231.0. "typically topical...." by LOOKIN::SOWTON (Hurricanes hardly ever happen...but) Thu Oct 06 1988 19:11

    
    
    	Anyone know who originally sang "Ain't No Sunshine",
    	one of the songs featured in the film "Good Morning 
    	Vietnam" ??
  
	Incidentally, this film, (in my opinion), is very funny
    	and has some excellent 60's/70's music. Hopefully an
    	album will be released of all the songs performed.
    
    
    	Cheers
    	Bob

    Have'nt seen the film myself, but if that song was sung by Michael
    Jackson some years ago the answer is Bill Withers (who also wrote
    it).

    An album has been released in the UK this week, featuring  a lot
    of the songs, plus some of Robin Williams chatter. It got good reviews
    in the press.

231.3Goooooooood Morning Vietnaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammm!EUCLID::OWENHltr Skltr...we're stealin' it back!Fri Oct 07 1988 16:4411
    I got the album about a year ago when I came out here in the states.
    (there are some advantages to being a yankee)  8^)
    
    The intros by Robin Williams are great.  It's just like you're
    listining to the radio with a DJ talking between the songs.
    
    As for the songs, Most of them are great.  This is not some cheap
    and trashy 60's compilation album.  The songs are really well chosen.

    "Ain't No SUnshine" also features on an ad doing the rounds in the
    cinemas right now in the UK - I think it's for Poly HiLights!!!
