I just finished watching Night Shift on TV, and I couldn't help noticing
how the background music bore more than a passing resemblance to That's
What Friends Are For, the current hit by Dionne Warwick and friends. Was
it just my imagination ?

Happy New Year Yes I noticed that also. I believe that the music was by Burt Barach(sp) and lyrics sung by Carole Bayer Sayer. I believe that is what I saw at the beginning of the movie. I think your are right about this one because I picked up on this also. I thought it was just my imagination. Funny how the music from a past movie is now a popular hit. It usually is the case where a movie and song hit come out at the same time making it even more popular. Becky Bates !ihnp4!akgub!cylixd!becky

Was > it just my imagination ? I too noticed the song in the movie; I just thought that the movie had been re-dubbed. However, I watched the credits, hoping to see WHY they did this, and became even more confused. At the end of the film, we hear Rod Stewart singing "That's What Friends Are For." According to the credits, the song was written by Burt Bacharach and Carole Bayer Sager. It looks like the song has been around longer than people realize! -- ----------------------------- |\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ |\----------------------------- |\| Michael Frank | \| allegra!rayssd!msf | -----------------------------

The song "That's What Friends are For" was on Night Shift. The song
was written a couple of year ago, but Dionne Warwick made it popular. It
is not her song.
