Annie Soundtrack CD

Music composed by Charles Strouse. Lyrics written by Martin Charnin.

The soundtrack to John Houston's movie adaptation of the Broadway blockbuster Annie is fitfully entertaining, featuring good versions of "Tomorrow," "It's the Hard-Knock Life," and "You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile." Even though the glossy production sounds good and most of the vocalists sound good, the soundtrack isn't as consistent or rich as the original cast recording. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
