Anyone like the Disco Version of Dave Grusin's BOBBY DEERFIELD Score Main Theme on the Original 1977 Soundtrack LP?
Here it is! Enjoy this Blast from the Past back to 1977, the SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER Era when every Soundtrack Album had a Disco Version! Goldsmith even had to do it on his COMA Soundtrack!
I edited the end a bit cause Grusin goes into an outro that just lasts forever. Like two minutes of the same phrase over and over and over and over and over again. And excuse the skips form my Original played a million times LP.
Grusin actually appears in the movie as a Lounge/Bar Pianist where Al Pacino and Marthe Keller are on the dance floor. Not dancing to the Disco Theme though. He's actually playing another theme from the movie Soundtrack called "Quiet Evenings". It's really cool cause you hear the music as a scene is ending and it just sounds like score and then you see Grusin actually at the piano playing the music on screen. The scene then continues into a montage of Al and Marthe together and the music now becomes the score for the lovers together. I love what Sydney Pollack the director did there. Source music played on screen becomes score. Brilliant.
Here's what Grusin looked like in the film at the time:
One day I'd love to see that BOBBY DEERFIELD album on CD. Maybe Intrada could do it as they previously issued THE DEEP (which as also on Casablanca Records) on CD.
I know the rights to this score might be complicated as the film was a joint production between Columbia and Warner Bros.
