Liner Note Author: Stephen R. Herek. Arranger: Jimmie Haskell. If you can listen to Shawn Stockman sing "Visions of a Sunset" without at least one chill jutting up your spine, without thinking about a lost love or a found one, or without just marveling at the vocal instrument the man possesses...well, perhaps you should write a book about what it's like to live without a soul. Is Stockman's wondrous ballad, written immediately after he viewed the film, worth the price of admission? Just about. It's one of only two current songs on the disc (Julian Lennon's "Cole's Song" is the other), but if you like soundtracks, this one has some solid radio-ready gems. Among them are Stevie Wonder's raucous, two-chord celebration of just plain feeling good (and, some have argued, the greatest Motown single of all time), "Uptight (Everything's Alright)"; John Lennon's timeless anthem "Imagine"; and Ray Charles' "I Got A Woman," which will probably sound just as good in 2996 as it does now.
