was one, this cachet of songs graced the equally heart-tugging film. King of the Croon and Swoon, Nat King Cole's "Stardust" is probably the most obvious of the young lovers' themes here. Louis Armstrong and Jimmy Durante, ordinarily not the most romantic of sorts, prove themselves worthy contenders with "A Kiss to Build a Dream On" and "As Time Goes By," respectively. "In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning" gets an elegantly simple treatment from Carly Simon, and Tammy Wynette's "Stand by Your Man" confirms her status as the late, great Queen of Country. The only disappointments with this collection are the absence of heart-wrenching numbers by Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, or even Johnny Mathis; and the inclusion of the horrendous rendition of "When I Fall in Love" by the over-rated Celine Dion with Clive Griffin. --Steve Gdula
By: biggramma GOOD MUSICAL SONGS THIS CD COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL CASE AND ALL ARTWORK INCLUDED. HAS SOME SURFACE SCRACHES THAT DO NOT AFFECT THE PLAY BACK. ENJOY!
A classic soundtrack for a classic romance. This is one of the few album/soundtracks, in which I never skip a song, because each one is good and perfect. Each song's lyrics describes the relantionship perfect, about two people who don't meet intill the very end. Each song talk about the longing of each other and love. " As time goes by" by Jimmy Durante is pretty good and he puts his print on the famous song. " Stardust" by Nat King Cole is very romantic, and tells of two people who long to be together. " A wink and a smile" by Harry Conick Jr. tells of two people are meant for each other ( just like the main characters of the movie ). The theme to " An affair to remeber" is here, and is of course what the movie ( sleepless in seattle ) makes reference to! It's a gem of an album, and is romantic as the movie."Moonlight And Love Songs Never Out Of Date" "You must remember this A kiss is still a kiss A sigh is just a sigh The fundamental things apply As time goes by And when two lovers woo They still say "I love you" On that you can rely No matter what the future brings As time goes by Moonlight and love songs never out of date..."
True to the lyrics of the first track, "As Time Goes By," moonlight and love songs are never out of date. They are eternal. They are endless. And they never go out of style. This delightful soundtrack consists of twelve beautiful and timeless love songs to warm the heart as interpreted by various artists.
1."As Time Goes By" - Jimmy Durante 2."A Kiss To Build A Dream On" - Louis Armstrong 3."Stardust" - Nat King Cole 4."Makin' Whoopee - Dr. John featuring Rickie Lee Jones 5. "In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning" - Carly Simon 6."Back In The Saddle Again" - Gene Autry 7."Bye Bye Blackbird" - Joe Cocker 8."A Wink And A Smile" - Harry Connick, Jr. 9."Stand By Your Man" - Tammy Wynette 10."An Affair To Remember" - Instrumental 11."Make Someone Happy" - Jimmy Durante 12."When I Fall In Love" - Celine Dion and Clive Griffin
The last track is the cream of the crop, "When I Fall In Love," a compositon by Victor Young and Edward Heyman. Celine Dion and Clive Griffin rendered this duet beautifully. This classic has been recorded and performed by numerous singers and musicians but I must admit that this is one of the best versions I've ever heard. It's one of my all-time favorites and it's also my wedding "first dance" song. Celine and Clive's great voices blended perfectly and the arrangement by Jeremy Lubbock is simply marvelous. This is one gem of a song.
"When I fall in love, it will be forever or I'll never fall in love In a restless world like this is love has ended before it's begun And too many moonlight kisses seem to cool in the warmth of the sun If I give my heart, it will be completely or I'll never give my heart And the moment I can feel that You feel that way too Is when I fall in love with you..."
Other noteworthy tracks are Hoagy Carmichael/Mitchell Parish's ultimate love song of all-time, "Stardust," "An Affair To Remember," "A Kiss To Build A Dream On," "A Wink And A Smile," "As Time Goes By" and "In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning."
According to Nora Ephron, Soundtrack Executive Producer: "words and music are unbeatable combination. Put them together and you get love." She's absolutely right and I agree with her. Music is the universal language of the soul. As long as there's music, there will always be love.
I highly recommend this CD. You will enjoy listening to it and will surely be a nice addition to your collection of original motion picture soundtracks. This is a wonderful CD OK, so it is a little sappy, but these are fine versions of classic standards. Dr. John and Jimmy Durante in one little package, how could you resist. And, by the way, while I'm not a Celine fan, "When I Fall in Love" is one of the finest songs ever written, in not only for it's succinct-ness. This rendition is fine, and not as schmaltzy as she usually is.
