1978 Soundtrack

Shelley was on the cover of the soundtrack of the 1978 film If Ever I See You Again which was released in Japan. In her first leading lady role as Jennifer Corly, she played opposite Joe Brooks in the film. Brooks composed the theme song for the film, and  Jamie Carr sang it on the film's soundtrack. Debbie Boone, who sang Brooks's monster hit "You Light Up My Life," recorded a version as well. But it was Roberta Flack's version that became a hit around the world. Flack's version came out a a month before the film was released.
