Due to overwhelming requests, John Madara, through That Philly Sound, brings you the original, never before released soundtrack from the Ralph Bakshi cult classic, HEY GOOD LOOKIN'.

Performed and arranged by artist, Ric Sandler, the songs were co-written by Ric Sandler and John Madara and produced by John Madara.

Animator, Ralph Bakshi, came to prominence with his controversial film,"Fritz The Cat," that opened in April of 1972 to rave reviews. In 1975 Bakshi began production for HEY GOOD LOOKIN', which mixed animation and live action. Warner Brothers decided that combining live action with animation was not believable, so Bakshi went back to the drawing table and animated the live action scenes. HEY GOOD LOOKIN' was finally released in 1982, six years before the successful animation/live action feature film "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" was released. Ralph Bakshi's other credits include, among others, the animated features "Heavy Traffic," "American Pop" and "Cool World."

An exceptional talent, Ric Sandler has had songs recorded by Dionne Warwick, Jermaine Jackson, Anne Murray and many others. He continues to record his own music, including a multi-textured wonder called "Rhythmunderground" and his newest CD titled "1 God 1 Planet."

Along with John Madara's co-writing and producing contribution to the soundtrack, he also produced the Danny and The Juniors' hit record, ROCK AND ROLL IS HERE TO STAY and co-wrote and co-produced other international hits as AT THE HOP (Danny and The Juniors), THE FLY (Chubby Checker), YOU DON'T OWN ME (Leslie Gore) and 1-2-3 (Len Barry, who also co-wrote the song). John is currently working on a trance-dance CD and is in development on a feature film, AT THE HOP.

All Songs have been digitally restored and digitally mastered.

Adult animation rules.

It's by Ralph Bakshi, check out American Pop, Wizards, Heavy Traffic and Coonskin, all classic movies by Ralph.

Thanks for all your kind comments regarding the soundtrack. I was promised a label deal with RCA, but it fell through when the movie bit the dust. There have been many requests for a re-issue but so far, the only thing on sale is the soundtrack on CD Baby..

[stoneunturnedmusic]

@DaneYoussef Thanks so much for your kind observations. Your analysis of what our musical vision was for this soundtrack is spot on. This score was the 3rd one. I was promised a label deal with RCA, but it fell through when the movie bit the dust.

Does anyone know what the lyrics are.

[DaneYoussef]

The movie itself wasn't exactly a success in any regards. But nearly everyone who saw it was sort of blown away by this soundtrack. It found an audience all its own over time by anyone who ever heard it. There was just something about it--1950's music with 1980's acoustics One weird-ass hybrid. Like the ultimate cover song. Only this was the original. Never duplicated, never equaled.

This Song is AWESOME!!! Thanks for uploading it!!

Well Cameron and Zemeckis are geniuses for their modern Bakshi-esque projects since both are fans of the director Bakshi. Cameron has always been into adult animation especially European animation and Japanimation even the all ages stuff like Ghibli. Do you like American Pop?

[Johnlindsey289]

@VidGirl88

Robert Zemeckis did gave us a modern Fire and Ice known as Beowulf and you can tell how similar that movie was to F&I. Do you also like American Pop?

[VidGirl88]

@Johnlindsey289 The modernised version (cg overlay, animation based on mapped movements of the actor, etc) are similar in asmuch as it gives a more realistic feel to the character it's used for, and is just as labor intensive. I wouldn't be suprised if directors who want a more realistic feel would use those techniques. If done right, it really adds to the film.

@VidGirl88

I know and do you think stuff like Beowulf and A Chirstmas Carol by Robert Zemeckis and even Avatar by James Cameron have similar but modern use of rotoscoping animation techniques? James Cameron is a fan of Bakshi and wanted to do similar kind of animation.

[VidGirl88]

I adore Bakshi. Makes me wish I lived back in the 70s with his gritty animation style. He actually makes rotoscope look GOOD.
