Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0720616224125 Format: Soundtrack Label: Hollywood Records Manufacturer: Hollywood Records MPN: 162241 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Hollywood Records Release Date: September 12, 2000 Studio: Hollywood Records Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Don't be misled. The name of the film may be Duets, but the soundtrack only features three actual duets. The film centers around wacky characters at a karaoke bar, and the soundtrack follows suit, featuring actors singing! Gwyneth Paltrow joins Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds for a cover of "Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)" and Huey Lewis for a go at Smokey Robinson's "Cruisin'." "Try a Little Tenderness" is run through by Paul Giamatti and Arnold McCuller. Paltrow has a sweet whine in her voice, but it's no match for the husky drawl of Kim Carnes for "Bette Davis Eyes." Huey Lewis is no Joe Cocker with "Feelin' Alright," but it's a valiant rendition. On the other hand, Arnold McCuller's soulful reading of Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird" recasts the song as a spiritual. Duets is a perfect album for parties where "singing" "Copacabana" is a prerequisite. --Rob O'Connor Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Try a Little TendernessCome on now; all this mention of Gwyneth Paltrow is great. But the real show stopper is "Try A Little Tenderness", sung by Paul Giamatti. The duet is sensational !!! I have played the scene over and over a hundred times. I decided to buy the soundtrack just for that one song. Great performance. Rating:  - good karaokegwen paltrow,sultry voice.huey lewis excellent.suprisingly,paul giamatti has talent in the music genre.didn't know he was that talent. Rating: - Duets CDMy husband and I loved the movie, and enjoy every song on the CD. Thanks, Donna O Rating: - GREAT soundtrackUnlike purchasing a whole CD of songs that have one or maybe two songs in a movie I like, I enjoy purchasing the soundtracks of my favorite movies, especially when they are familiar songs that bring back not only memories of the movie but times in your life when they were popular or they marked a special time. It's like having the best of both worlds.. Rating: - duets soundtrack-- a great soundtrack for a romantic night with your spouse. "Just my imagination, cruising are just a few of the wonderful songs on this cd. |
