12AngryMen #14 (alternativesoundtrack #3)
(The Soul Stirrers - Lord Remember Me)
penultimate cut of the 12 angry and I must say that I'm looking forward to the end. this soundtrack has been the hardest of all to complete. mainly because of my foolishness in deciding to only throw down music from 1957, (the year the film was released), but also there not being any music in the film has made it difficult to edit in. sounds like a case of 'bad workman blaming his tools' !! so I'll move on....
the dialogue features the 'old man' whose 20/20 eagle eyes have spotted something that no-one else had noticed and the stoical cat whose conviction in the boy's guilt has been, until now, unshakeable...
the music, (another of my personal favourites), is courtesy of gospel group supreme the Soul Stirrers featuring Sam Cooke and is taken from their final recording session together on Art Rupe's Specialty label in, yep, 1957. the year that Mr Soul announced his arrival on the secular scene with 'You Send Me'. this one, a traditional gospel tune, is given the full treatment by 'the lion' as he roars out a plea to not be forgotten.
Listen tune...
