About Various Artists - Soundtracks - Duets (2000 Film)
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 Amazon.com

My husband and I loved the movie, and enjoy every song on the CD. Thanks, Donna O
October 6, 2008Unlike 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..
July 20, 2008a great soundtrack for a romantic night with your spouse. "Just my imagination, cruising are just a few of the wonderful songs on this cd.

This is worth listening to. Everyone has heard Gwen and Mr. Lewis belt out this song on the radio, "I love it when we're crusin' together" THIS is where that song is from. It wasn't a big box office movie but it WAS a great one. If you take the time to watch it, you will recignize a lot of familiar faces! Great Great Great Great Great Movie! Buy it!!!
