Does anyone know the names of all the songs from the movie? So far, I have "However Dark the Night", "Sweet Little Lover", "Here is My Love". I cant think of the names of the others. I used to own the movie and dont anymore, im in the middle of purchasing it here in the next few weeks. Its just really bugging me that I cant remember the names.
Help anyone?

the boys and the girls singing...."a boy and a girl". They were the group that sang before Tommy Dee on National Bandstand. Vinnie sings "I believe it can be done". That's at the end of the film. Caesare's first song is "Baby". The song during the opening credits is "Ooh Wee Baby" (i think). Tommy Dee, while still a sax player, sings "Come and get it". Jerry Ryan, the blonde singer, sings "Shelly". And there is song on the soundtrack that is played when the kids are at the gym dance in Rochester. a slow tune, but i'm blanking on the title. sorry. Hope this helps at least.
shareI found a website with the soundtrack!!!

Jeff Barry is one of the legendary Brill Building songwriters. With wife Ellie Greenwich, he wrote such hits as "Da Do Ron Ron", "Do Wah Diddy Diddy", "Be My Baby", "And Then He Kissed Me", "Chapel of Love", "Leader of the Pack", and "River Deep, Mountain High". After the marriage and partnership broke up, Barry went on to become a producer at A&M records. The soundtrack for The Idolmaker was released by A&M, perhaps thanks to Barry's involvement.
