Probably my favorite movie ever, just for the soundtrack (and Price's performance in the film wasn't too shabby either). <BR/><BR/>Back in the mid-60s, every group did a cover of I Put A Spell on You, but man, nobody nailed it like Alan Price. And that voice -- sure, Eric Burdon has a great voice, but Price's deserved to be heard more when he was with the Animals. There was always more to this guy than his amazing keyboard skills; he's incredibly versatile anad talented. His lack of recognition, esepcially here in the States, baffles me no end. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for posting this!Holly A Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17828633442418722187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-77201517940530090482008-04-28T09:29:00.000-04:002008-04-28T09:29:00.000-04:00Alan Price penned some of the most cynical songs e...Alan Price penned some of the most cynical songs ever written (they make Randy Newman sound like one of those apple-cheeked big-eyed kids in a velvet painting) for the film "O Lucky Man!"<BR/><BR/>Saw it in college, didn't understand it all, but fell in love with it anyway. And thought Price's songs were fantastic.<BR/><BR/>"If you have a friend<BR/>On whom you THINK you can rely<BR/>You are a lucky man..."<BR/><BR/>Neither friendship nor luck gets more conditional than that....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
