A Tribute To Jack Johnson – Miles Davis’ original score to a 1970 documentary on boxer Jack Johnson has grown in to a landmark recording of the fusion era.

Pulp Fiction – Some of the standout tracks here include: Dusty Springfield’s “Son of a Preacher Man,” Chuck Berry’s “You Never Can Tell,” Urge Overkill’s cover of Neil Diamond’s “Girl, You’ll Be A Woman Soon,” and of course the song that opens the film, Dick Dale’s “Misirlou.”
