Why You Should Listen to Various Artists Jackie Brown OST 1997

If you are a fan of Quentin Tarantino's movies, you probably know that he has a great taste in music. His soundtracks are always carefully curated to match the mood and style of his films, and they often feature obscure gems from different genres and eras. One of his best soundtracks is the one for Jackie Brown, his 1997 homage to blaxploitation flicks and crime dramas.

Jackie Brown is a movie about a flight attendant (Pam Grier) who gets caught up in a scheme involving a gun runner (Samuel L. Jackson), a bail bondsman (Robert Forster), and a couple of dim-witted crooks (Robert De Niro and Bridget Fonda). The movie is full of twists and turns, but also of humor, romance, and nostalgia. The soundtrack reflects that perfectly, with a mix of soul, funk, rock, and rap songs from the 70s and 90s.

The soundtrack album features 17 tracks by various artists, including some legends like Bobby Womack, Bill Withers, Johnny Cash, Minnie Riperton, and The Delfonics. It also includes some dialogue snippets from the movie, which add some flavor and context to the songs. The album was released by Maverick Records in 1997 and received critical acclaim. It was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Compilation Soundtrack Album for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media.

Some of the highlights of the album are:

"Across 110th Street" by Bobby Womack: This is the opening song of the movie, which plays over a montage of Jackie walking through the airport. It sets the tone for the film, with its gritty lyrics and funky groove. The song was originally written for the 1972 blaxploitation film of the same name.

"Strawberry Letter 23" by The Brothers Johnson: This is a psychedelic soul song that plays during a scene where Jackie and Max (the bail bondsman) go to a bar and have a drink. The song was written by Shuggie Otis and became a hit for The Brothers Johnson in 1977.

"Who Is He (And What Is He to You)?" by Bill Withers: This is a tense soul song that plays during a scene where Jackie confronts Ordell (the gun runner) at his house. The song was written by Bill Withers and Stanley McKenny and released in 1972.

"Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time)" by The Delfonics: This is a classic soul ballad that plays several times throughout the movie, as it is Ordell's favorite song. It was written by Thom Bell and William Hart and released in 1970.

"Inside My Love" by Minnie Riperton: This is a sensual soul song that plays during a scene where Melanie (one of the crooks) seduces Louis (the other crook) at her apartment. The song was written by Minnie Riperton, Richard Rudolph, and Leon Ware and released in 1975.

These are just some of the songs that make up this amazing soundtrack album. If you want to experience the full range of emotions and styles that Tarantino has to offer, you should definitely listen to Various Artists Jackie Brown OST 1997. You can find it on Spotify[^2^], AllMusic[^1^], or Amazon.
