Musical Montage: Jordan Hill “Remember Me This Way”
Casper opened 30 years ago today, and audiences heard Jordan Hill’s song “Remember Me This Way” in one of the movie’s climactic scenes. An update of the Harvey Comics character, Casper starred Malachi Pearson as the voice of Casper while Christina Ricci and Bill Pullman co-starred. James Horner scored the movie, and Little Richard sang a version of the classic Casper the Friendly Ghost theme. “Remember Me This Way” was Jordan Hill’s debut single, and it came out before her self-titled album, which was released the following year in 1996. Hill performed for record producer David Foster in 1994 at his home, and he immediately signed her to his 143 Records label. Hill only released one album. As of 2014, there was news of her working on a follow-up, but there haven’t been any updates. Hill filmed a music video for the song, which features clips from the movie while Hill performs in vaguely spooky/autumnal locations. Check it out below.
