Take Me To The River (Memphis, USA. Music From The Motion Picture)

 


Take Me to the River is a 2014 American documentary film directed by Martin Shore about the music of Memphis, Tennessee. It premiered on March 11, 2014, at the SXSW film festival in Austin, Texas. The film was released on Netflix in August 2016, two years after its initial release.

The documentary celebrates the inter-generational and interracial musical influence of Memphis in the face of pervasive discrimination and segregation. The film brings multiple generations of award-winning Memphis and Mississippi Delta musicians together, following them through the creative process of recording a historic new album, to re-imagine the utopia of racial, gender and generational collaboration of Memphis in its heyday. A related education initiative partnered with Berklee College of Music to produce a curriculum and events based on the film.

Joe Simon & J.J. Johnson • Dominic Frontiere – Cleopatra Jones (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

 


Cleopatra Jones is a 1973 American blaxploitation film directed by Jack Starrett. Tamara Dobson stars as an undercover government agent who uses the day job of supermodel as her cover and an excuse to travel to exotic places. Bernie Casey, Shelley Winters and Antonio Fargas also feature. The film has been described as being primarily an action film, but also partially a comedy with a spoof tone.

The movie is accompanied by a rhythm and blues soundtrack featuring Joe Simon singing "Theme from Cleopatra Jones" and Millie Jackson singing "Love Doctor" and "It Hurts So Good." Instrumentals on the soundtrack include "Goin' to the Chase," "Wrecking Yard" and "Go Chase Cleo". The soundtrack was a popular success, selling well over 500,000 copies.
