"The Big Chill" Soundtrack, This Month on Cine/Spin

In the mid-1980s, classic Motown started experiencing a comeback.  This would culminate in the 1986 commercial featuring the California Raisins singing "I Heard it Through the Grapevine."  However, a small part of this rejuvenation perhaps can be attributed to a single movie and a single soundtrack from 1983.

The movie was The Big Chill.



The film featured much music from the mid to late 1960s, with Motown being the central focus. Two soundtracks were ultimately released and the original soundtrack features such greats as Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, Smokey Robinson  and the Temptations.

This month on Cine/Spin we will be featuring the soundtrack to The Big Chill played on glorious vinyl.
