The Fabulous Baker Boys.......2007-05-07

We've had The Fabulous Baker Boys video for over 15 years and always enjoyed the soundtrack. When I saw it for sale it was natural to want to have it for our car music system. Happily, it features the instrumentals rather than Michelle Pfeiffer (tho her singing wasn't bad, either).

Doesn't meet expectations.......2006-08-26

If you liked the movie, don't buy the soundtrack, because what you liked about the movie isn't on the soundtrack! Listening to the soundtrack left us frustrated and wondering where all the good music was!

Where's the goods?.......2006-04-23

It's been a long time since I purchased this Soundtrack(?)Album and since then I've p##sed-off about the lack of what's so good about the movie not being on this album. Where's all the tricky piano interludes including the jazz club gigs and Jeff's(of course it's not really his)solo stuff and the brothers singing Sweet Sixteen. But the worst of all is the total lack of Michelle's singing. From her audition and that incredible More Than You Know to her debut and Ten Cents a Dance to the montage of Can't Take My Eyes Off of You to the big time and The Look of Love. Where are they?

For that matter where's Michelle's album. Singers always want to be actors and actors be singers. This has got to be the first case of an actor who didn't want to be a singer and the real irony is this one's got a voice, one of soul and character.

So anyway, soundtrack albums usually are from the movie and rather than shorten the numbers they extended full versions and seldom leave you longing for what's not there. This is a very big exception. There appears to be material that's not from the original soundtrack. If I'm mistaken, shoot me, but I don't remember some of this stuff and it certainly wasn't what I was buying this CD to hear. It's sorta like the photo on the album, nice picture but it's not in the movie.

The two star rating isn't for the quality of the material on the album, it's for not filling the standard requirements of a soundtrack album. It leaves much to be desired.

Expected more piano solos.......2004-06-30

I just happened to catch the movie on cable a couple of weeks ago and really liked the piano solos. When I ordered this CD, I was expecting to hear a lot of this type of music. What this one contains is more orchastra/quartet music. If this is your interest, you may rate this one 5 stars.

I thought Michelle Pfeiffer's "My Funny Valentine" was the best song on CD.
