Vocal arrangements by Troy Taylor (9)

Samples: (5): "Papa was a Rolling Stone" (Whitfield/Strong) performed by The Temptations. (7): "Bach Talk" (McCarthy) performed by Glen Campbell.

Notes: (**) An unremarkable collection of rap and R&B. The final track is a score montage by Rabin, but he also appears on LL Cool J's opener "Deepest Blue". Track 12 is based on Madonna's "La Isla Bonita". (HP, 16 Sep 01)
