On this episode of #theopentabspodcast we take it WAY back to 1975 to cover a classic. Let's Do It Again was released in 1975 and was the fourth film directed by the legendary Sidney Poitier. Starring Sidney Poitier, Bill Cosby, John Amos, Denise Nicholas, Lee Chamberlain, Jimmie Walker, Calvin Lockhart and a host of others. Recent events have tarnished the image of the film but we urge you to revisit it and focus on the countless other great stars and moments. This movie still holds up very well and has an important role in movie history. Yes, we discuss the elephant in the room, but there's so much more and so much more great work done by some amazing performers to let us lose this classic! Either way, let us know what you think. Give us a listen on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Anchor.fm, or watch us on youtube. Subscribe to our podcasts instagram account at @theopentabspodcast .

After a long break, I am back with new content. The loss of Bill Withers gives me some very strong memories and thoughts. Sit back and reminisce with me.   Song credits: Lovely Day (1977) is written by Bill Withers and Skip Scarborough Can we pretend (1974) is written by Bill Withers and Denise Nicholas

(This episode originally aired 03/28/2019) The Album: Bill Withers: +Justments (1974)Despite the massive success of Withers's first two albums, Just As I Am and Still Bill, label problems prevented +Justments (his fourth LP) from being released on CD until 2010. As such, it's been a sleeper of an album despite how good it is. Withers was never the most confessional of artists but this album, which came about during the dissolution of Withers's marriage to Denise Nicholas (amidst accusations of abuse), is about as close to he gets to talking about his personal life via song. Meanwhile, scoring all this were former members of the Watts 103rd St. Rhythm Band, as good a rhythm section that any artist in L.A. could hope to be hooked up with.+Justments was the pick by L.A. soulster Joey Dosik, who's recorded extensively with Vulfpeck but has recently branched into his solo career with his debut album from last year, Inside Voice, which includes a cover of "Stories" from Withers's album. Amongst other things, we discussed how Dosik discovered this slept-on album in his ex-girlfriend's crates, how he learned his own singing voice by studying Withers's, and how drumming great James Gadson is supernaturally clean in the pocket. Note: the first half of our episode was taped in the MaxFun kitchen on a remote rig because the power had gone out in our building. We were able to get back into the studio properly for the second half but we apologize for the uneven sound quality of the first half. More on Joey Dosik"Joey Dosik Talks NBA-Inspired 'Running Away' & Getting A Pep Talk From Quincy Jones" (Billboard)Interview with Atwood MagazineTwitter | Bandcamp | WebsiteMore on +JustmentsBomani Jones on +Justments.Review on Popmatters."Ain’t No Sunshine In Bill Withers’ Masterpiece, +’Justments" (Trunkworthy)Show Tracklisting (all songs from +Justmentsunless indicated otherwise):Ruby LeeJoey Dosik: Game WinnerStoriesBill Withers: Ain't No SunshineCan We PretendHeartbreak RoadCan We PretendHeartbreak RoadStoriesJoey Dosik: Stories (Live)Joey Dosik: StoriesRailroad ManYouGreen GrassRuby LeeShuggie Otis: Inspiration InformationStevie Wonder: VisionsHere is the Spotify playlist of as many songs as we can find thereIf you're not already subscribed to Heat Rocks in Apple Podcasts, do it here!

Blacula tells the story of an African prince named Mamuwalde who in 1780 is cursed by the infamous Count Dracula and is forced into the life of a vampire. He reawakens in the 1970s in Los Angeles, where he must adjust to his new settings and begin his life anew. However, he meets a woman who resembles his long-dead wife, Luva, and it sets him on a journey to be with her. He kills/feeds on random people in L.A., and eventually is hunted by the police. The blaxploitation genre of the 1970s was full of memorable and original films. Taking the Black perspective on social issues and even recreating stories from other subgenres of its time, the era was a sharp cutout in the industry that was fresh and bold. One such genre hadn't gone untouched unto 1972, horror. That's where William Marshall dawns the cape and added style to the Dracula mythos with Blacula. Making the Dracula story his own, Marshall was joined by Vonetta McGee, Denise Nicholas, Gordon Pinsent, Charles Macaulay, and Thalmus Rasulala in this subgenre first.
