Pop culture

I’d add Dela and Cruel Crazy Beautiful World were both used on the Magic of David Copperfield: Orient Express 2601:281:CB00:EC20:D4D6:79D0:1584:3C86 (talk) 21:03, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Discography problem

The Soundtracks section is wrong. The listed album, The Power of One, links to a soundtrack that Clegg had no involvement with, and the "supporting" two references make absolutely no mention of that album. Clegg did release a compilation called The Power of One, but in 2008, and that compilation is unrelated to the soundtrack. I fixed this problem on 11/28/2022 and added a reference linking to the correct album, but someone came by and undid that correction. 2A02:908:1A6:3B20:E96D:B8C7:72BA:668E (talk) 17:56, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Johnny Clegg apparently wrote two of the tracks from the 1992 soundtrack... I'll update the reference - see https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105159/soundtrack. I'll also add back your information about the 2008 compilation, which consists of remixes and covers of Clegg's music, performed by other artists.
