SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 4:59 Min.
From 1980’s Fame film soundtrack, the ensemble cast (vocally represented by Traci Parnell, Irene Cara, Laura Dean, Paul McCrane, and Eric Brockington) performs the tune. Specifically, it narrates the graduation sequence closing out the film.
REVIEW:
It’s certainly an intriguing contrast to the album’s solo tracks. What handicaps this tune’s dynamic melody are the peculiar lyrics making an universal allegory about maturing into adulthood hard to follow. Intended as a show-stopper, “I Sing the Body Electric” benefits from a combination of well-played rock/orchestra instrumentals and endearing vocals.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 6½ Stars
