...this respect Jarreau exhibits more originality than many of his contemporaries. One can hardly argue that "Wait a Little While," already a hit, is at all a carbon copy of Kenny Loggins' lyrics, or that "She's Leaving Home," a twelve-year-old number penned by then-Beatles John Lennon and Paul McCartney is a totally unoriginal track...
Despite its synthetic Latinisms, flip dissonance and references to Lennon-McCartney songs, Webber's music is evocative and often catchy. Prince's staging is more problematical. Using a large company and rear-projected newsreel footage, the director has created some undeniably powerful tableaux: Evita's political rallies, her death and funeral have a dark and chilling majesty.

From the first full-page shot of a pensive John Lennon gazing into Leibovitz's lens to a melancholy Keith Richard swathed in a makeshift black headdress, Leibovitz's collection captures virtually every major rock star of the last ten years in some special pose, along with non-rock celebrities ranging from Truman Capote to Jimmy Carter...
