MAM Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 My wife and I just finished watching a Chris Rock movie, "Down To Earth". This was based on the movie "Heaven Can Wait". If I remember correctly, Eric's song of the same title, was written for HCW, but ended up not being used. Lo and behold in the Chris Rock movie, what do they use? Eric's "All By Myself". Kind of a cool thing. :-) 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Cool beans Mike!......"Heaven Can Wait" is my favorite song from that album. So great and really under appreciated. I think it would have been a great score piece for a movie.James 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I'm Cool Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 When that movie was shown on television years after it's release, I swear Eric's "Heaven Can Wait" was used during the closing credits. I've never had anyone back me up on this but I wonder if anyone else has this same recollection? (Beautiful song......a classic)Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
