Sparkle (HQ Update)

SPARKLE

Missing from the soundtrack

While I do enjoy Aretha Franklin's renditions of the songs featured in the movie I would have liked copies of the movie version of the songs to also have been present on the soundtrack. Since that was not made possible at the time I've compiled the movie version of the songs in the order they appeared in the film for you all to enjoy.

Plot Synopsis

Irene Cara (Fame) and Lonette McKee (Round Midnight) sing and struggle their way to show-business glory in a Supremes-like girl group. Dynamite Curtis Mayfield soundtrack. Year: 1976 Director: Sam O' Steen Starring: Philip M. Thomas, Irene Cara, Lonette McKee

UPDATE

I finally upgraded from my worn Sparkle VHS tape to the DVD so this should take care of the audio problems some of you were having. Available for download are IPOD compatible videos and the movie version soundtrack.

One of my favorite scenes from My Best Friend's Wedding is the impromptu sing along to Dionne Warwick. However since the movie version of the song differs from the album version I'm including it for all fans of the movie.

Adventures in Babysitting

ADVENTURES IN BABYSITTING

AIB is a classic 80's comedy movie that I never cease to enjoy. If no one else had uploaded to YouTube my favorite scene from this movie I swore I'd have to share. Luckily one user (with amazing taste in movies if I might add) has supplied us all with this treasure to enjoy.

Fast Forward

FAST FORWARD

Once upon a time I drove my family completely insane by incessantly watching this movie when I was younger as my love affair with moving to New York to make it against the odds as a dancer took hold of me. So imagine my delight to stumble onto this gem one afternoon while surfing channels. I'd already been making clips of this movie to add to the blog from an old tape in my collection but I couldn't pass up an opportunity to upgrade on quality. Sure the movie is fairly cheesy but I am proud to claim it as one of my favorite guilty pleasure movies. Since I know I'm not alone on this one I'm adding Ipod compatible videos and a movie version of the soundtrack.

Lyrics to Lauryn's Impromptu Rap

Here I go on the microphone about to wreck it,
You thought a female MC couldn't do it but now check it
If the blues is what you choose I'll kick it Count Basie style
But if bebop is what you rock I'll kick the Monk or some Miles
Won't grab no Phillies, my style is willing if you let me
Or if I choose to 'cause women's lib said I don't have to
So think again before you test a sister
'cause with my girls behind me we got lots of power mister...
Oh oh
Who gots the flo' ...

Thanks to Standbyme on the IMDB forum for clearing that up for me, I won't even tell you all what I thought she said.
