WATERMELON MAN SOUNDTRACK

The other day I was finally floored by the three straight weeks of rain that we’ve had over here in this part of the world. I refused to get out of bed or do anything productive. I had one of those days where I layed up and watched movies all day. It was kind of like a union strike against God.
That day I watched “Watermelon Man” for the first time… and was like “Yo people need to see this movie.” I realize that a lot of people have seen it. Once realizing that, I needed to find a way to post something both people who’ve seen it and people who haven’t seen it could benefit from. So I ran downstairs and had my man Kray help me get the soundtrack off the internets. I’m putting my favorite 2 joints up for download:
‘Love, That’s America’ and ‘Soul’d on You’,
both of which are sang by Melvin Van Peebles himself. He also directed, co-produced and played the main character in it. My kind of guy.
I’ve been listening to this for a good week now. I even slow danced with my lady to it.
And you can also hear “Love, That’s America” on this week’s episode of Chances with Wolves.
Which is a banger. You can listen to Chances on our WOLFBOX found at the top of the page or @ www.chanceswithwolves.com
And see the movie if you haven’t already seen it.
