"Across 110th Street" (1972) Hotney 9 Streams • 4 years ago

This is the Opening of 1972's "Across 110th Street" with RE-MIXED SOUNDTRACK: specifically instead of the original version of the song the film used, I've swapped out that track for the other more well known, more orchestrated recorded version, also with Bobby Womack on vocals, just to see hear how it would work. And man DOES it work -- albeit now minus some of those funky 70's rough edges the original version had (congas) which did give it that great 70s 'blaxplotation vibe. Anyway I've got both versions up here on the Tube so you can compare them, the original here
https://youtu.be/96WE2Nj-k-U
and this Remix one.
See what you think!
If you don't agree Bobby Womack just kills this song, man something is wrong with you!

Tarantino used this version of the great Bobby Womack's song in his film, "Jackie Brown". Not once, he used the song twice (!) Under the Opening credits sequence with Pam Greer seeming to float through the airport on the moving sidewalk (pretty cool shot) and then in the closing scene with Robert Foster. Both times to very good effect. More recently the same track was used in "American Gangster". So I hope Mr. Womack is catching some nice royalties.

I hope you enjoy this - it seems very popular and I cant get over the number of hits it gets.

More info:
"Across 110th Street" (1972) is one of the better Blaxploitation Films of the 1970's. It has some great 70's vibe and feel, especially for New York City and & Harlem back then.

"Across 110th Street", the song, is both well written and beautifully sung in this version - credited to "Bobby Womack and Peace". Bobby Womack is truly a gifted vocalist.
Finally here are the VERY WONDERFUL SONG LYRICS:

"Across 110th Street"
------------------------------
I was the third brother of five,
Doing whatever I had to do to survive.
I'm not saying what I did was all right,
Trying to break out of the ghetto was a day to day
fight.
Been down so long, getting up didn't cross my mind,
I knew there was a better way of life that I was just
trying to find.
You don't know what you'll do until you're put under
pressure,
Across 110th Street is a hell of a tester.

Across 110th Street,
Pimps trying to catch a woman that's weak
Across 110th Street,
Pushers won't let the junkie go free.
Across 110th Street,
Woman trying to catch a trick on the street.
Across 110th Street,
You can find it all in the street.

I got one more thing I'd like to y'all about right now.
Hey brother, there's a better way out.
Snorting that coke, shooting that dope man you're
copping out.
Take my advice, it's either live or die.
You've got to be strong, if you want to survive.

The family on the other side of town,
Would catch hell without a ghetto around.
In every city you find the same thing going down,
Harlem is the capital of every ghetto town.

Across 110th Street,
Pimps trying to catch a woman that's weak
Across 110th Street,
Pushers won't let the junkie go free.
Across 110th Street,
A woman trying to catch a trick on the street, ouh baby
Across 110th Street,
You can find it all in the street.
Yes he can, oh

Look around you, just look around you,
Look around you, look around you, uh yeah

(Great stuff huh?)

MR. BOBBY WOMACK PASSED AWAY IN 2014. RIP TO A GREAT ARTIST

Lyrics :

Nain tumko chuney,,
bs baat dil ki suney ,,
Dunia ko bhool kar ,,
Tere hi khaab buney ,,
Tujhme or khuda me koi fark na jaane ,,
Humto deewane deewane deewane ,,
Tere deewane deewane deewane ,

Tujhme or khuda me koi fark na jaane ,,

Hum to deewane deewane ….

Deewane deewane deewane tere hum toh

Maang lu mai tumhey koi sitaara tuttay ,,
Judkay na phir kabhi rista hamara tutay ,,
Raaton ka ptaa nahi kab savere hue ,,
Waqt bhi dekhaa na jabse tere hue ,
Tujhey apna hai kehna ve ,
Mai tere nal rehna ve,,
dekhne k dhundhay bahanay ,,

Humto deewanay ,,deewane ,,
