I hope somebody else picks it up....I'm sure they will, hopefully before someone makes a big screen remake on "Different Strokes".Invisible Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08299734445263175345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3526861933315009124.post-37819447664919650862007-07-02T14:41:00.000-07:002007-07-02T14:41:00.000-07:00True, I seem to love movies with great soundtracks...True, I seem to love movies with great soundtracks. My husband and friends all hate Sparkle because they think it's too dark and too cheaply made.<BR/><BR/>Aaliyah along with Whitney Houston's production company was suppose to remake it some years back [obviously] but tragedy struck and now I don't think Whitney has a production company.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3526861933315009124.post-28005640591165984992007-07-02T11:25:00.000-07:002007-07-02T11:25:00.000-07:00I know what you mean, but a lot of the films invol...I know what you mean, but a lot of the films involved the black intellectuals of their day. Despite Bill Cosby's present day shenanigans, he and Sidney have always been considered highly intelligent. Gordon Parks, who directed Superfly, was a novelist, the first black photographer for Life magazine, musically scored films, the list goes on.Invisible Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08299734445263175345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3526861933315009124.post-86303289156123048172007-07-01T20:29:00.000-07:002007-07-01T20:29:00.000-07:00You are so on point...the soundtracks were key the...You are so on point...the soundtracks were key the the films of this period. And Curtis Mayfield...Genuis indeed.

I have seen it at least 200x's and can't imagine my life without it. <BR/><BR/>The soundtrack was Envogue's entire second album.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
