Lost Classics: Looking For Love - Shakedown (1988) - Jonathan Elias

Isn't it stupid how great songs are never released? This is a good example of a song which features at the end of Shakedown (1988), also known as Blue Jean Cop, and a movie starring Mr Robocop himself,  Peter Weller. 



The music score was done by Jonathan Elias (Vamp, Tuff Turf), and had some great tracks on there.  The end credits song however has never been released in any format.  It was composed by Jonathan Elias himself and features some unknown singer "Nikki Ryder" on vocals, in fact most people aren't even sure if its a female or male voice on vocals! Sounds like John Waite.

Here is the track though ripped from the dvd to enjoy, a classic soundtrack song.

  6. Was it actually written by John Waite?
    Jonathan Elias's soundtrack for Two Moon Junction is absolutely incredible. I had no idea he did this sort of music too. The voice to me, although rather deep and raspy is very much female to my ear. I don't believe it's John Waite's voice as his is quite male sounding. The song itself does remind me of John Waite's "Change" though. I really can't believe this song wasn't released as I feel confident it would have been a hit. I find it bizarre actually because I think it would have charted pretty high!
