I never saw the movie, but the one song from it's soundtrack was a must-have: Stevie Wonder's #1 hit, "I Just
Called To Say I Love You." It's a classic love song for every romantic setting. The movie it was from, was
"The Woman In Red," released in 1984. The soundtrack is this week's chosen album. The comedy movie starred Gene
Wilder, who plays a happily married man who becomes infatuated with a beautiful woman in red (Kelly LeBrock), and devises
schemes to meet her, leading to comedic compliations. Since Stevie Wonder was a member of Motown, he, along with Dionne
Warwick, provided the songs for the soundtrack: Both together, and individually.
Stevie Wonder's music has now "debuted" on the WSVNRadio website, although The Woman In Red soundtrack is not
credited as a Stevie Wonder album. Of course, his albums as "Stevie Wonder" will be reviewed at later dates.
Stevie Wonder has four solo tracks from the 8 songs' soundtrack. "The Woman In Red" is the first one.
It's upbeat, funky. But I can't help but think of another song, "Lady In Red," by Chris De Burgh. (That particular
song would be released two years later, 1986.) De Burgh's song is definitely different than "The Woman In Red,"
and it was another great romantic track. Dionne Warwick and Stevie Wonder has two duets together. "It's You"
has a Michael Jackson ballad-type feel to it. The instrumental "It's More Than You" (Ben Bridges) is a romantic
romantic Smooth Jazz vibe track.
Then there's the classic Stevie Wonder track, "I Just Called To Say I Love You." It's Wonder's most memorable
track he ever wrote and recorded. The voicebox he used is an extra added bonus. Stevie returns the upbeat funk with
another great track, "Love Light In Flight," in your typical Stevie Wonder fashion. Dionne Warwick's "Moments
Are Moments" has her in her most popular - it's a (another) beautiful Adult Contemporary track for her, if you're
familar with her later recordings (especially her work with Barry Manilow). Dionne Warwick and Stevie Wonder's duet
"Weakness" has no weakness - it's another great mellow track by two recording legends. Ending the album is
Stevie Wonder's upbeat and funky "Don't Drive Drunk." Take it from a blind man, to not drive intoxicated.
The soundtrack of The Woman In Red has funky tracks, but it's the romantic sounding tracks that are the
standouts. Especially Stevie Wonder's "I Just Called To Say I Love You." That song alone, is the most best
(and loved) remembered track. Chris De Burgh's "Lady In Red" could have been another added attraction, but it was
released two years later, and he wasn't on the Motown label. But the soundtrack is very good Motown music, led by Motown
legend Stevie Wonder, and adding Dionne Warwick is the icing on the cake.
