"This music made a good movie great! It is a prime example of how previously recorded music can do so much to set the tone, and capture to spirit of the times of a film.A great collection of songs, which (like the movie) spans a couple of generations and styles. It goes so much farther that to doo-wop roots, with "The Ten Commandments of Love", "For Your Precious Love". The tracks cover Jimi Hendrix's "All Along the Watchtower", James Brown's "Man's Man's Man's World" the Four Tops, and a host of others, from Wilson Pickett to the Moody Blues.The title song, "On the Streets of the Bronx" is a wonderful touching homage to a great era of music, that "good old harmony" of streetcorner doo-wop. Where I wanna be, indeed!"
ONE OF THE BEST SOUNDTRACKS EVER MADE!!!

"It's not easy to find a soundtrack with one good song after another. This one is defintely worth owning. Done in true DeNiro style...award winning! A super great 'make-out' 'remember-when' soundtrack that does not disappoint.
Cuddle up with your baby, and enjoy!"
Fantastic!

"A fantastic cornucopia of musical genres! Motown, Doo Wop and a few standards! When this music was originally released, I wasn't born or was very young..so I thank the movie for this soundtrack for introducing me to some great music! I can listen to "I Only Have Eyes For You" a zillion times and never tire of it..and if that wasn't enough, this soundtracks also contains great songs by the likes of: Jerry Butler, The Moody Blues, Jimi Hendrix, James Brown, The Impressions, Donald Byrd and even Dean Martin! It's a great mix of genres..and I simply love it. Had I not loved the movie so much and felt all the music was fitting, I would never have discovered this great music! You won't be disappointed...absolutely wonderful!"
A Primo Collection

"One of the greatest soundtracks ever. The mixture of music on this one works so well together from such great artists as Dean Martin, Della Reese to James Brown and The Jimi Hendrix Experience to name a few. You can play this CD anywhere at anytime and never get tired of hearing such old classics that are timeless and put together in an order that play with your emotions from beginning to end.
One question though, How many soundtracks does "Nights In White Satin" appear in, anyway????!!!!"
