Review

A motion picture soundtrack (and movie) well deserving of its obscurity, this was reissued on compact disc to cash in on Travolta's ascension back into Hollywood stardom. But despite the packaging, he only appears on one track on this ten-track soundtrack, a duet with Olivia on "Take A Chance." Newton-John, for her part, supplies three more tunes ("Shaking You," "Living In Desperate Times" and "Twist of Fate"), while the rest of this soundtrack contains performances from Patti Austin, Steve Kipner, Boz Scaggs, Journey, David Foster and Chicago. ~ Cub Koda, All Music Guide
