Scorsese's great about that. But, this time, the R&R songs did not fit the chronology of the scenes they were used in, whereas in "Mean Streets," "Goodfellas" and "Casino," the songs were exactly those that were popular at the time depicted in the scenes.

TB, I agree to an extent. I don't know his reason for Johnnie Ray's Cry when Dorfman's car was being shot up (I do like that song). Of course, Maybe he wasn't trying to follow a chronology, but simply using some songs to fit the scene.

But one thing's for sure: when the film opened with In the Still of the Night, I was hooked.
