The original 1966 film for which this was a remake, also had a soundtrack album by Sonny Rollins. The Burt Bacharach-Hal David song Alfie which played over the end credits of both films, did not feature in the Rollins soundtrack, but it appears here. The song, "New York Hustle" is the losing song for the New York Rangers and the New York Knicks for home games.

Cher re-recorded the song for the closing credits of the remake, but it was dropped in favour of a version by Joss Stone.^[1]
