American Pop by Ralph Bakshi (1981)

American Pop is the soundtrack album to the 1981 film of the same name. The album was released on vinyl to coincide with the release of the film, but has not been re-released onto compact disc. According to director Ralph Bakshi, this is because the cost for licensing the music from the film has gone up significantly since the movie was made: "The amount of music was so spectacular in the picture - it would be millions."

An album much in need of an explanation, Prince Flo & Jah Edward I began life as a reggae-lite concept, inspired by the duo's discovery of reggae via the rise of Bob Marley. Like many Americans of the day, the pair was pretty clueless, but unlike most, they had connections. Thus, a record deal was inked with a small Florida independent, and arrangements were made for the two to record at Tuff Gong Studios in Kingston under the aegis of co-producer Errol Brown. Flo & Eddie duly turned up at the studio with a list of Jamaican songs and their own numbers ripe for reggae-fying. Brown tossed it in the trash, and gave the pair a crash course in "real" Jamaican music.

Pages was an American pop rock band active during the late 1970s and the early 1980s. Richard Page and Steve George had been working together for years in and around Southern California and had done sessions, backing vocals, written songs, for such as Michael Jackson, Kenny Loggins, Patti LaBelle, Rick Springfield, The Pointer Sisters, Donna Summer etc. Before the well knowed Mr. Mister, they recorded 3 albums for Epic and Capitol Records under the name Pages. The band consisted of Richard Page and Steve George on vocals and keyboards supported by various studio musicians, some of whom from time to time were considered part of the band. Although Pages was highly regarded for its well-crafted pop and jazz-fusion sound, the group did not achieve commercial success, and disbanded after recording three studio albums.
