Speaker 1: It's nice ongoing Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2: Thank you, al and last hour, I've done three. I've
Speaker 2: got one more and this will make my twelfth hour
Speaker 2: of night sides covering Wednesday, last night, and tonight. And
Speaker 2: I've known this gentleman for a couple of decades and
Speaker 2: he knows his music, he knows his stuff, and periodically
Speaker 2: I pull him on the radio and make him give
Speaker 2: me information that you, the audience, will approach with a smile.
Speaker 2: And maybe a month or two ago, somebody asked me
Speaker 2: what was the top two movie soundtrack albums? And I guessed,
Speaker 2: I didn't know. I made good guesses. But why guess
Speaker 2: when I've got Cleo on my speed dial? So Cleo,
Speaker 2: let's yes soundtrack albums.
Speaker 3: Thanks for having me on again. It's I love being
Speaker 3: on with you. I just want to do it. I
Speaker 3: just want to do can I just said a couple
Speaker 3: of things before we start. A friend of me and
Speaker 3: a couple of friends went to this establishment in Worcester
Speaker 3: called Live Action Escape and it's it's in Worcester, is
Speaker 3: on Main Street, and we first went out to eat
Speaker 3: and then we went to this it's called Live Action
Speaker 3: Escape and we went there and we went to one
Speaker 3: of the rooms, went to the room called the Out
Speaker 3: of These, which is phenomenal. I had so much fun
Speaker 3: doing this. Now I'm in my sixties and imagine me
Speaker 3: trying to figure out trying to get escape from the room,
Speaker 3: and me and my buddies are trying to figure it out.
Speaker 3: We're like sitting there like.
Speaker 2: Is this one of the rooms? Do you have sixty
Speaker 2: minutes to accomplish?
Speaker 3: Yes? And you know, but the kicker of it all
Speaker 3: is they have a splatter room, which I've never heard
Speaker 3: of before. And while in the splatter room, they have
Speaker 3: a canvas and they fill balloons up with paint and
Speaker 3: you throw it at the canvas. I felt like Jackson
Speaker 3: Pollock the way and my buddy and I we went there.
Speaker 3: They supplied all the you know, the necessities, like the
Speaker 3: paint brushes, the aprons, the goggles. It was unbelievable. I
Speaker 3: had a lot of fun. And they also have another
Speaker 3: room which I might try to bring my kid to.
Speaker 3: It's called Something in the Closet, and they all on
Speaker 3: Friday nights they do fluorescent splatter, where you know, they
Speaker 3: take balloons and it's all fluorescent rights lights in there
Speaker 3: and you throw it against it and you can make
Speaker 3: a painting and it's it's a lot of fun. So
Speaker 3: if any of you listened listeners ever have a chance
Speaker 3: to go to the West Area, it's on Main Street
Speaker 3: in Worcester and it's called Live Action Escape, you will
Speaker 3: have a phenomenal, phenomenal time. And the second thing I
Speaker 3: want to bring up, I want to pay some uh
Speaker 3: we lost a great uh sportsperson who spoke who who
Speaker 3: dealt with sports. He was an EEI. I don't know
Speaker 3: if he ever came across Larry Johnson at all. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he passed away. I'm friends with his son and I
Speaker 3: actually interviewed him on on my shows. He came in.
Speaker 3: He didn't have to do it. He came in and
Speaker 3: I interviewed him on there. He he donated some of
Speaker 3: his paintings. And if people don't know who Gladdy Johnson is,
Speaker 3: first of all, he's a very religious man. Yes, him
Speaker 3: and Mustard. There's a call it there the preacher, right,
Speaker 3: and they call him the preacher and the preacher and
Speaker 3: the teacher. And I interviewed him and you know, and
Speaker 3: you know, talking to him, he was such a down
Speaker 3: the earth individual and he just he was like an
Speaker 3: open book. I asked him questions and he answered when
Speaker 3: he passed his funerals on the twenty fifth, So he
Speaker 3: passed that Wednesday or Thursday of the week before. I
Speaker 3: don't know the exact date, my right of November. My
Speaker 3: daughter told me and I went, oh, man, I called
Speaker 3: the son because I'm really good friends with his son.
Speaker 3: And it was just like a hod you know, like
Speaker 3: I didn't I had to work, I couldn't go to
Speaker 3: the funeral or anything like that. But he was such
Speaker 3: a such an inspirational guy. And the one story I
Speaker 3: could tell when nine to eleven happened, and you know,
Speaker 3: e E E, I went on, I don't know if
Speaker 3: I can say that those call letters about. If I can't,
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. People were calling in for the two days
Speaker 3: that they were on, and I listened. I never listened
Speaker 3: to a show for four hours straight. I did, and
Speaker 3: he was so amazing. People were calling in and talking
Speaker 3: about their feelings and this the power that the individual had,
Speaker 3: and as he was going from the religious religious aspect
Speaker 3: of things and just trying to get people comfort, saying
Speaker 3: everything's going to be okay. That was a tough time
Speaker 3: at nine to eleven and yeah, and him on the
Speaker 3: radio for the like I said, for the eight hours,
Speaker 3: like he did that. He used to do Saturday and Sunday.
Speaker 3: It was at one point, and it was such an
Speaker 3: amazing thing. And I said, I was teaching with his son.
Speaker 3: And I never put it together because his name is
Speaker 3: Larry Johnson. And I said, you related to the guy
Speaker 3: Larry Johnson on the radio. He goes, yeah, that's a
Speaker 3: and that's how I got to meet him.
Speaker 2: Did you the third member of this show?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Decratics And that's why they called the show the Preacher,
Speaker 2: the Teacher and then the creature.
Speaker 3: Yes, because this was.
Speaker 2: Called the Monster from the Bullpen.
Speaker 3: The corrector Moonbo corrector Moonbo.
Speaker 2: When he passed away, obviously they only reflected two names
Speaker 2: in the title.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, you're so correct and Morgan. You know,
Speaker 3: like I didn't want to be a wi downa but
Speaker 3: let's get to the fun stuff now.
Speaker 2: One that took us in this direction.
Speaker 3: But I just want to say something because again he
Speaker 3: was such a great man. And yeah, and he like.
Speaker 2: A great cartoonist and this pages of the Boston Globe
Speaker 2: usually weekly the Sunday. He would have a great cartoon
Speaker 2: and one comes to mind, where Channel thirty eight that
Speaker 2: used to cover Red Sox games had technical difficulties, so
Speaker 2: he showed a guy trying to work his TV antenna
Speaker 2: with a wire coat hanger hanging out of a window
Speaker 2: in an effort to get the best reception he could
Speaker 2: of the Red Sox on his TV. That comes to mind.
Speaker 2: That was a great, great illustration, and everybody and their
Speaker 2: brother knew what he was trying to convey. That they
Speaker 2: shouldn't have had the rights to telecast talks baseball. But
Speaker 2: I digress now, and.
Speaker 3: Can piggyback off or something on the on that?
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no no, because let's get to
Speaker 2: the show, and I'm about to take a break. So
Speaker 2: set up what we are going to be doing with
Speaker 2: movie soundtracks and then I can throw it to a
Speaker 2: break and when we come back, we'll stick to our subjects.
Speaker 2: So yes, take it away.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna top movie soundtracks. And I did two types.
Speaker 3: I did one from Billboard and I did another one
Speaker 3: that was the top roasting movie soundtracks of all time.
Speaker 3: And the way I did it, I did twenty to
Speaker 3: one and twenty five to one for the Billboard. But
Speaker 3: like I said, it depends on the time. I'll just
Speaker 3: probably have to go from ten down for the first one,
Speaker 3: ten down the second one.
Speaker 2: Okay, are there any that are in both?
Speaker 3: I did that. I matched him up, Yes, I did.
Speaker 2: Well. We'll find out the answer to that question after
Speaker 2: this break if you want to call in and talk
Speaker 2: movie soundtrack six one, seven, two, five, four, ten, thirty eight, eight, eight, nine, two, nine,
Speaker 2: ten thirty time here on night Side, Heard only on
Speaker 2: WBZ News Radio ten thirty eleven fifteen thirty nine degrees.
Speaker 1: Now back to Dan ray Line from the Window World
Speaker 1: night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 2: I'm Morgan filling in for Dan Coincidentally, Dan, a different
Speaker 2: Dan is fillian for Rom in the production room, and
Speaker 2: we're talking about the biggest selling soundtrack albums, an album
Speaker 2: that comes out like the Beatles are Hard Day's Night.
Speaker 2: All music that was in that movie is on an album,
Speaker 2: and that album is somewhere maybe on the top twenty
Speaker 2: five of album sold. And Frank Frank that I can't believe,
Speaker 2: I said, Frank, Cleo.
Speaker 3: I know we all hung out together. Yes, Frank is
Speaker 3: watching down on us right now.
Speaker 2: He is, Yes, he is. He is a good man. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Cleo has come up with a perilous tell everybody the
Speaker 2: lists again.
Speaker 3: Okay, I did the way I did. I did the
Speaker 3: top grossing movies that today I like the movies that
Speaker 3: the mo that sold a bunch of units from you know,
Speaker 3: for the movie to rank him as high as they are.
Speaker 3: And the second says the one that got from Billboard
Speaker 3: for they with the way they ranked it, the top
Speaker 3: movies that people loved to listen to, and you know Billboard.
Speaker 3: You know, I don't know how much Billboard's influence right
Speaker 3: now for music because they don't The music industry is
Speaker 3: so different right now. I just don't. I don't get
Speaker 3: how I don't get the new music for today. I'm
Speaker 3: an old soul. I like the older music so but
Speaker 3: the soundtracks. When I was looking through this, it brought
Speaker 3: me back to like to a time when I was
Speaker 3: a kid, because like, movie soundtracks don't come out as
Speaker 3: much as the way they come out as much. They
Speaker 3: used to come out all the time. Was always that
Speaker 3: one big soundtrack that came out and you mentioned Hot
Speaker 3: Days and Night. Hot Day's Night was in the top
Speaker 3: one hundred. I think it was eighty seven, which I
Speaker 3: was like, oh my God, that that was really I
Speaker 3: was really shocked to see that one of the greatest,
Speaker 3: one of the greatest bands ever that movie soundtrack because
Speaker 3: they had two on their they had Hot Days Night
Speaker 3: and Help, Help was Help was even higher than that.
Speaker 3: But I think for me, I thought I should have
Speaker 3: been higher. This is my personal opinion. So where do
Speaker 3: you want me to start? You only start with the
Speaker 3: top ten?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, give me the top ten? From
Speaker 2: ten to five on each list?
Speaker 3: Okay, from ten to five, I can do.
Speaker 2: That build and we'll get to the number one, hopefully
Speaker 2: by the end of the hour. But from ten to
Speaker 2: five on each list, go.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm gonna go with the top selling. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: go ten on. Start off with Tennis old brother were though.
Speaker 3: And that's so six on the eight million units, okay,
Speaker 3: and I The only song I know off that album
Speaker 3: is a Man of Constance Sorrow. I never heard heard
Speaker 3: that whole album. That's the only song I know from it.
Speaker 3: But I guess the movie overall, I guess it was
Speaker 3: a great movie. I never seen the movie. Have you
Speaker 3: ever seen the movie? No? Okay? So, and number nine
Speaker 3: that's so nine million was stopgun. Everybody knows top Gun
Speaker 3: and Kenny Loggins is the king of all soundtracks, like
Speaker 3: because he has a bunch of soundtracks that he sang on.
Speaker 3: So but you know, danger Zone was such a great song.
Speaker 3: That was it still is. And The Lion King is
Speaker 3: number eight, number seven, No, no, I'm number eight. I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: Number eight is footloose. I'm sorry, I'm jumping the gun.
Speaker 3: You okay? Footloose? So nine million and again we're just
Speaker 3: nothink Kenny, Kenny Loggins, definitely footloose. That's another one. There
Speaker 3: was a bunch of songs, so it's here for the
Speaker 3: Boy from Denise Williams as well as what was the other?
Speaker 3: Well those are only two songs I remember off that
Speaker 3: album now number seven which sold ten million, The Lion King,
Speaker 3: the Lion King, which I was just like and I
Speaker 3: like that that that movie. I love the soundtrack King. Yes, yes,
Speaker 3: such a great you know, I remember watching it with
Speaker 3: my daughter and you know, like everybody got sad when
Speaker 3: we Foster died. I mean I was a little bit
Speaker 3: choked up, and it was that was you know for
Speaker 3: a little kid and Disney I never would imagine and
Speaker 3: maybe you can answer this, but they never really showed
Speaker 3: death in the movie. But they showed death in that movie,
Speaker 3: and then they showed death in another movie. I forgot
Speaker 3: what the other movie was. That they had a death.
Speaker 2: They have showed death in number of times. I remember
Speaker 2: Bambi's mother. They showed death, old Yeller.
Speaker 3: Oh the death. Oh okay, Okay.
Speaker 2: I could keep going if you want me to.
Speaker 3: No, no, I want to get to number six, and
Speaker 3: it is Titanic sold eleven million, okay. And I gotta
Speaker 3: tell you, that's one of my most favorite movies, and
Speaker 3: that every time I hear that song, I just cringe
Speaker 3: aste beyond. And this is my personal opinion. Someone probably
Speaker 3: listening to the show and say, how dare you say that?
Speaker 3: But you know that's we have opinions. My opinion is
Speaker 3: I wasn't a big fan of that, but that sold
Speaker 3: eleven million doing it okay?
Speaker 2: And that's number six.
Speaker 3: Number six, number five. It's dirty dancing. And I actually
Speaker 3: seen that in the movies with and I just said,
Speaker 3: why did I why did they bring me to this movie?
Speaker 3: I didn't understand it? And I saw, well, God, this
Speaker 3: was back in when it came out. I had an
Speaker 3: ex girlfriend and she asked me that she she made
Speaker 3: me take it was like a date night and I'm
Speaker 3: looking at it. I said, can we see something else?
Speaker 3: There's other movies to see, and she was loving this movie.
Speaker 3: I mean we eventually broke up, but it was just.
Speaker 2: It definitely was now what's the other list?
Speaker 3: Now from the other list, let's go on the list. Okay,
Speaker 3: this is from Billboard and Billboard again. At the time,
Speaker 3: Billboard was there was to go to for everything. And
Speaker 3: at number ten for Billboard was High School Musical, which
Speaker 3: my daughter made me bring it to and that date
Speaker 3: it came out in two thousand and six, so my
Speaker 3: daughter at the time was probably at that age, so
Speaker 3: she was probably eleven, and she really was like she
Speaker 3: made me take her eyes sat there and the funny
Speaker 3: thing about it more than you're sitting in the movie
Speaker 3: because with a bunch of parents and the kids and
Speaker 3: they're dancing with the song, and I got him, man,
Speaker 3: I kind of got into it just because my daughter
Speaker 3: was dancing and singing and having a great time. I
Speaker 3: think I got more enjoyment watching her and watching her
Speaker 3: than the movie itself. And number nine is again, Oh Brother,
Speaker 3: We're Out. The We're Out though again the only song
Speaker 3: I know from that is man of constant Sorrow. Now
Speaker 3: this one is kind of surprised you got it still
Speaker 3: ranked the way it's rand Harry Poppins. I don't remember
Speaker 3: seeing that.
Speaker 2: Number on this list.
Speaker 3: Correct is number eight, and I was surprised of the
Speaker 3: there's other older songs on here that I was like
Speaker 3: this list. I checked it and it was today. This
Speaker 3: is what Billboard had as a go to reference and
Speaker 3: Mary Poppens. Let me see a couple of songs it
Speaker 3: won Academy Award and Spoonful of Sugar and yep, correct
Speaker 3: and super fracture Capitalists. That's alidocious. I don't.
Speaker 2: Us if you want to say it the right way.
Speaker 3: I looked at it and I just said, oh god,
Speaker 3: I never seen Mary Poppins and never saw it, you know,
Speaker 3: never saw it.
Speaker 2: If it comes on TV, I suggest you catch it.
Speaker 2: It's it's a classic when you think of the year
Speaker 2: it came out cinematically what it did that the key
Speaker 2: part already under ceiling, mixture of live action and animation.
Speaker 2: It is a club. But what numbers next?
Speaker 3: It's number seven? Who my favorite, one of my favorite
Speaker 3: artists of all time, Purple Rain. It debuted on August fourth,
Speaker 3: nineteen eighty four, and it was on the highest rank
Speaker 3: on Billboard hit number one, And for me, that's one
Speaker 3: of my personal favorite, Like I have a Cleo Top
Speaker 3: five that I actually like to go to, like when
Speaker 3: I put like if I'm driving and if I want
Speaker 3: to put a soundtrack on Purple Rains. When I listened
Speaker 3: to that from beginning to end, you know, from Dolan
Speaker 3: Nikki to Purple Rain itself, when Doves Cry and the movie.
Speaker 3: I always said that movie was like an hour and
Speaker 3: a half long. Video was a little bit of talking.
Speaker 2: Let me tell you a story, go ahead. I had
Speaker 2: a connection. The giveaways I get come from all over
Speaker 2: the place, like right now. My main supplier is the
Speaker 2: Mass Lottery. They give me stuff to give away and
Speaker 2: my club show. I had a variety of places giving
Speaker 2: me things, and one was a distributor for Warner Brothers.
Speaker 2: And I remember the name of the gentleman who gave
Speaker 2: me stuff. Carl Fasik was his name, and he was
Speaker 2: at four forty one Stewart Street, the building with WHDH
Speaker 2: had had the studios, and he gave me thirty Purple
Speaker 2: Rain albums to give away. Prince Prince was not commonly known.
Speaker 2: He was known but not commonly known, and I was
Speaker 2: given Way Prince albums in my club shows, and I
Speaker 2: actually had people say, will you got anything else? I said,
Speaker 2: I think you're gonna like the music on this album.
Speaker 2: I kept one and listened and it held my attention.
Speaker 2: But I gave away thirty Purple Rain albums to people
Speaker 2: who came to my trivia shows. You could have won one.
Speaker 3: I would have won a couple if I was there.
Speaker 3: I believe me because I knew who Prince was. I
Speaker 3: followed Prince from seventy nine. Even I still listen to
Speaker 3: Prince all the time. I think that when you talk
Speaker 3: about the odistry of a musician, he's probably one of
Speaker 3: the greatest artists out there, in the top five. And
Speaker 3: one of my favorite Prince moments was watching him while
Speaker 3: my Caita gently wheats on the Rock and Roll Hall
Speaker 3: of Fame. He did the Eric Clapton piece and he
Speaker 3: went into a whole different level of guitarist and at
Speaker 3: that point I just said, Prince, it's not a Hendrix,
Speaker 3: but he's definitely up there.
Speaker 2: Now, what number on the list was Purple Ring?
Speaker 3: That was number seven, So we're at six right now.
Speaker 2: Give me six and five together because of a break
Speaker 2: knocking on my door. So give me the two of together.
Speaker 3: Number six is Frozen. I had no idea what that is.
Speaker 3: I think that's a kid's movie and the gaddis of
Speaker 3: the Galaxy, which I have, and I highly suggest that
Speaker 3: you're going to pick up a soundtrack. That's the one
Speaker 3: to pick it up.
Speaker 2: You definitely Frozen.
Speaker 3: I don't know it. Oh, Cleo, I'm sorry, I don't
Speaker 3: know Frozen.
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that when I come back from a break.
Speaker 2: And okay, the remaining five on each side of the list.
Speaker 2: Here on night Side time and temperature eleven thirty thirty
Speaker 2: nine degrees.
Speaker 1: You're on night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ, Boston's
Speaker 1: news radio.
Speaker 2: We're talking about sound track albums and if you want
Speaker 2: to add to the conversation six five, four, ten thirty eight, eight, eight,
Speaker 2: nine to nine, ten thirty. This is Morgan Morgan White Junior,
Speaker 2: filling in for Dan Ray, who should be back on Monday.
Speaker 2: The Nightside microphone is his every now and then I
Speaker 2: get deminded and my guest Cleo Campbell, and yeah, hello, Cleo.
Speaker 3: Tell me people.
Speaker 2: Tell people about the two lists that you're reading. And
Speaker 2: we'll go five to number two on each list.
Speaker 3: Okay, I have two lists. I have one that's the
Speaker 3: highest grossing movie soundtracks of all time, and the second
Speaker 3: list that have is Billboards Top one thousand movies, and
Speaker 3: what they have for number one, I was totally taken back.
Speaker 2: Well, and we'll save the dead last.
Speaker 3: Okay. So at number five for the top selling thirty dancing, Okay,
Speaker 3: thirty dancing, and it's eleven million that was sold. And
Speaker 3: number four, which I have in my collection of CDs,
Speaker 3: is the first Gum soundtrack and that's sold twelve million
Speaker 3: copies because you know they have Fortunate Son on it.
Speaker 2: And the album of the sixties, seventies and eighties.
Speaker 3: Correct, it's such a great album. And the movie it
Speaker 3: trotted I think about five hundred and thirty six of
Speaker 3: all the movies that were compiled that people thought it
Speaker 3: was listed, and I was just like, I thought, it
Speaker 3: was a great movie. I liked the way back to
Speaker 3: the whole history. It went through the whole history of
Speaker 3: the sixties and the civil rights movement, and it's just
Speaker 3: such a great movie. To sit there and you look back,
Speaker 3: you say, I wonder if I can if that was
Speaker 3: my life. How would it be, I'd probably be like
Speaker 3: that a little bit. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Would you play wrong the way he did?
Speaker 3: Yes, if I could. I mean, I'm terrible at team.
Speaker 3: I came with ping at half the time. Number three,
Speaker 3: Number three, It's Purple Rain again and Purple Range sold
Speaker 3: thirteen million units and the fifty gave out. We could
Speaker 3: probably throw it out of there too, So.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 3: Oh thirty okay, all right? And number two this album
Speaker 3: was printing money and it had that Sweathog become one
Speaker 3: of the greatest actors of all time.
Speaker 2: I know the album and.
Speaker 3: Correct yes, and that that sold sixteen million copies. That
Speaker 3: album was just printing money. And you know, I think
Speaker 3: that album was the big thing that led to saying
Speaker 3: disco sucks. And you know, Beigi's in America wasn't too
Speaker 3: They weren't like too much after in the eighties.
Speaker 2: Because they were instead of staying in rock.
Speaker 3: Well they they a lot of people claimed that they
Speaker 3: were disco. They just put out an album and and
Speaker 3: to me like they had great like a lot of
Speaker 3: great artists on the trevirus, and I think that was cool.
Speaker 3: In the gang was Eman on that? Uh yes? So
Speaker 3: I mean I never had the album, but I know
Speaker 3: the songs, but the Beg's at the time because they
Speaker 3: you know, they just came off and doing Sag and
Speaker 3: Pepper and that was that. That movie flopped and then
Speaker 3: all of a sudden they started picking up steam again
Speaker 3: with with Saturday Night Fever, and that that album was
Speaker 3: definitely like that's now I'm we yet to have your collection.
Speaker 3: Now my second list.
Speaker 2: I'm going to go into because you've got a phone
Speaker 2: call for three minutes, so let me give Rick and
Speaker 2: Bell Rick a chance to add or subtract from your list.
Speaker 3: Hello, Hi, Rick, how you doing? How are you?
Speaker 4: How you moan? I'm thanks giving you guys. Yeah, it was,
Speaker 4: it was probably less than three minutes. It was an
Speaker 4: enjoyable listening to you guys. I turned out turned off
Speaker 4: the radio so I could sit my chance at the
Speaker 4: walking out of the room. But Saturday Night Fever, obviously,
Speaker 4: I mean, that's a that's an amazing record. And by
Speaker 4: the way, the Beg's they came out, you know, they
Speaker 4: came out of the folk They were kind of folk
Speaker 4: rock in the sixties, and then they came into to
Speaker 4: the seventies. But I wouldn't I mean, the Knights on
Speaker 4: Broadway Night Fever. Night Fever isn't on that? Is it
Speaker 4: on Saturday Night? I didn't think so. So they were
Speaker 4: kind of a you probably I don't know if they
Speaker 4: were a disco I mean, the Knights on Broadway isn't disco,
Speaker 4: but it's just big horn rock kind of like KC
Speaker 4: not disco, like funk horn rock, you.
Speaker 2: Know what I mean.
Speaker 4: I don't know, ye, but but yeah, but that kind
Speaker 4: of codified them as that was a disco album and
Speaker 4: then after that they die away. But anyway, but Eddie
Speaker 4: and the Crew was this great soundtrack.
Speaker 3: That's also I want this song that wasn't in the
Speaker 3: top it wasn't in the top five hundred a great.
Speaker 4: Album and it was I'm not saying it was or anything,

Speaker 4: Sammy Hagary. You had the style console shout to the
Speaker 4: album Daughna had some song and it might it might
Speaker 4: have been crazy for you might have been. But also
Speaker 4: another great song to Vision Quest was what what the hell?
Speaker 4: I'm sorry saying that.
Speaker 3: Ain lunatic fringe?
Speaker 4: Is that on Vision Quest?
Speaker 3: Yeah? It was a Red Rider.
Speaker 4: Well I know who it is. You know it's Tom
Speaker 4: Cochran's oll Ben, But but I didn't know that was
Speaker 4: on Yeah. Well that's another unbelievable song. And I was
Speaker 4: gonna say the other great one on Vision Quest was
Speaker 4: only the Young from Journey, which sounds like.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I just wanted to correct Morgan for a second. Morgan,
Speaker 4: you're an intelligent kay, And you just said a moment
Speaker 4: ago you got these records from this, this, this, A
Speaker 4: and R guy, a promo guy from Mourner Brothers, and
Speaker 4: you're given out you're giving out Proper Rain. But you
Speaker 4: said you didn't think Prince was was big at the time.
Speaker 4: Now a chance to craig yourself.
Speaker 2: No, I'm going to stick to my gun. It's because
Speaker 2: No Rain exploded Prince's popularity. Prior to Purple Rain, Prince
Speaker 2: didn't have anywhere near the popularity that he experienced as
Speaker 2: that album took off. Yes, true, Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 4: That's true. But he did have a little Red Corvette
Speaker 4: with Little Red Corvette in nineteen ninety nine.
Speaker 2: But no, he was he was known, But the popularity
Speaker 2: of Prince had not exploded until the first month of
Speaker 2: Purple Rain. The movie comes out, if it lasts four
Speaker 2: plus weeks, it's a monster. Most movies come out and
Speaker 2: they play out within three weeks to four weeks. That
Speaker 2: movie lasted on the screens for two and a half months.
Speaker 2: It was a monster.
Speaker 4: So you what you're saying is we're you just saying
Speaker 4: it at the time you got these records. The movie
Speaker 4: just came out. Yes, okay, so it was before the
Speaker 4: explosion happened.
Speaker 2: Was the explosion?
Speaker 3: I saw it?
Speaker 2: Actually it did.
Speaker 4: I was having banana cream pie. I might even stuff
Speaker 4: in my face at the time.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's from an episode of tune back then. I
Speaker 2: know the story of Jake Copper and the Banana cream Pie.
Speaker 2: And on that note, Rick, I'm saying.
Speaker 3: I go be well, be well, guys, all right, what's
Speaker 3: colin Rick?
Speaker 2: Let me take my break. When we come back, we'll
Speaker 2: finish off both lists and have roughly about eight minutes
Speaker 2: to do it. Time and temperature eleven forty five thirty
Speaker 2: nine degrees.
Speaker 1: Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World
Speaker 1: night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 2: All right, clear, we have roughly seven to eight minutes
Speaker 2: to finish both lists, so let's.
Speaker 3: Do Let's finish off the top growth in one first
Speaker 3: and then we could finish Shadowing.
Speaker 2: Okay, So.
Speaker 3: This number one film, so eighteen million, and the movie
Speaker 3: was called The Bodyguide, which was Whitney Houston and Kevin
Speaker 3: Costner when he did the movie go Ahead.
Speaker 2: He because my producer Dan, he was calling you. You
Speaker 2: hadn't even been on the air to mention any of these,
Speaker 2: and he guessed it would be The Bodyguard. Yes, Dan,
Speaker 2: pat yourself in the back.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Dan, give yourself a big pad in the back.
Speaker 3: For the top because that movie, which is kind of weird.
Speaker 3: I thought it was originally written for Steve McQueen and
Speaker 3: Diana Ross, which is kind of weird. I mean, am
Speaker 3: I right? That's what I heard you? Okay, So I
Speaker 3: feel good that I lose something. Okay, So I'll give
Speaker 3: you the top five from the like, well the top
Speaker 3: four actually because I mentioned The Guardians of the Galaxy
Speaker 3: being number five, which is one of my favorite albums
Speaker 3: to listen to. Number four again Saturday Night Fever and
Speaker 3: that built you know, obviously, that debuted in the twenty
Speaker 3: first of January nineteen seventy eight, and it was on
Speaker 3: Billboard the highest ranking and I think it was on
Speaker 3: for like like forever, like eight weeks at number one,
Speaker 3: and it was definitely up there because some of the
Speaker 3: sounds they have are stand Alive, Jag Talk, and how
Speaker 3: Deep is Your Love which crossed over to the Black
Speaker 3: on the Black channels, which you know they were playing
Speaker 3: it because the Beg's had a soulful sound to them.
Speaker 3: Excuse me, and Boogie Shoes, Disco Infernal, that's another one
Speaker 3: that I really I forgot. Disco Infernal was definitely I
Speaker 3: totally forgot it was on that album. And number three
Speaker 3: is on The Bodyguard and again that a pied that
Speaker 3: came out December twelfth, nineteen ninety two, and that was
Speaker 3: at number one. That was a number one for about
Speaker 3: It was on Billboards top one hundred on consecutively for
Speaker 3: like saying let me see about fifty some odd weeks.
Speaker 3: There was something ridiculous like that. And number two when
Speaker 3: I say this morning, you'll probably be like, are you
Speaker 3: kidding me? Doctor Chivago. It came out November sixth, nineteen
Speaker 3: sixty six. I was just three years old.
Speaker 2: That's okay, I was a bit older, but.
Speaker 3: I don't know anywhere.
Speaker 2: I Love was one of the songs on that album.
Speaker 3: It definitely was. And the film won five Oscars. I
Speaker 3: can see why. It was like one of the greatest
Speaker 3: soundtracks ever and best original movie Score. I also have
Speaker 3: a list for that too, so but I don't know
Speaker 3: if we'll be able to make that one and number
Speaker 3: one go ahead. No, so have we hit number one yet,
Speaker 3: but we're gonna do Chivogo's number two. Number one is.
Speaker 3: I cringe when I saw this the sound of Music.
Speaker 2: That album owned America, owned America because it had a
Speaker 2: major run on Broadway. Julie Andrews could she could not
Speaker 2: do anything wrong. I'm surprised she didn't come up with
Speaker 2: a cure for cancer. Julian Andrews was so popular. And
Speaker 2: every song, how do you solve a proper Mike Maria Dough,
Speaker 2: a deer, a female, Dear you are sixteen, I am seventeen.
Speaker 2: Every song was a monster. And they didn't release songs
Speaker 2: off that album, like making forty five and people went
Speaker 2: to this store and bought the forty five. People went
Speaker 2: to the store and bought the album. Yeah, and you're
Speaker 2: proving with that statistic, yes.
Speaker 3: And the funny thing about it, you know, I look
Speaker 3: at some of the dates some of these albums came
Speaker 3: out and the sixties, and they're still relevant today, like
Speaker 3: in the album sales and people still probably buy these
Speaker 3: albums like I know, for instance, the Beatles outsell the
Speaker 3: Rolling Stones overall three to one still because the Beatles
Speaker 3: are just that good, right and the Stones, I mean
Speaker 3: for every one album that so on buying from the
Speaker 3: Roman Stones, the Beatles are selling three. I mean, you know,
Speaker 3: maybe like the ground of music by Side.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you why, very simply. The Beatles were much
Speaker 2: less offensive across the board, while the Rolling Stones the
Speaker 2: bad boys of rock and roll. They had baggage, and
Speaker 2: a lot of people didn't want to deal with the baggage.
Speaker 2: And if you have ten bucks in your pocket, you
Speaker 2: can only afford one album. Do you want to buy
Speaker 2: some Ji and Pepper? Do you want to buy sticky Fingers?
Speaker 2: Just the nixt fingers and the look of the album cover,
Speaker 2: You're gonna want to buy Sergeant Pepper's.
Speaker 3: Yeah, But Andy Walha is a genius to do that.
Speaker 3: It warped a lot of albums. If you have the
Speaker 3: original album that that's a classic, can't get rid of it.
Speaker 2: I understand that. And for those of you who are
Speaker 2: young and don't know, they had a man in jeans
Speaker 2: allegedly Mick Jagger that you only saw from basically the
Speaker 2: waist down and there was a zipper on the jeans
Speaker 2: on the album A Real Fly, and a lot of
Speaker 2: people speculated that it represented how Mick Jagger would look
Speaker 2: in actual time. I'm tippy as best I can.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're teething and clean.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that album sold so well just because of
Speaker 2: the novelty, the novelty of a real zipper on the
Speaker 2: album jacket. So now have we done number one on
Speaker 2: both of your lists?
Speaker 3: Yes, we have. And for music scores, I just want
Speaker 3: to tell you the top person, and that was John Williams.
Speaker 3: Star Wars was like, yeah, the for me movie scores.
Speaker 3: And then Vangelis Chariots of Fire. That's that's in the
Speaker 3: list of the chop Yeah, such a great such a
Speaker 3: great song because because that was on the that was
Speaker 3: that was in the charts for a long time, you know,
Speaker 3: uh yeah, definitely was. But John Williams, I mean he
Speaker 3: did everybody like Raders of the Lost doc do e
Speaker 3: T I think he did et.
Speaker 2: All right, cleil, I gotta go because time is almost
Speaker 2: step okay.
Speaker 3: Morgan.
Speaker 2: And you have you on again?
Speaker 3: Yeah Morgan again. I want to say thank you for
Speaker 3: having me on. And you know, as you once said
Speaker 3: to me, just one time.
