Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit
Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
UNI/HOLLYWOOD
Release Date: 1995
Length: 43'38"

This is not completely a gospel album. However, it should not be forgotten that this album had a big influence on the popularity of gospel music in Japan. A lot of Japanese people got their first touch with gospel music by listening to this album or watching the movie. For many of them, the favorite song on the album is, of course, "His Eye Is On The Sparrow" by Tanya Blount and Lauryn Hill, who is one of the top stars of hip-hop music today. "Joyful, Joyful", which was the highlight of the movie, is also beautifully done.
