Free Music Notes for A Bronx Tale: Music From The Motion PictureFree Music Review: Soundtrack to a good shakedown Hit: 5 Stars
Excellent compilation of oldies from the 50s and 60s and that appeared in DeNiro's directorial debut, A Bronx Tale.
DeNiro, who worked so many times with Scorsese, likes to play scenes with a complete song to compliment the action or the drama. And he knows that to stage a good beating, you need an oldie hit in the background. And he likes to lay it on, too, perhaps not learning the restraint Scorsese had. Amazingly, DeNiro does not play a gangster in the film, so there actually is restraint.
When I'm beating someone down, stomping on their face and smashing a chair over their head, I always have this album on. It doesn't really matter where you start it from, or what era you want, or what genre, everything works.
Free Music Review: Fantastic! Hit: 5 Stars
A fantastic cornucopia of musical genres! Motown, Doo Wop and a few standards! When this music was originally released, I wasn't born or was very young..so I thank the movie for this soundtrack for introducing me to some great music! I can listen to "I Only Have Eyes For You" a zillion times and never tire of it..and if that wasn't enough, this soundtracks also contains great songs by the likes of: Jerry Butler, The Moody Blues, Jimi Hendrix, James Brown, The Impressions, Donald Byrd and even Dean Martin! It's a great mix of genres..and I simply love it. Had I not loved the movie so much and felt all the music was fitting, I would never have discovered this great music! You won't be disappointed...absolutely wonderful!
Free Music Review: A Primo Collection Hit: 5 Stars
One of the greatest soundtracks ever. The mixture of music on this one works so well together from such great artists as Dean Martin, Della Reese to James Brown and The Jimi Hendrix Experience to name a few. You can play this CD anywhere at anytime and never get tired of hearing such old classics that are timeless and put together in an order that play with your emotions from beginning to end. One question though, How many soundtracks does "Nights In White Satin" appear in, anyway????!!!!
Free Music Review: A blast from the past. Hit: 5 Stars
I can't get enough of this CD. The songs are from an era when dirty words and lude comments were not the norm. The sentamentalities expressed in every record are so inviting. It is truly a pleasure to have a CD that my children can listen to and enjoy. My four year old knows the words to Dean Martin singing Ain't That a Kick in the Head. Now, that's a kick in the head.This CD was the best birthday present I've received in a long time. It truly is the gift that keeps giving.
Free Music Review: Beautiful Sounds of the Era Hit: 5 Stars
This CD is a fantastic sample of the "Do-Op" era. Cool Change's opening song, "Streets of the Bronx" set the tone for the movie. Some wonderful groups started "on the streets of the Bronx". "Dion and the Belmonts". (Belmont Avenue), the "Demensions", (not on this CD), and others.
The Flamingos, "I only have eyes for you" bring back a flood of memories of the "make-out" days gone by...
