Your Favorite Songs Used In Movies
« on: October 20, 2012, 11:33:23 PM »

I ordinarily don't care much for disco, but Laura Branigan sang this song so well...

Gloria

Laura Branigan - Gloria (HQ 1080p HD Upscale)




It was used for Jeanie's skating scene in Flashdance...

Flashdance (1983) - Jeanie's Skate Scene




Tragically, both Laura Branigan and Sunny Johnson, who played Jeanie, died due to ruptured brain aneurysms.

I always loved this little part of Dazed and Confused. Ironically, it didnt make the soundtrack.

From dont knock the rock Little Richards "Long tall Sally"
Little Richard - "Long Tall Sally" - from "Don't Knock The Rock" - HQ 1956

ElvisPresley   "Dixieland rock"

Another from the King from Girls,Girls,Girls..."Return to sender" the story goes that the great Jackie Wilson was just off camera watching Elvis film this scene and it explains why Elvis was doing different dance steps, he was doing Jackie Wilsons Steps and was smiling the whole time.
