Nice find, Todd!

So after watching this I went reading at allmusic and found this funny bit from Nick Lowe's bio:

Quote:
While he was working on material for a new album, Lowe's Brinsley Schwarz composition "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding," which had previously been a hit for Costello, was covered by Curtis Stigers for the soundtrack to Whitney Houston's film The Bodyguard. The album became the biggest-selling soundtrack album in history and, in the process, Lowe unexpectedly became a millionaire from the songwriting royalties.


That's awesome, and it couldn't have happened to a cooler guy.
