THE MOST ESSENTIAL

MOVIE SOUNDTRACKS

For decades, songs and movies have been matched. The most successful are effective tools, cross-promoting both the music and the film in which they are featured; giving one or both longevity. Here are 50 Motion Picture Soundtrack Albums that evoke memories of the films they appeared in. The criteria was to include only movie soundtracks which consisted largely of new material, rather than a compilation of older songs or remakes.

Y ENTL

1983

‘Yentl’ had been a dream project for Barbra Streisand for years. It finally became a reality in 1983 with the singer / actress co-producing, co-writing and directing the film about a girl who pretends to be a boy in order to study at a yeshiva. As well as starring in the title role, Streisand performed all of the songs on the movie soundtrack. Michel Legrand composed the music. Lyrics were created by Alan and Marilyn Bergman. The songs move the plot along and give us a deeper insight from Yentl’s perspective. Vocally, Streisand is at her best.Among the highlights are: "Where Is It Written?", "Papa Can You Hear Me?", "The Way He Makes Me Feel", "No Matter What Happens" and "A Piece Of Sky".
