The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack to
The Karate Kid Part II contains only two excerpts from the instrumental score by
Bill Conti. Otherwise, it is a set of miscellaneous pop songs by
The Moody Blues,
Carly Simon, Southside Johnny, and others.
Paul Rodgers ("Rock Around the Clock") and
New Edition ("Earth Angel") cover rock & roll oldies.
Peter Cetera ("Glory Of Love") enjoyed his first solo #1 hit, and
New Edition made the Top 40, but the material is for the most part bland and forgettable. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
