Subject: RE: Music That Blew Me Away
Wow, great topic, Jerry. I'm sure I could think of a bunch, but one that jumps out is the soundtrack to The Black Stallion, composed by Carmine Coppola and Shirley Walker. It was used as 'mood' music in a production of a Sherlock Holmes play I worked on as a theatre apprentice. Don't know if it was the time in my life, too, but I was mesmerized, every time I heard it. I had to keep 'snapping out of it". Hadn't seen the movie until a year or so ago, and had the same reaction: my whole body was listening, and I got carried away with the sound.

Also, without a doubt, the first time I heard the Shellback Chorus. It was like a wall of sound threatening to push me over! It was all I could do not to stow away in their luggage so I could join them!!
