Sax Rendition of Love Theme = Why?
4
By J. A. Kaloti
The key piece of this lovely soundtrack, the Love Theme to ‘Forever Young,’ is for some inexplicable reason rewritten as an accompanied solo version for saxophone. This makes it sound cheesy, sleazy, and generally reminiscent of Bill Clinton’s MTV campaign trail appearance. Yuck.
I wanted the album for the Love Theme version from the film. You won’t find it here, which is why I’m knocking off a star. However, the rest of the sumptuous soundtrack is still outstanding and well worth a listen.
Please deep six the sax and bring the audience the original Love Theme for a Five Star review. Thank you kindly.
