Arthur: The Album (Soundtrack from the Motion Picture)

Every single song is a gem. This Album is a masterpiece created by Bucharah. Ambrosia's Poor Rich Boy!, a song they never play live, is here!. I still have the original Album released in ‘81.

Honestly... Christopher Cross brought me here!! 🎶

Love love love Arthur's Theme by Christopher Cross. A truly beautiful song by a true talent.

This is a wonderful album with music from a even more wonderful movie. God! Arthur takes me back! They don't make simple, funny & gentle movies like this today. God rest his soul, this is Dudley Moore's signature role and all time most popular movie. Forget about "10" with Bo Derek, which didn't compare with this movie in any way. Truly miss Dudley Moore, he was such a great guy and I'm so pleased that the powers that be saw fit to finallly release this classic album in the digital format in what seems like an eternity. Such a shame that in all this time "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do) wasn't available to be found ANYWHERE. Even Christopher Cross's many albums on iTunes didn't have this song on them so it seems that justice has finally been served having this great song of Christopher's on iTunes at long last. To those of you who find this gem on the store, all I can say is ENJOY!!

I am probably one of the few people in the US who has owned this CD (Japanese import) for about 10 years before it became impossible to find. This is a movie that will make me laugh and cheer me up when I think of some of the classic lines (Arthur: "I think I'll go take a bath." Hobson: "I'll alert the media.".........Hobson (to Linda): "Usually one must go to a bowling alley to meet someone of your acquaintance."......Linda (to Arthur): "What should I wear?" Hobson (to Linda): "Steal something casual." If you haven't already seen the movie, trust me, it will tickle your funnybone AND warm your heart. Enough about the movie.... The first four songs are sweet, simple songs sung by four classic late '70s/early '80s Westcoast music artists, and the last five are essentially instrumental versions of four of the vocal tracks. Absolutely enjoyable music from start to finish.

I'm so glad they finally released this soundtrack. This album has not been available in digital form for many years, maybe never. I had heard there was a lawsuit keeping it off of CD.

This is the original recording of "Arthur's Theme"...and it is a classic. Also great to hear again is the Bacharach background tune "Money"...which is stuck firmly in our memories!
