Diggin' In The Crates: 'Bustin' Loose' Soundtrack
As I was watching Bustin' Loose, featuring Cicely Tyson and Richard Pryor as they transport a rag-tag bunch of troubled kids to a farm from Philadelphia to Washington State, last night on cable, two things dawned on me:
- This movie is not as great as I once thought it was when I was a child
- I was only really watching the movie to catch clips from the great soundtrack
This soundtrack can essentially be classified with the rest of Roberta Flack's discography, since she is the sole artist featured on all of the tracks. This album, which is out of print and not available on CD, is rare gem for those who can find it. I was luckily able to find the track below which features a very familiar voice and frequent one-time Flack collaborator early in his career.
Trivia question: Why was production was halted on Bustin' Loose for several weeks?

i loved this movie. I watched it on demand tonight and cried when I heard this song! It brought back soooooooooo many memories. This was one of those movies that I used to watch with my father as a child. God rest his soul. I need this soundtrack!

Ms. Chantelrena | March 3, 2008 6:24 AM | PermalinkMy cousins and I used to play this soundtrack over and over..great memories LOL
DJ Diva | February 29, 2008 8:37 AM | PermalinkThe voice heard on the track with Roberta is the late great Luther Vandross!
SUDoll | February 28, 2008 4:53 PM | PermalinkI own this soundtrack. Kinda inherited it from my mom in vinyl form, then downloaded it years later.
Nikki | February 28, 2008 4:05 PM | Permalink@ Will & S. Flemming:
You are both correct.
ill Mami | February 28, 2008 4:01 PM | PermalinkYeah I'm with Will ... I think that was when that pipe lit him up.
S. Flemming | February 28, 2008 2:50 PM | PermalinkAre you talking about production of the album or movie?
K.hAYES | February 28, 2008 2:38 PM | PermalinkI believe that was around the time Rich accidentally set himself on fire. *smh*
Will | February 28, 2008 1:58 PM | PermalinkI'm gonna take an educated guess and say that production was halted because of the death of Donny Hathaway.
K.hAYES | February 28, 2008 1:30 PM | PermalinkYou can download this track and you stopped loving me on limewire
