Goodfellas is my all time favorite soundtrack

The Casino soundtrack is the best IMHO, there are so manny great songs on there. The Goodfellas soundtrack left out alot of songs, but its still a good CD.

However, I use Kazaa to download my music. kazaa media desktop When i did a search for "goodfellas" I found the song Rags to Riches by Tony Bennett very easily. Im sure you will too.

my favorite song in Casino is "The House of the Rising Sun" and the part where the song was played was perfecto! Martin Scorsese has a very good taste in music. no wander he's the assistant director of woodstock.
