Welcome back to Soundtrack Sunday! This week I have been to London Film and Comic Con and the major attraction this year was Back to The Future as they had Michael J Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Claudia Wells, James Tolkan, Marc McClure, Harry waters Jnr, Donald Fullilove, Jeffery Weissman Frances Lee McCain Ricky Dean Logan and Lea Thompson.
I didn’t go to their talks or try to get autographs as I knew these guys were popular, I loved the films and I know a lot of people do also, so this week I will delve into the soundtrack of this amazing film.
Marty McFly is friends with Dr Emmett Brown a mad scientist type who has hundreds of inventions, one night when some not so nice types attack Doc and Marty. Marty drives off in Doc’s invention a Delorian Car that catapults him back in time to the 50’s. Marty then spends time trying to help a younger Doc get him back home and also make sure he doesn’t ruin the timeline and wipe himself from existence.
The music in this reflects the era of not only the 80’s but also the 50’s and has an awesome theme tune that is something a lot of people love and can sing along to. I hope you enjoy the selection this week and if you haven’t seen the film, please do so, from what I heard the cast were amazing and so pleasant to meet, so watch and rock out to the sounds of Back to The future.
The Power of Love by Huey Lewis and The News.
Johnny B. Goode by Chuck Berry, Performed by Marty McFly in the film
Heaven is One step away by Eric Clapton
Back to the Future Theme by Alan Silvestri
Thank you and see you next time!
