SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 3:58 Min.
Heard over the closing credits of 2017’s Murder on the Orient Express movie, actress Michelle Pfeffer (who appears in the supporting cast) performs this wistful ballad. The song was devised by the film’s composer, Patrick Doyle.
REVIEW:
Inexplicably, this haunting song wasn’t nominated for a Grammy or Academy Award. Michelle Pfeiffer’s ethereal presence makes “Never Forget” one of the most poignant movie tunes released in recent memory. The track’s melancholic, piano-driven melody matches her elegance, in terms of first-class work.
One would never guess from Pfeiffer’s vocals that it’s been nearly thirty years since her memorable cover songs in 1989’s The Fabulous Baker Boys, i.e. “Makin’ Whoopee” and “My Funny Valentine.” If anything, Pfeiffer’s mature vocal delivery sounds even better now. Absolutely recommended!
