Back in 1989 I went to see the film ‘Working Girl’ which starred Melanie Griffiths and Harrison Ford. This song was the opening theme song of the film performed by Carly Simon and I was immediately struck by what a great song it was and was reminded of what a wonderful talent Carly Simon really is.
I had first come across Carly Simon when she sang the theme song to the James Bond movie ‘The Spy Who Loved Me’ back in 1977 which has to be my all time favourite James Bond movie. I just loved Roger Moore in the role with Ringo Starr’s wife Barbara Bach as agent ‘triple x’ as well as the Lotus Esprit and the wonderful underwater scenes and the very modern music but Marvin Hamlish.
I had also heard ‘You’re So Vain’ which is another great song but I really loved ‘Let The River Run’ so much that I went out and bought a copy on 3’ CD single which I still have. I really enjoyed ‘Working Girl’ although looking back now it seems a little dated and what was that eighties hair about? If you’ve never seen ‘Working Girl’ or heard ‘Let The River Run’ then now is the time to listen to it and see what you think….
Enjoy the song….
