Various Artists - Soundtracks - Remember the Titans: An Original Walt Disney Motion Picture Soundtrack (2000 Film)

Denzel Washington stars as a black football coach hired over a white coach at a recently racially integrated Virginia high school in the early 1970s. Director Boaz Yakin (A Price Above Rubies, Fresh) has a baby boomer's heart in mind with a stylistic array of early 1970s sounds supported by Trevor Rabin's orchestral score (one seven-minute excerpt, "Titans Spirit," finishes things off here). Charles Wright & the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band's "Express Yourself" is, perhaps, the greatest surprise, while oddball favorites such as Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky," Steam's "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye," and Eric Burdon and War's "Spill the Wine" match up with country star Buck Owens's "Act Naturally." Covers include a fiery version of Sly Stone's "I Want to Take You Higher" and Leon Russell's laid-back barrelhouse-piano take on the doomsday anthem "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall." Cat Stevens's "Peace Train" rolls into the station in its original version. Creedence Clearwater Revival (who appear with "Up Around the Bend") are outswamped by the Hollies' imitation of their sound with "Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress)." --Rob O'Connor Amazon.com

GREAT ITEM. EXACTLY AS ADVERTISED.

Great music. Daughter wanted it for her birthday. Nice that my 19 year old daughter has same taste in music that her dear old dad (47) has. Item was new in shrink wrap package. Excellent CD for those who like the sounds of the 60's and 70's. May 19, 2008

Love this music

The music is so much a part of the movie. Brings back great memories! November 4, 2006

Classic songs

This is an album and movie filled with great music. It is pretty expensive though, while it is a good album don't pay much more than $10 used for it. I remember watching this movie with a middle school cross country team when it first came out. This is a great album with classic rock and motown combined. August 24, 2006

Great movie...great soundtrack...

I saw where others have said that a song was missing...but I also noticed "Fire and Rain" By James Taylor is not on it either? What's up with that? I'm gonna have to watch again to see if anything else is missing. What a great great soundtrack...and I LOVED this movie! July 3, 2006
