Jackie Brown: Music From The Miramax Motion Picture (1997 Film)

This soundtrack is from Oscar-winning writer/director Quentin Tarantino's movie, Jackie Brown. The soundtrack includes classic 60's and 70's hits from the likes of The Supremes, The Guess Who, Bobby Womack, The Delfonics and The Grass Roots.

"Stuck in the Middle With You" and "You Never Can Tell" now induce indelible visual images that have little to do with Steealer's Wheel and Chuck Berry their respective creators. They've been co-opted (and, some might argue, corrupted) by Quentin Tarantino, arguably the most music-savvy of '90s filmmakers. The soundtrack to Tarantino's Jackie Brown is heavy on '70s R&B (Bobby Womack, Brothers Johnson, Bill Withers, Minnie Ripperton) studded with oddities (Johnny Cash singing "Tennessee Stud," a track from blaxploitation queen/Jackie Brown star Pam Grier), and snatches of hardboiled dialogue. --Steven Stolder
