Pop-folk duo Simon and Garfunkel were two years away from making one of the best-selling albums ever, 1970's Bridge Over Troubled Water, when they contributed to the songs to The Graduate, and so kick-started the rise of the song-based soundtrack and soundtrack album. Previously, there had been musicals, title songs and then more contemporary pop musicals (such as The Beatles's Help) but The Graduate used Paul Simon's songs to comment on the action of a contemporary dramatic comedy. "The Sound Of Silence" and "Mrs Robinson" remain two of the best pop songs ever written, while "Scarborough Fair Canticle" has a madrigal-like beauty. The album als...

Curtis Stigers
Coming on the heels of recent albums You Inspire Me and I Think It's Going To Rain Today, Real Emotional sees jazz singer and tenor saxophonist Curtis Stigers follow the current vogue for re-interpretations of classic pop tunes. Starting with a sprightly version of Dylan's classic "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight," Stigers croons his way mellifluously through a host of tried and tested evergreens. There's a subtly subverted version of Stephin Merritt's "As You Turn to Go"; a surprisingly good take on Tom Waits' "San Diego Serenade"; revamps of Emmylou Harris's "I Don't Want to Talk About It Now," and Dan Zanes' "Night Owl," and emotive renditions of Paul Si...
