SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 4:45 Min.
Recorded for the 1983 Eddie and the Cruisers film soundtrack, John Cafferty (as the fictional Eddie Wilson’s singing voice) and The Beaver Brown Band (as the fictional Cruisers) perform this bittersweet rock ballad.
REVIEW:
Bringing the film’s signature ballad to life, John Cafferty and saxophonist Wendell “Tunes” Antunes, in particular, are superb. For soft rock aficionados, this track is heartily recommended. Considering that actress Helen Schneider’s version (as Cruiser ‘Joann Carlino’) of “Tender Years” is also briefly heard in the film, it’s a shame that her rendition isn’t included on the soundtrack.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 8 Stars
