Retro Spins: Two Of A Kind

They may not always be box office hits, but one has to admit, movies with John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John have chemistry. I think they may be that one couple I wished would always get together and be a "thing" in Hollywood.

When the one and only John Travolta and the one and only Olivia Newton-John team up, it is indeed TWO OF A KIND: Two of today's biggest superstars, reunited for a double helping of comedy and romance. Travolta is a supremely selfish, would-be inventor. Newton-John is a boorish would-be actress. Together they are so irredeemably wicked, the "Supreme Being" bets a group of guardian angels that it would be impossible to get the two of them to show any sign of sacrifice for each other. A delightful fantasy with an irresistible cast and story, and packed with wonderful music by Miss Newton-John, Mr. Travolta, Boz Scaggs, Chicago, Journey and Patti Austin, TWO OF A KIND theorizes that love may indeed save the world. And it does so with an entertainment value that is strictly one of a kind. - Back of the original VHS

Wait...That's what that movie is about? Interesting.

I'm by no means a big fan of Olivia Newton-John, but even I have to admit when one of her songs strikes me, it's typically in a big way. The combination of her voice and the overall sound of the music combine to really pack a punch. This is definitely present in the opening track, Twist Of Fate.

Unfortunately, it's also really the only song I enjoyed from the album.

Can't really say much more about the soundtrack, as quite frankly, it was rather forgettable - fast.
