Paul Anka (& Richard Marx) - Say It *1987* [No Way Out Soundtrack]

Описание: [Synth Pop/Funk/RnB/R&B/Electronic/Soul/Slowjam/Electro] Here is the super rare and highly sought after song titled: "Say It" by the iconic musician / producer Paul Anka that was originally planned to be used in the 1987 Kevin Costner film: "No Way Out" (before it was decided that Anka would perform a 1 min post production live version that is heard in the film). The words and music for this song were produced by Paul Anka and the legendary Richard Marx (Right Here Waiting / Endless Summer Nights). The song is featured / played when characters Tom Farrell (Kevin Costner) and Susan Atwell (Sean Young) are driving in a red 1986 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider Quadrifoglio for a romantic weekend getaway together. Many "No Way Out" fans (including fans of Paul Anka) have been looking tirelessly for this song as it is not included on any of Paul Anka 's albums. Not for nothing but i think that this is the very first original demo recorded version with possibly Richard Marx signing and Anka backing whereas in the film it is a live version done by Anka (i can't be so sure or confirm this but never the less this is the original version of the song). The video / The Pentagon in general is a nod to the setting, opening credits and the end credits of the film where they showcase aerial coverage of Washington D.C, Arlington, Virginia, and Pentagon City, Virginia. I'm not going to lie but this song fits pretty well with the aerial aesthetic of our nations capital. Paul Albert Anka is a Canadian singer, songwriter and actor. Anka became famous during the late 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s with hit songs like "Diana," "Lonely Boy," "Put Your Head on My Shoulder," and "(You're) Having My Baby." He wrote such well-known music as the theme for The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and one of Tom Jones's biggest hits, "She's a Lady," as well as the English lyrics on Claude François and Jacques Revaux's music, for Frank Sinatra's signature song, "My Way," which has been covered by many including Elvis Presley. In 1983, he co-wrote the song "I Never Heard" with Michael Jackson. It was re-titled and released in 2009 under the name "This Is It." An additional song that Jackson co-wrote with Anka from the 1983 session, "Love Never Felt So Good," was released in 2014 on Jackson's posthumous album Xscape (the song was also released by Johnny Mathis in 1984). As for "Say It", Anka allowed Lisa Nilsson to perform her version in 1989, though it doesn't hold a candle to Anka 's & Marx 's original version from "No Way Out". As time progressed, Anka has become a huge staple for the music industry with many albums showcasing his impressive catalog of duets and solo performances. However, Paul 's '87 recording with Richard Marx of "Say It" has been nearly impossible to obtain so i am happy to upload it for you guys and finally end your searches once and for all. This song was released under Paulanne Music, Inc. and Chiboy Music '87.
