#TuesdayTunes when American Graffiti came out it was some young people‘s first exposure to 50s & early 60s music .The film had bit parts for the then not well known Harrison Ford & Suzanne Summers. What stands out from the Big Chill, Rolling Stones “You can‘t Always Get What You Want” could be considered a key song in the plot. Not uncommon in that era for a group to allow it in film but not the soundtrack. To garner sales for their album?

TieDyeDude Interesting. I didn\'t know that about the Stones. Big Chill was a big soundtrack for us growing up. It was one of my dad\'s favorites. 3mo
Leftcoastzen @TieDyeDude rights to music can be tricky. I heard that they never issued the complete Drew Carey Show because of music rights. Some artists are ok with it appearing in a show or movie but not cool when it turns marketable by units , like albums & DVDs . 3mo

#LilithJuly #DooWop Some of the most collectible records are of early & obscure doowop groups , really a movement of guys singing a cappella on the stoops of Brooklyn. Some songs like Earth Angel by the Starlighters & some of the songs on the American Graffiti soundtrack like Why do Fools Fall in Love by Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers were big hits.Frankie had a voice of an Angel!They were from Harlem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q96ylFiQK_I

Centique Man what memories! My parents played those songs so many times when I was a kid 😍 5y
Leftcoastzen @Centique So I should be reading, when I got it out to take the photo, I had to listen to it.😂😍George Lucas was brilliant before Star Wars ! One of the early films to use original songs as a soundtrack, early Harrison Ford appearance..I could go on... (edited) 5y
Centique @Leftcoastzen 😂😂😂 That‘s one of the best things about photo challenges I think. Finding things to photograph and getting distracted by them! 5y

So it's Graffiti weekend here in Modesto California. We went to the parade tonight. I love nostalgia. As a teenager we used to cruise like they did in the movie. It's not legal now but they do up the cars shows. 😊
