Rob.

Clubbed (2009) featured some great soul tracks, one of which was 'northern'. The film closed with 'Blowing My Mind To Pieces' by Bob Relf who died just before the film was released.

Crying With Laughter (2010) featured 'A Day In Sausalito' by The Checkerboard Squares, played in full at the end of the film. The DVD will be released in January 2011.

There's a brit gangster movie from 3 or 4 years ago staring Danny Dyer'

I can't remember the title, but nearly all the film there are N.S. songs playing in the backround.

I am sure someone on here knows what it is?

Hi and thanks everyone for the tips

My jaw-dropper is ....... Walter Jackson "its an uphill climb to the bottom".........from the 1985 film

starring William Peterson........"To live and die in L.A."

This was a police type thriller,errrr, if my memory serves me well - and IAUCTTB had absolutely no connotation whatever to the film

As I said,........unexpected

In the film Once Upon A Time In The Midlands, "Bar B Q" by Wendy Rene comes on the car radio.

California Montage by Young Holt unlimited was the theme tune to the 1969 film "winning" which starred Paul Newman as an indy racing car driver

I'd noticed that on my copy. And the fact the it was written by Dave Gruisin - which inspired me to do a search. Turns out that he also recorded a version of it himself. Came out on album and on a Decca 45. Not a patch on Young Holt unlimited, more of an easy listening version in fact. Still interesting to those of who like to hear original / different cuts I think:

Well I clicked this link and it inadvertently took me through to a softcore porn vid as I was frantically trying to navigate away from this depraved filth, I couldn't help noticing that besides the tart playing with her jubblies, was a crackin' Lou Rawls number playing in the background ...

I can't remember the title ..'Front Room Fantasies' or maybe 'Misadventures at Megaboob Manor' .. Something like that .. :lol:

I remember seeing in the credits of the "National Lampoons Animal House" a bloke called Melvin Britt. A load of us went to see the film when it was released in 1978. He also did some of the backing vocals.

I was never sure if it was THE Mel Britt. Anybody know for if it was?

Could well have been..wasn't paying that much attention till I heard it.

Thanks for the link but it's not available anymore so I guess I'll never know.

Till they repeat them all next week.

Got a Bona fide

Kill Bill 1# Human Beinz -Nobody But Me.

Played when Uma is kicking the granny out of the Crazy 88.

Saw a documentary on Tarrantino a while back where he was going through his record box, he said it was one of his favorite tunes.

I can't remember the title, but nearly all the film there are N.S. songs playing in the backround.

I am sure someone on here knows what it is?

Found out name of film it is called "The All Together"

Songs include "Gonna Be A Big Thing" "Breakaway" "Open The Door To Your Heart" "Going To A Happening" plus loads more.

Quite often seen the name -MORRIS CHESTNUT-turn up on the end credits,

Don't know if it's the same one but.

Also there's Rat Race, from the Tony Curtis film of the same name-

(either the Elmer Bernstein or Richard Maltby version though)

Tony

Cant remember the film now, so I'm hoping someone else will.

There's 3 old black guys sitting outside a store and every time the store comes into view the old guys are back there again, commenting on life.

As I remember 2 of the 3 were old northern artists (the other being some old comedian possibly?) and it got talked about quite a lot on the scene at the time the film appeared. Could it be " a Spike Lee Joint " or similar? most likely a 90's film?

help !

The Three Degrees were in The French Connection . Don,t know about Mel Britt in National Lampoon but the great soul/blues artist Robert Cray was in it.

SEXY BEAST (2000) Starred Ray Winstone, Ben Kingsley, Ian McShane-The soundtrack featured DEREK MARTIN "DADDY ROLLING STONE Wowwwww!!

TO LIVE AND DIE IN L.A. (1985) Starred William Petersen, Willem Dafoe featured WALTER JACKSON "IT'S AN UPHILL CLIMB (TO THE BOTTOM)"

Must be quite a few more...

I'm pretty sure that's his son. Never seen a fil with him, I've always seen his name in crappy action stuff.

In the Boat That Rocked there might be a couple. Off the top of my head This Old Heart Of Mine by The Isley Brothers...

That used to be on a Mastercard ad in the states too.

When watching the NFL games occasionally we'd get an American ad before the producer probably watching Countryfile, spotted that he needed to switch the feed.

Regarding the Crying with Laughter film. A member of the cast is Jo Hartley who is also in SoulBoy and was in a short 2004 film called Northern Soul (Shane Meadows).

I wonder if she really does like Northern?

THE morris chesnut is in the steven seagal film " hard to kill"....unfortunately, NO TUNES!...as for "KILL BILL ", nobody but me works really well with the frantically-paced fight sequence...one of my favourite films for laughs and action...just how clever is tarrentino?

DO YOU KNOW....ive even witnessed steve karmen's " breakaway" being used as an intro for....the next game at gala bingo!

Remmber seeing it on the box, pmsl when dj throws a revilot on the decks and Alfie Davison comes out the speakers.

The Love You Save (May Be Your Own) by Joe Tex is in Death Proof. Excellent film and excellent song (not really northern though)

My mate Budgie told me of a porno film where some bird is in the back of a taxi driving through London's Hyde Park. Playing in the background was Third Time Arounds' "Everythings Gonna be Allright".
