    00:00:00 Music Transition “Crown Ones” off the album Stepfather by People Under The Stairs 00:00:05 Oliver Host Hello, I’m Oliver Wang. We will be joined by Morgan Rhodes, my co-host, in the second half. She is stuck in traffic right now. But anyways, you are listening to Heat Rocks. We’re in the middle of our Music and Popcorn mini-series, where we invite a guest to join us to talk about a cinematic-slash-musical heat rock; and today we are rolling to Trip’s Pool Hall to play some Street Fighter and revisit Ernest Dickerson’s debut film from 1992, Juice. 00:00:29 Music Music “‘Nuff Respect” off the album Juice by Big Daddy Kane. Fast-paced, frenetic hip hop. Enter the dragon... [Music fades out as Oliver speaks] 00:00:48 Oliver Host Juice opens on a Harlem morning, with an introduction to GQ, Raheem, Bishop, and Steel, four teens who spend most of their days ditching high school and jumping fences to get away from the cops. What we think begins as an ensemble piece coming of age story takes a darker turn as Bishop, played by Tupac in his first starring role, descends into madness. It’s perhaps fitting that this psychological thriller would be directed by Ernest Dickerson, who had cut his teeth as a cinematographer for not just Spike Lee’s early films, but also the 1980s Tales from the Darkside horror anthology series and then later helmed horror comedies such as Demon Knight and Bones, when he wasn’t putting in lauded television work, directing episodes of The Wire, The Walking Dead, and Dexter.

  • Here Are Things I Needed to Say.” the Album Was Released in the U.S
    BURT BACHARACH Biography Six decades into one of songwriting’s most successful and honored careers – marked by 48 Top 10 hits, nine #1 songs, more than 500 compositions and a landmark 49-year run on the charts, Burt Bacharach’s music continues to set industry records and creative standards. “At This Time,” his 2005 album, which won the Grammy for Best Pop Instrumental Album, breaks new ground with Bacharach’s first-ever lyrical collaborations, supplementing the melodies which reflect the pioneering Bacharach sound. He says it is the “most-passionate album” of his career as “At This Time” marks the first time Bacharach takes on social and political issues in his music. Bacharach’s global audiences span several generations, and he is viewed as the unique combination of one of the greatest composers of all time and the ultra-cool cult hero of the contemporary music set who often has several songs on various music charts in many countries simultaneously. His many concerts are SRO, as he tours the United States and the world conducting orchestras and with his own musicians and singers performing his music. Along with Bob Dylan, John Lennon and Paul McCartney and Paul Simon, Bacharach is a legend of popular music. A recipient of three Academy Awards and seven Grammy Awards (including the 1997 Trustees Award with collaborator Hal David), he revolutionized the music of the 1950s and 60s and is regularly bracketed with legendary names, ranging from Cole Porter, to Sir George Martin, as one of a handful of visionaries who pioneered new forms of music from the second half of the 20th Century and into the 21st Century.

  • Dionne Warwick a LIFETIME of ACHIEVEMENT
    Dionne Warwick A LIFETIME OF ACHIEVEMENT Scintillating, soothing and sensual best describe the familiar and legendary voice of five- time Grammy Award winning music legend, Dionne Warwick, who has become a cornerstone of American pop music and culture. Warwick’s career, which currently celebrates over 50 years, has established her as an international music icon and concert act. Over that time, she has earned 75 charted hit songs and sold over 100 million records. She began singing professionally in 1961 after being discovered by a young songwriting team, Burt Bacharach and Hal David. She had her first hit in 1962 with “Don’t Make Me Over.” Less than a decade later, she had released more than 18 consecutive Top 100 singles, including her classic Bacharach/David recordings, “Walk on By,” “Anyone Who Had a Heart,” “Message to Michael,” "Promises, Promises,” “A House is Not a Home,” “Alfie,” “Say a Little Prayer,” “This Girl’s in Love With You,” “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again,” “Reach Out For Me,” and the theme from “Valley of the Dolls. ”Together, Warwick and her songwriting team of Burt Bacharach & Hal David, accumulated more than 30 hit singles, and close to 20 best-selling albums, during their first decade together. Warwick received her first Grammy Award in 1968 for her mega-hit, “Do You Know the Way to San Jose?” and a second Grammy Award in 1970 for the best-selling album, “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again.” She became the first African-American solo female artist of her generation to win the prestigious award for Best Contemporary Female Vocalist Performance.

After having his first Top 20 hit in 1957 with “The Story of My Life,” performed by Marty Robbins, his lush, poignant songs virtually defined and ultimately transcended the Brill Building pop of the 1960s. Bacharach went on to appear on the Billboard Hot 100 chart over 80 times, the vast majority of which were the product of his long-running partnership with lyricist Hal David. Together, they reached the Top Five with tracks like “Magic Moments” (Perry Como, 1958), “Only Love Can Break a Heart” (Gene Pitney, 1962), “I Say a Little Prayer” (Dionne Warwick, 1967), and “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head” (B.J. Thomas) from the soundtrack to 1969’s Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Bacharach’s work on that film resulted in two Academy Awards: best song and best score. In the ’80s, he teamed up with Carole Bayer Sager for a run of successful songs that included the number ones “Arthur’s Theme” (Christopher Cross, 1981, also with Peter Allen), and “On My Own” (Patti Labelle and Michael McDonald, 1986). “Arthur’s Theme” won Bacharach a third Oscar. In 1998, the album Painted from Memory, a collaboration with Elvis Costello, launched another recurring partnership.

    Burt Bacharach - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burt_Bacharach#Discography Burt Bacharach From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Burt Freeman Bacharach (/ˈbækəræk/ BAK-ə-rak; born May 12, 1928) is an American singer, songwriter, composer, record producer and pianist. A six-time Grammy Award Burt Bacharach winner[1] and three-time Academy Award winner,[2] he is known for his popular hit songs and compositions from the late 1950s through the 1980s, many with lyrics written by Hal David as part of the duo Bacharach and David. Most of Bacharach & David hits were written specifically for and performed by Dionne Warwick, but earlier associations (from 1957 - 1963) saw the composing duo work with Marty Robbins, Perry Como, Gene McDaniels, and Jerry Butler. Following the initial success of these collaborations, Bacharach went on to write hits for Gene Pitney, Cilla Black, Dusty Springfield, Jackie DeShannon, Bobbie Gentry, Tom Jones, Herb Alpert, B.J. Thomas, The Carpenters, among numerous other, now world famous artists. As of 2014, Bacharach has written 73 US and 52 UK top-40 hits.[3] Contents 1 Life and career 1.1 Origins 1.2 Early songwriting work 1.3 Style During 1972 ABC-TV special 1.4 1970s and 1980s 1.5 1990s and beyond Background information 1.6 Film and television Birth name Burt Freeman Bacharach 1.7 Personal life 2 Television and film appearances Born May 12, 1928 3 Discography Kansas City, Missouri, United States 3.1 Albums 3.2 Singles Genres Pop, vocal 3.3 Broadway works Occupation(s) Composer, pianist, singer, 3.4 Other recordings songwriter 4 References 5 External links Instruments Vocals, piano, keyboards Years active 1950–present Associated Hal David, Dionne Warwick, Dusty Life and career acts Springfield, Cilla Black, Carol Bayer Sager Origins Bacharach was born in Kansas City, Missouri, and grew up in the Forest Hills section of New York City, graduating from Forest Hills High School in 1946.
