Song title please.... Whoopi Goldberg's scene...



Does anyone know the artist/title of the song at the beginning.... just after Kid says "Pops, about that party.... you were right to whoop my ass!"


This doesn't appear on the soundtrack...??

If memory serves it was "Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday" by Boyz II Men. It was a big hit at the time. I think they couldn't afford to get it for the soundtrack. I think there was brief version of it (around one minute) on the soundtrack by another group.

Are we talking about the scene were Kid is at his dad's grave?

Hmmm...I think they changed the music. I saw this film in the theater but I haven't seen it since. But distinctly recall them playing Boyz II Men during that scene. It was a big hit at the time and I was surprised that they had paid for the rights to the song. I guess they didn't want to pay for the video rights.

At the scene where he's visiting his dad's grave towards the end of the movie, they do play the song by boyz 2 men. There were several other of their songs in

I know this is years later but they didn't actually play the Boyz II Men cover, it was by "The Flex" apparently. When I heard it I knew that it didn't actually sound like the boys.



Rest in Peace Geoffrey Holder, you will be greatly missed.

Thank you. I wanted to know since I was disapointed it was not on the soundtrack and it was one of my faves in that movie.

reply

Yes, someone up there has it. Its "Rated R" by Ralph Tresvant. You can find that record on his solo CD, Sensitivity, released in 1990.
