Soundtrack for Francis Ford Coppola's film One from the Heart; released in 1982 (review notes mention Columbia).

Two DeBaser reviews reassess the 1982 soundtrack One From The Heart, a collaboration between Tom Waits and Crystal Gayle. Critics praise its cinematic sentimentalism, Gayle's vocal perspective, and Waits' demonstration of eclecticism. Highlights noted include the title track and "Broken Bicycles".

For:Fans of Tom Waits and Crystal Gayle, soundtrack and film-music listeners, collectors of 1980s soundtracks and lovers of vocal duets and retro sentimental songs.

 The female voice (the "compromised" Crystal Gayle), far from being a disappointing sugary concession, represents the necessary female perspective of the story.
