INFO / BIO
«Although Nighthawks -starring Sylvester Stallone, Billy Dee Williams, Lindsay Wagner, and Rutger Hauer - was a rather contrived suspense film, Keith Emerson's soundtrack fit its need rather well. With his full assortment of keyboards, an orchestra, and a supporting cast including bassist Kendall Stubbs , drummer Neil Symonette , percussionist Frank Scully , trumpeter Greg Bowen , and the talented multi-reed player Jerome Richardson , Emerson keeps one's interest.»
«The vocal tracks are mildly amusing, with Paulette Willimas singing "Nighthawking" (a piece that starts with some crisp solo piano before degenerating into a dance number with trite lyrics), and Emerson's tongue-in-cheek vocal on a cover of the Spencer Davis Group's "I'm a Man." All in all, it stands the test of time better than the movie.» Source: allmusic.com
