This is one of those
soundtracks that may have worked better during
the vinyl era. Most of the tunes here (each and
every one a '50s rock classic) are likely
already in the CD collections of fans of this
kind of music. That's probably the case with
Buddy Holly, Ben E. King, the Del Vikings (two
cuts here), the Coasters, Jerry Lee Lewis, and
perhaps Shirley & Lee. It's probably not true of
the Chordettes' "Lollipop," but that tune is
used to such great effect in this terrific flick
that you may just want to watch the video again.
You can't go wrong with 10 feel-good classics.
