Notes: (*)
(10) is a vocal version of (6).
Some pretty awful soft rock for the soundtrack to this 1980s teenage
drama. The album was led by Canadian keyboardist/producer David Foster
(not to be confused with the former member of The Warriors) and a familiar
bunch of session players perform (including 8 who would go on to play on
Anderson's solo album In the City of Angels: Williams, Porcaro,
Landau, Paich, Hey, Grant, Reichenbach, Lukather). Anderson is one of the
guest vocalists: the music for "This Time It was Really Right" is mediocre
to cheesy (think In the City of Angels, but worse) and the lyrics
the same, but it's a good vocal performance. (HP, 4 Aug 02)
