  • A beautiful song from a gruesome scene in the 1978 movie The Toolbox Murders. Sorry about the wavering pitch. This is the only copy of this song I have.
    Ripped from the Retro Movie Love podcast retromovielove...

    It's so good to finally here the official release of the song and not just the audio from the movie! I got so used to listening to this song in the movie, that it sounds different without the nail gun and other sound effects. I really wish they'd release the whole soundtrack. This movie had such a wide variety of amazing songs and music. It's impressive that the same guy wrote and sang all of them.

    Terri Stubbs was only 14 years old when she recorded this song with George Deaton. Years ago, her older brother and I worked at the same job together. We became friends and one day we were talking horror films and I told him this was one of my all-time favorites. He then told me this was his sister singing on that song. I thought damn, what a small world! He told Terri and she sent me an autographed CD recording of the song.

      @@revan1944 That has been the most difficult recording to find. I remember Dad playing that record for my brothers and I, before the movie was released. It was, along with, Pretty Lady-a single on Country Showcase America. Dad was still receiving small royalties from BMI, all these many years later. My older brother is Executive Producer of the CMAs so he knows many people associated with music labels, and i have all faith he will find it. An interesting story about tgat song, is Dad sued the band, Alabama, because their song "Christmas in Dixie", is my Dads melody, down to the exact notation, of Carolina in the Morning. It got to the point where Dad could no longer continue the lawsuit due to how expensive it had become. I found the entire lawsuit in an old briefcase. Listen to Christmas in Dixie, and see for yourself! When we find Dads song, i will let u know. Thank you for supporting my Dad. He was a great songwriter and an even better father.

      @davidfromlille That's wonderful to hear!! I am still cleaning out his home, I have come across headshots and early reels of his Wilmington based morning show, Carolina in the Morning and movie posters of Toolbox M., and the Disc Jockey. Found the album with Much Oblige Jack Greene and Jeanie Sealy, but haven't come across any Country Showcase America records in which Pretty Lady was released as a single on, as well as Carolina in the Morning. (IM the Tara Lyn in that song btw ☺️). But we are all looking for his quality recordings. I will let u know?? Please keep me informed of your tribute. 🥰

    I heard a rumor somewhere that the fella who wrote Pretty Lady had a crush on Kelly Nichols (aka the girl who gets killed with the nail gun), so he wrote the song for her.
