For the Boys (soundtrack)

For the Boys: Music from the Motion Picture is the soundtrack to the feature film of the same name starring Bette Midler and James Caan, released on the Atlantic Records label in 1991.

For the Boys was promoted by the Diane Warren-penned ballad "Every Road Leads Back To You" which became a Top 20 hit on the US adult contemporary chart, peaking at #15.

[1] The second single was Midler's interpretation of The Beatles "In My Life", in the movie performed by Dixie Leonard as she entertains the U.S. troops during the Vietnam War.

"In My Life" also reached #20 on the adult contemporary chart[1] and later made its way onto Midler's greatest hits collection Experience the Divine.

The reviewer of Billboard wrote that "thoroughly satisfying album proves that Midler's unique voice shines brightest when balanced by grandly orchestral and brass swing-jazz arrangements.
