Next album ="Hercules: An Original Walt Disney Records Soundtrack" is the
soundtrack for Disney's1997 animated feature "Hercules". It consists of music written by composerAlan Menken and lyricistDavid Zippel , with vocals performed byLillias White ,LaChanze ,Roz Ryan ,Roger Bart ,Danny DeVito , andSusan Egan among others, along with the successful single version of "Go the Distance " byMichael Bolton . For the Spanish version of the film, "Go the Distance" was redone byRicky Martin and released as a single under the title "No Importa La Distancia" and was also very successful, both inside and outside theUnited States . In the Turkish version of the film, "Go the Distance" was sung byTarkan , who also performed the vocals for the adult Hercules."Go the Distance" was nominated for both the
Academy Award for Best Original Song and theGolden Globe Award for Best Original Song , but ultimately lost both to Celine Dion's monumental hit "My Heart Will Go On " from "Titanic".Belinda Carlisle recorded two versions of "I Won't Say (I'm in Love)" for promotional purposes. Though the English dub eventually opted not to use it, several foreign ones have it in place of the reprise of "A Star Is Born" in the ending credits. These dubs include, but are not limited to, the Swedish one, the Finnish one, the Icelandic one and the Russian one. Curiously enough, the DVD release of the Swedish dub has replaced it with the reprise of "A Star Is Born".Track listing
