1995 Soundtrack – The Cure

The Cure is a 1995 American drama film directed by Peter Horton and written by Robert Kuhn. The film stars Brad Renfro and Joseph Mazzello and follows an unlikely friendship between two boys, one of whom is suffering from AIDS. When the boys hear of a possible cure for the disease, they set out on a quest to find it.

The original soundtrack to the film was composed by Dave Grusin and released by GRP Records on May 9, 1995. Tommy Morgan contributed to the musical harmony and Michael Fisher worked with percussion. The instruments used in the martial band of the track are: piano, electric bass, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, synthesizer, and alto flute. The song called “My Great Escape” was written and performed by Marc Cohn. However, this song has never been released in any medium outside of the film.
