Mark:

MAGKAPATID (Siblings) was a very successful movie of Sharon Cuneta here in
the Philippines. If you watched that movie (hopefully dubbed in English),
you will know that not only did she sing "Both Sides Now" in the credits,
but the ENTIRE movie's musical scoring is all about BSN variations. When
that movie came out, I looked at the soundtrack section of the local
record store but I was informed that no soundtrack from that movie is
available or forthcoming. Instead, the record producers re-released
Sharon's WHEN I LOVE album where BSN is found.

It would have been great to have a soundtrack devoted solely for BSN. By
the way, Sharon Cuneta is probably the most successful personality in the
country. She endorses products, she sings well, she acts well, she is
married to a morally upright senator. And she is the first singer to sing
a Joni-composed song on record.
