Good Soundtrack February 14, 2001

Even though The Woman In Red soundtrack is a thought of as a Stevie Wonder album, it is a combination Stevie Wonder and Dionne Warwick material. Mr. Wonder contributes four songs, Ms. Warwick has two and they duet on two more. The two duets ("It's You" and "Weakness") are very good and it's a treat to her two great vocalists sing together for the first time. "Love Light In Flight" is a sprightly workout and "Don't Drive Drunk" is a good intentioned songs and despite it's goofy chorus is quite catchy. "I Just Called To Say I Love You" is the song most remembered from the album as in late 1984 you couldn't turn on a radio and not hear it. The song suffered a bit from overkill, but listening to 17 years later, it is a great love song and has that timeless quality. The song went to number one and Mr. Wonder won an Academy Award for it.

After an incredible string of albums that few contemporary artists can match (VERY few - Prince and the Beatles are the only ones that come to mind), this soundtrack was Stevie's first major stumble. Packed with a lot of tepid filler, there are only occasional glimpses of the genius here - most notably in "Love's Light in Flight," which at least has a strong melody and soaring arrangement. Decide for yourself what you think of the ubiquitous "I Just Called" - it's total schmaltz in my book. And "Don't Drive Drunk" is a mockery of the kind of socially conscious, political song that Stevie handled so well in the 70s.Unfortunately, this album proved to be not so much a misstep as preview of things to come: Wonder has yet to regain the glory of his heyday. But his other 80s efforts (In Square Circle and Characters), though spotty, are better than this.

I don't believe there are many who would say this was Stevland's finest hour. There was something about the drum machines and drum pads of the early 1980's which is now hard to take. But this album has two things going for it: the first is a movie which wasn't bad, and the second is an outstanding duet with Dionne Warwick in "It's You". With superb, understated orchestration by Jeremy Lubbock, I guess this song has been overshadowed by the McDonald/Labelle collaboration of the same period, "On My Own". It is just one of the happiest love songs I know.

THIS IS A GREAT SOUNDTRACK TO A HILARIOUS MOVIE. I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW GOOD THIS SOUNDTRACK IS I LOVE THIS ENTIRE ALBUM ALL OF THE SONGS ARE GOOD. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS ALBUM TO ANYONE WHO LIKES STEVIE WONDER. DIONNE WARWICK SINGS WITH HIM ON A FEW SONGS. MY FAVORITE SONGS ARE: DON'T DRIVE DRUNK, I JUST CALLED TO SAY I LOVE YOU, IT'S YOU, THE WOMAN IN RED, WEAKNESS, MOMENETS AREN'T MOMENTS, AND LOVE LIGHT IN FLIGHT. THIS IS A DYNAMITE SOUNDTRACK!!!!
Missing one song!!! September 28, 2004

This soundtrack is great but missing one of the best songs from the movie. It's called "Let's Just..." I believe it's by Larry Gittens. The song plays when "Teddy" goes to "Charlotte's" apartment and they start to get undressed. The lyrics go something like "Baby, let's just take off our clothes and get naked from our head to toes..." I can't find this song anywhere! If anyone finds it, please let me know. Thanks!
