Joyful Noise Movie Soundtrack Features Dolly Parton, Kris Kristofferson & Kirk Franklin

Ranked #166 in Music, #3,427 overall

Music and Songs Joyful Noise Movie

What? It's a gospel movie with only one song from contemporary gospel singer Kirk Franklin on the Joyful Noise Movie Soundtrack? I'm only willing to overlook this minor transgression because it's been so long since we've seen Dolly Parton on the big screen. Besides Kirk Franklin's got a wonderful catalogue of music that can and should be enjoyed in its entirety.

Out of a dozen songs, Dolly gets to be on four of the songs on the Soundtrack for Joyful Noise, Queen Latifah's got equal billing with four songs as well. Keke Palmer does a decent cover of Michael Jackson's Man in the Mirror and a lovely duet with Jeremy Jordan of Sir Paul McCartney's "Maybe I'm Amazed" which is great to see resurrected in all its timeless glory.

But what tops their duet is a sentimental, touching duet and dance scene with country music veterans Dolly Parton and Kris Kristofferson on "From Here to the Moon and Back". And well deserved as Kris Kristofferson was scooped out of singing on the Greening of Whitney Brown Soundtrack by Brooke Shields noodling about instead.

Snappy one liners and sassy chemistry between Queen Latifah and Dolly Parton make Joyful Noise a welcome respite from the winter doldrums hitting theaters January 13, 2012. A tentative release date of May 1, 2012 has been announced on Amazon.com for the DVD/Blu-Ray release. To pre-order, click here.

Michael Jackson Cover "Man in the Mirror"

Keke Palmer as Olivia Hill in Joyful Noise

Love that Queen Latifah's character Vi Rose totally calls out Keke Palmer's character, Olivia, for unnecessary vocal theatrics ala Mariah Carey or Christina Aguilera and instead asks for the music to come from the soul instead.

What Songs Are in the Higher Medley?

Sly and the Family Stone, Usher, Chris Brown, Stevie Wonder

Film School Rejects Review of Music in Joyful Noise
Do You Think It's Inappropriate to Have Pop Songs Sung as Gospel Songs?
I Want To Take You Higher

Right or wrong, some of the songs lifted from the pop world to rock the Higher Medley don't exactly reflect squeaky clean Christian morals but lyrics have been changed to suit. Songs used for the Higher Medley on the Joyful Noise Soundtrack are Sly and the Family Stone's "Higher", Usher's "Yeah", Chris Brown "Forever" and "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours" by Stevie Wonder as sung in all its glory by Queen Latifah.
