Product Description From the composer: Well, a single drop may just raise the ocean! And the flood of email, letters, and calls continues to forge the DBZ power into this Volume 3 of the Best of DragonBall Z. I appreciate all of you out there who are enjoying my American Soundtracks. Here are some more of your favorites from the epic saga of DragonBall Z. Listening to the affable strongman's Wrestling Rock (he's the braggadocios Earthling with the Dark curly hair) reminds of the character growth he goes through. One minute he's a jerk, the next he's a great guy just trying to help out the world. You've got to like him for trying. Bikers, Androids, young Trunks and Goten, Gohan, Goku, Vegeta, and many others make a cameo appearance in this CD of your favorites. From the zany to the powerful, there's lots of action packed into these tracks. It's DragonBall Z!
