Songs and Movies That Made Each Other Great

June 16, 2017

In another installment of songs in movies, let’s point out a few you may have missed.

Louie Armstrong stole the show with his song “What a Wonderful World,” a classic that first aired on the radio in 1967. The song was poignantly used in the Robin Williams movie ‘Good Morning Vietnam,’ and breathed new life and record sales into the song. The song was also featured in ‘Freaky Friday’ and ‘What a Girl Wants.’

In the movie of the same name, Lionel Richie and Diana Ross sang “Endless Love” and the music world took notice. The songs spent nearly 30 weeks on the charts and solidified Lionel as one of the greatest performers of our time.

“Vision Quest” is the perfect 80s movie that brought the talent of Madonna (Crazy For You) “Only the Young” from Journey, “Time for Me to Fly” by REO Speedwagon and “Harden My Heart” from Quarterflash.
“The Karate Kid II” brought us the Peter Cetera theme song “The Glory Of Love” and we still hear the tune today.

“Staying Alive” by the Bee Gees has been a hit for obviously ‘Saturday Night Fever,’ but it’s also been in ‘Grumpy Old Men,’ ‘A Night at the Roxbury,’ and the Disney movie ‘Madagascar.’
