Most soundtracks for movie blockbusters are a mixed bag, and this one is no exception. The Ali soundtrack is heavily weighted toward R&B, and on that front the album is a success, despite R. Kelly's two horrendously saccharine power ballads. There's no denying the greatness of classic tracks like Aretha Franklin's supremely melancholy "Ain't No Way" and Al Green's live rendition of "A Change Is Gonna Come," and David Elliot continues the old-school theme, with a warm and bluesy remake of "Bring It On Home to Me." Alicia Keyes's "Fight" channels the '70s vibe of James Brown's Funky People, and the fabulous Angie Stone breaks it down and keeps it moving with "20 Dollars." Things go awry when it comes to the rock & roll selections. Everlast's blues-rock posturing on "The Greatest" is irksome, and the Watchtower Four's remake of the classic Bob Dylan song "All Along the Watchtower" (done best by Jimi Hendrix) is a travesty. Topnotch contributions by cello virtuoso Martin Tillman, former Dead Can Dance vocalist Lisa Gerrard, and Afropop superstar Salif Keita help balance things out. --Rebecca Levine

 The World's Greatest Is Waiting For You December 2, 2001
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
This soundtrack was by the far the most inspirational soundtrack I have ever heard. R. Kelly's "World's Greatest" brings me from the bottom to the top. I listen to the soundtrack before basketball and volleyball games and any time whether I'm feeling great or awful, it inspires me to pick my head up. I cannot wait until the new movie Ali comes out, but if you're someone who appreciates a good soundtrack with balance and variety, this is definitely a must.
 Buyer Beware! May 16, 2002
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
I ran right out and bought this immediately after watching the film, hoping that the wonderful ambient/trippy stuff, like the theme playing over the credits, would be on here. No such luck. This is basically a rhythm and blues primer...well done, but if you're looking for the wonderful "out there" music that ran throughout the movie, forget it. It ain't here. Too bad too...that's what I wanted. Oh well. Live and learn.
 Pat's Disappointed Purchase August 23, 2002
6 out of 14 found this review helpful
I was truly disappointed when I received this CD. I have the movie which is what inspired me to make this purchase, however, the movie "soundtrack" is quite different from what you sold me. This CD has songs I never heard before and are certainly not in the movie. You really should warn people or allow them to return merchandise they are dissatisfied with. If anyone wants to "buy" it from me please let me know and I would appreciate you including my name on the selling roster. This is the worse yet.
 R.Kelly's mispronunciation of word "ask" March 18, 2002
5 out of 8 found this review helpful
I wanted to give this cd 5 stars but R.Kelly's terrible mispronunciation of the word "ask" as "ax" got on my nerves too bad. I know he's probably from the hood and all and probably has a limited education but that's no excuse for a singer who cites the great Sam Cooke as an influence. Sam would've never made such an irritating mistake and if he had he would've definetly caught it and corrected it on the playback in the studio. But- hey ! Kelly's no Sam Cooke-not even Luther can walk in those great shoes.
 This was a decent soundtrack. December 7, 2001
4 out of 7 found this review helpful
For the most part the music was solid. From Aretha Franlin of old up to some of the rising TALENT of Bilal and Alicia Keys who have the ability to put out quality music. My only disappointment is that I think a song that would have worked perfect with this soundtrack would be a song by a group called "FAITHLESS" titled "MUHAMMAD ALI". The song is a total tribute to one of the Kings of Boxing and is done in a meticulously classy way. I give this album 4 stars only because I believe the song I mentioned would have pulled this album up to a 5 star rating.
