Ok, maybe you can dig up Ray Kennedy and his "brothers in the night" from the movie Uncommon Valor (w Gene Hackman/Patrick Swayze/former Boxer Randall "Tex" Cobb) and do a Lost Soundtrack on just that song. Laughs, ok there were 2 other tracks as well, but how can you beat that final scene of Randall "Tex" Cobb doing some martial arts in the wind, or is tai chi?? Laughs…into the wind to the stylings of …"we’re all brothers in the night, reaching out for somethin’ right." I think I feel a tear welling up. Laughs.

[Randall "tex" Cobb also is famous, or infamous for his fight against Larry Holmes at the Astrodome for the heavyweight title, it was a brutal affair that left Howard Cossell in shock.]

[...] You may be wondering: who’s the guy in the middle who sounds suspiciously like Michael McDonald, and subsequently just makes me wish that the song really did feature Michael McDonald? Why, it’s none other than Joe "Bean" Esposito, the star of our very first LOST SOUNDTRACK CLASSICS series! Yes, the man who sings "You’re The Best" also is featured on "Piano In The Dark," and was even nominated, along with Russell, for Best Pop Duo at the 1988 Grammy Awards. [...]

wow, what a complete & fulfilling exhumation of a ‘lost’ song!

I’d nominate for your series another truly ‘lost’ song – the Joni Mitchell song deleted after the promo issue of the ‘Grace of My Heart’ soundtrack. (MCA?) didn’t have the licensing! It was replaced by Shawn Colvin covering the same song. Shawn is also in the movie, and of course Allison Anders’ quasi-kinda-sorta Carole King biopic practically BEGS an interview… with variations on ‘what were you thinking??’ Don’t get me wrong, I love it, but boy is it weird when considering all the true-life tales of the girl-group/’60s era it stitches together.

There’s also a great old James Carr song that comes during the big clinch scene in ‘Only You’ when Andrew McCarthy and Helen Hunt dance and fall in love…

I think I might have that Southside Johnny Tuff Turf song on a 45…

Of Montreal or Matt Pond PA covered ‘Holiday Road’ a year or so ago.

Thanks Robert … I hadn’t actually seen that post, but managed to track down all the individual tracks a couple of years ago and made my own soundtrack!
