Mason Dixon’s Favorite Songs From Movie Soundtracks Volume 1

• “Footloose” by Kenny Loggins

• “Flashdance” by Irene Cara

  Share

  Irene also sang the title theme, "Fame".

  The writer of this song, Jim Peterik, didn't believe it was really Sylvester Stallone asking him to write a song for the movie.

• “The Power of Love” by Huey Lewis and the News from “Back to the Future”

  Share

  Prince had so many great songs on this soundtrack.

  Share

  Jennifer Warnes had another song from an 80's soundtrack, "Up Where We Belong", another duet that featured Joe Cocker.

  An aspiring actor himself, Phil also appeared in an episode of 'Miami Vice', 'Buster' and 'Hook'. He even appeared in The Beatles' 'A Hard Days Night' and 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang'

• “Call Me” by Blondie from ‘American Gigolo’

  Share
