35 years ago?? 😱😱

I know! It doesn't seem possible that so much time has passed, especially since the movie hasn't dated itself in any way. They could re-release it now and it would still be better than most of the new films in theaters right now.

Another one that I missed and will now have to find to take a look! Thank you, Jim!

Yes! This is a film worth checking out, especially since it's St. Patrick's Day.

Parker did a very good Job , Casting was excellent, too. It creates unforgettable moods, not only with the songs but also the small scenes of every day life. Parker loved his characters and it showed. I remember a live concert with Andrew Strong and at least the sax player from the movie- it was fun but I had given a fortune to be at the concert Wilson Pickett missed 😊

Hi Norbert,

Thanks for reading! I also would've given anything to be at the concert Pickett missed too.
