Sleepless in Seattle – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack [CD]

Description

A romantic’s collection if ever there was one, this cachet of songs graced the equally heart-tugging film. King of the Croon and Swoon, Nat King Cole’s “Stardust” is probably the most obvious of the young lovers’ themes here. Louis Armstrong and Jimmy Durante, ordinarily not the most romantic of sorts, prove themselves worthy contenders with “A Kiss to Build a Dream On” and “As Time Goes By,” respectively. “In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning” gets an elegantly simple treatment from Carly Simon, and Tammy Wynette’s “Stand by Your Man” confirms her status as the late, great Queen of Country. The only disappointments with this collection are the absence of heart-wrenching numbers by Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, or even Johnny Mathis; and the inclusion of the horrendous rendition of “When I Fall in Love” by the over-rated Celine Dion with Clive Griffin.
