The Big Chill (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) [15th Anniversary]
Various Artists
The soundtrack to the 1983 baby-boomer flick The Big Chill salutes the evergreen nostalgic appeal of ‘60s rock and R&B. Marvin Gaye's sultry "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" sparks the session, while The Temptations' mighty "Ain't Too Proud to Beg" and The Rascals' organ-infused "Good Lovin'" keep things on the good foot. Procol Harum and The Band usher in a change of vibe with, respectively, the elegiac "A Whiter Shade of Pale" and the mysterious parable "The Weight.”
