Saw the theatrical release of Stony Island back in the '70s. Now, viewing this excellent making-of documentary, I have a much greater appreciation of what I saw decades ago.
I love Susanna Hoffs!
This movie inspire me to become a musician. I will be ordering the DVD. Thank U all!!!
Thanks for the memories. This is awesome.
love the documentary....saw this movie when it first came out.. had relatives that lived around stony island avenue..
My musical roots. I grew up there! ( but try explaining that as a white female drummer livin in la for the past 25 yrs. )
and Mahalia Jackson , and the ASTOUNDING Staple Singers ( Pop Staples, and daughter Mavis Staples - had a dark green long Cadillac).
I saw Muddy Waters (McKinley Morganfield) for 50 cents a beer, over on Cottage Grove.
And the EARLY Ray Charles (3 of us 16 year old white Catholic girls) on 66th St. (the management was so surprised they forgot to card us). We had exactly enough pennies to pay the bill.
STONY ISLAND? Please add 'Hitch Hike", the immortal Marvin Gaye - music video with that fantastic line: "Chicago City limits" is what the sign said....I'm goin' to that street called 63rd (and Stony Island")
And Cassius Clay aka MOHAMMAD ALI - Lived 4 blocks from Stony. Known as "All white, on white, in white" because he traveled Stony in a magnificent white Cadillac with white rims, white leather interior, and chauffeur so white and so short you couldn't see him. He blended in with the white leather.
GREAT GREAT GREAT MOVIE, 'Stony Island"
Pres. Obama's library and new education center is now being built AT 63rd AND STONG ISLAND.
Make sure "Stony Island" movie is a big featured part of it!!!!
