Soup for One (film)

Plot

Allan, a cable television producer in New York City, is determined to find the perfect woman, and he would even go so far as having a description of what she would look like done on an artist sketch. But before he can encounter the girl of his dreams he finds himself encountering a series of disastrous dating roadblocks. He finally meets Maria, who seems to be his perfect woman, and tries to make the relationship work.

Soundtrack

In addition to "Soup for One" (Pop #80, R&B #14), Chic also performed and produced four other cuts from the soundtrack: "Open Up," "Tavern on the Green," "I Work for a Living," and "Riding". "I Want Your Love" (Pop #7, R&B #5) which is also included, was a 1979 recording. Rodgers and Edwards also wrote and produced three songs for the film, one by Teddy Pendergrass ("Dream Girl"; he performs this in a cameo as a night club singer), another by Sister Sledge ("Let's Go on Vacation") and one for Carly Simon ("Why") (UK #10). Debbie Harry contributed a song to the soundtrack as well, called "Jump Jump." The album, released on WEA/Mirage Records, remains unreleased on compact disc.
