Original Soundtrack
The 1996 Miramax release Swingers helped in part to launch the neo-swing trend of the late '90s. The soundtrack that accompanied the film not only introduced swing revivalists such as Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, but delved into classic swing, country, and funk to create an eclectic yet surprisingly cohesive album. Dean Martin's "You're Nobody 'Til ...

Anyone remember when Pat Sajak had a talk show? Thought not. Well, no matter, because the show was forgettable. What wasn't so easy to dismiss though was the house band, which rocked on admirably even after cancellation by virtue of this wonderfully accessible, upbeat pop effort conceived and produced by the show's musical director and one of jazz ...

As far as budget-line compilations with horrible artwork and less than generous track lists are considered, Get Down Tonight: The Best of Disco isn't too bad, as it compiles original versions of songs that were, indeed, hits -- though not all of them are truly disco, or even released during the disco era. Regardless, here are 12 hits, all from the ...
