RIBS TPTD: At The Movies - Blaxploitation Style: Love Songs
TG’s Notes: Late drop on the mix this morning. The podcast file IS available for you to download (and I heartily encourage you to do so! {smile}) Hope to have the radio.blog playlist for streaming up sometime this afternoon.
Still at the movies, “Blaxploitation” style! This week we change the pace just a taste and focus on the mellow, love songs (for the most part that is) spawned by these films.
Once again, if you are interested in the best resource on the ‘Net for information about these movies and the music they inspired, I urge you to visit Blaxploitation.com. It is a fantastic site site full of information that you can’t (or at least that I haven’t been able to) find anywhere else.
OK. Got the big bucket of popcorn, a couple of boxes of Rasinettes, some Milk Duds. Yep, all set. So, settle back and get comfortable in your seat as we present this week:

And I thought I was the only one who loved the “Hospital Prelude of Love Theme.” You never cease to amaze me. Wonderful assortment of some classic must-haves.

See… now you got me smiling from ear to ear. The Willie Hutch soundtrack stuff is the bomb! I’ve been planning to do this “Blaxploitation” series for awhile. It’s a blast going through these old soundtracks and exploring the great grooves they contain. For example, I had forgotten all about “The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh” movie. For a so-so flick (gotta fess up, I did enjoy it when it came out) the soundtrack is really, really good!
Stay tuned for Part 3 next week on Thanksgiving Day…
