One Fine Day - Music from the Motion Picture

This 1996 romantic comedy took George Clooney out of the ER and firmly established him as a romantic lead on the big screen, and re-confirmed that Michelle Pfeiffer was one of the best actresses alive. And since it took its title from a song, you KNOW it had to have a good soundtrack, with not one but two versions of “One Fine Day,” the original by The Chiffons and a new version by the great Natalie Merchant. Not to mention selections by Van Morrison (“Have I Told You Lately?”), Shawn Colvin (“Someone Like You”), and, for more of that girl group vibe, “The Boy from New York City” by The Ad-Libs and “Mama Said” by The Shirelles. All playing while you root for these two harried single parents to get together.
