Probably my favourite song from the excellent 'Still Crazy' soundtrack.
"Strange Fruit" had everything that makes a legendary rockband: Money, Fame, Success, Groupies, a Singer who died of drugs and even a divine ending, when lightning struck the stage during an open-air. Twenty years later, all band members are minding their own businesses, the idea of a band reunion is brought up by, well, public request. Tony, the former keyboard player, sets out only to find his former friends working as a roofer, a gardener and a hotel clerk. They all became rather everyday people, married or still single, they definitely are not wild and crazy anymore. But with the help of former manager Karen, who is still dreaming of Brian, the apparently deceased lead guitarist, they all, old, fat and wrinkled as they are, try to catch that spirit again
Very similar to 10538 Overture by ELO...not a bad thing though! Didn't Jeff Lynne also write two songs for this movie, Dirty Town & A Woman Like That?

@wickeduncleernie I loved the movie, it was like Spinal Tap, but more realistic, the characters were obviously more real (to what extent I don't know), and the music, Man, like you said, amazing. that is if you like seventies rock. Which is obviously what people like Chris Difford and Mick Jones and Clive Langer are good at.
Anyway two thumbs up on that Movie and soundtrack, real music!

Excellent film and music. I think this song's got a bet Beatles-like quality. (My favourite btw All Over the World but this one is good too.)
