Original Soundtrack - Mr. Holland`s Opus

Artist:

Original Soundtrack

Description:

Producers: Shawn Stockman, Julia Fordham, Stephen McLaughlin, Michael Kamen, Christopher Brooks.
Engineers: Tim Boyle.
Includes liner notes by Stephen R. Herek.
Michael Kamen`s arrangement of "An American Symphony (Mr. Holland`s Opus)" won a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Arrangement.
If you can listen to Shawn Stockman sing "Visions of a Sunset" without at least one chill jutting up your spine, without thinking about a lost love or a found one, or without just marveling at the vocal instrument the man possesses...well, perhaps you should write a book about what it`s like to live without a soul. Is Stockman`s wondrous ballad, written immediately after he viewed the film, worth the price of admission? Just about. It`s one of only two current songs on the disc (Julian Lennon`s "Cole`s Song" is the other), but if you like soundtracks, this one has some solid radio-ready gems. Among them are Stevie Wonder`s raucous, two-chord celebration of just plain feeling good (and, some have argued, the greatest Motown single of all time), "Uptight (Everything`s Alright)"; John Lennon`s timeless anthem "Imagine"; and Ray Charles` "I Got A Woman," which will probably sound just as good in 2996 as it does now.
