Souper Fly

So this is another one of those posts that works to illustrate the way Nile Rodgers hangs over my music intake like an ID4 ship over a major American city. In 1982 Rodgers and Bernard Edwards produced the soundtrack for Soup For One. I haven't seen the film, but I have seen that the Wiki entry for the soundtrack is as long as that for the film itself.

The soundtrack featured a handful of Rodgers/Edwards tracks produced expressly for the film, including 'Why', which I've had on repeat since I got my hands on the Lindstrom LateNightTales, as well as the title track, which would later find its way into Modjo's 'Lady' (while we're at it, 'Why' found its way into a version of 'Bonita Applebum').

But that's all beside the point, and track I wanted to throw at you today, starring Chic vocalist Fonzi Thornton:

The song was slated to appear on Thornton's album (written and produced by Rodgers and Edwards) which, as of this posting, has not yet enjoyed official release. Maybe by next time.
