RE: OpenMic Night Contest entry - Paul Hallman - Let's Stay Together
One of my absolute fave songs. Love this. I always think Pulp Fiction, and that might be blasphemous to the song depending on your opinion of Terantino, but I don't think so.
@jessamynorchard Pulp Fiction is the first time I ever heard this song. I saw it in the theater when it came out, and I remember walking out of the movie shocked at what I had just seen. My teenage brain didn't know what to make of it. I still think of the back of Marcellus Wallace's head talking about how easy it is to throw a fight every time I hear or sing this song. It means much more to me now, but like you, Pulp Fiction will always be a part of this song for me.
In case I wasn't clear, Pulp Fiction is one of my favorite movies ever. Tarantino can be kind of a cheeseball, but that movie was f'ing genius. And Reservoir Dogs was just short of that. But my love for 70's R&B came mostly from the guys I played with in South Korea. That's when I discovered Stevie Wonder, and that Al Green was more than just a great choice by Quentin Tarantino.
