"Coming to America" Music
Something that's been bugging me for several years now... In the 80's Eddie Murphy movie "Coming to America," what is the name of the song that plays when King Jeoffry Jumba comes to New York, and where can I find it?

1. Coming to America Question --
Is it out on DVD?

I was in "Coming to America" and have it on VHS but haven't seen any DVDs...

No, I did not have a big part... was a background person eating a hamburger in the window (w/a kid) in the scene where Eddie M. and Aresenio H. have a talk and walk all the way around the outside of "McDowells" restaurant in the rain. And a couple of other shots.

Am on the screen about one second, but heck, it was 3 days of SAG union scale $!
:-)

At a guess, I'd think it was the Ladysmith Black Mambazo number, but it's just a guess; I never saw the entire movie. If this is the case, you can get it here:

This is supposed to be the soundtrack album, but since they don't give a track listing, it's kind of hard to be too confident. (No doubt you know, but soundtrack albums often have little or nothing to do with the actual movie soundtrack.):
