Best known for a pair of adult contemporary smashes -- "Please Don't Leave," a duet with Michael McDonald, and the Pretty Woman soundtrack's "Fallen" -- Lauren Wood has parlayed a variety of talents into a career spanning two decades, even if she hasn't remained highly visible throughout that time.
In 1990, Wood contributed the track "Fallen" to the soundtrack of Pretty Woman, which went on to sell over three million copies in the United States; it became a much-requested adult contemporary radio hit and was covered by Johnny Mathis, Larry Coryell, and Nicolette Larson. The success enhanced Wood's freelancing career as a songwriter, as well as her ability to expand her Cat Tricks company and found her own record label, Bad Art. In 1998, Wood released her first solo album since 1981, which, like her debut, was titled simply Lauren Wood; it featured the original version of "Fallen," as well as songs that were recorded by other artists and new compositions. Recently, Wood also performed the theme song to the television series Just Shoot Me. ~ Steve Huey
I made a remix version of this classic. The track includes a combination of samples from Wild Thing (Tone Loc), I Can See Clearly Now (Jimmy Cliff) and No Coke (Dr. Alban).
