777.0. "Hugh Harris help please" by CHEFS::IMMSA (adrift on the sea of heartbreak) Thu Dec 13 1990 11:32

    Has anyone seen the John Hughes Film "Uncle Buck"?, with John Candy.
    
    As y'all may know John Hughes has a knack of plumbing the depths of the
    record industry to come up with some ace soundtracks for his films.
    
    Well - at the final scene of Uncle Buck and over the first few credits,
    there is a track playing which just blew my mind - you know how it is -
    it might not work for everyone but for me, this one hit the spot.
    
    It is called Rhythms of Life by Hugh Harris.
    
    Anybody know of the man - I gotta hear more.......

    You'll find `Rhthyms Of Life' in bargain bins everywhere.  12" for 50p
    etc.  I've not heard the song, but it flopped due to low coverage in
    the media (I suppose).
    
    Also he's Sinead O'Connor's boyfriend.

    Thanks Matty
    
    I'll go digging this weekend and try not to hold it against him that he
    is in any way associated with Sinead O'Connor.

      >Also he's Sinead O'Connor's boyfriend.
       
    He can't be `cause she's married to her drummer who's name is John.
    
    Or is there something I don't know.

    She IS married, but they split.  Maybe the tabloids are misleading me
    for a laugh, who cares?  They've been showing a few pictures of the two
    together etc.

    Andy,

    'Rhythm of life'?

    No...an Rhythm of Life is I believe a different mix from the one in the
    film.
    
    Its the best track on the album which overall is a trifle strange.
    
    If I new then what i know now I might not have bought it, but it dose
    grow on you with repeated listenings.
    
    Make of that what you will :-)

777.9bargain timeCHEFS::IMMSAadrift on the sea of heartbreakThu Jan 17 1991 17:3311
    Just as an add-on....
    
    I just bought a cd with "rhythm of life" and two other tracks from a
    dump bin......99p.
    
    Wot a bargain!
    
    I don't need the tape now if anyone wants to buy it for 4 quid.

    I have actually seen Hugh Harris live.
     He supported the absoulutly superb Sam Brown at the Town @ Country 
     back in Dec`89.
                     I thought he was very good indeed and at the time was
     quite keen to get hold of some of his material but never really got
     round to it.Now if somebody wanted to lend me a tape they didn`t
    really want.......

777.12you know it makes senseYUPPY::HOGANMon Feb 11 1991 18:274
    after your review of it, i think think that offering to take it off
    your hands would be doing you a favour........
