Some of you may remember the Saturday morning animated cartoon series The Harlem Globetrotters as I surely do.  (1970-1972 on CBS)  Hanna-Barbera meets Meadowlark Lemon and “Curley” Reese and the high-flyin’, high-fivin’, slam-dunkin’est squad ever to cross 125th street!  And don’t forget their fictional bus driver and manager Granny, and Dribbles, their dog mascot.  Josie and the Pussycats, Hanna-Barbera’s other 1970 series, premiered 30 minutes earlier on the same day and network. 

This soundtrack album, The Globetrotters, was produced by Jeff Barry and released in 1970 by Kirshner Records.  It includes tunes heard in episodes of the series (during the basketball game sequences). Don Kirschener served as music supervisor for both the series and the record. Globetrotter frontman Meadowlark Lemon was the only member of the team to be actually involved with the project, adding occasional background vocals to some tracks.  Among those actors also providing voices for the series are Scatman Crothers, Stu gilliam and Eddie (“Rochester”) Anderson.

Original Motion Picture Soundtrack “It’s A Revolution Mother”  “Recorded on the scene where the action is”  An Entertainment Systems, Inc. Release  Here’s an odd but nonetheless fascinating time capsule of late- Sixties social unrest filtered through the mind of Florida-based sexploitation producer-director HARRY KERWIN. Yup, the man who made Strange Rampage, My Third Wife George, and Girls Come Too.  But lacking the funds to make something along the lines of an Easy Rider or a Wild in the Streets, Kerwin blissfully dispensed with both fiction and actors and, instead, went out and filmed The Real Thing. Combining (rough, raw) authentic footage of bikers, peace protestors, and the crowd at a rock festival, he created the mondoesque It’s a Revolution Mother! a self-described “Documentary of Love” tied together with an exuberant (and often hilarious) anti-government-anti establishment-anti-Vietnam-war-pro-rebel lion rant delivered by an uncredited narrator who sounds like an AM disk jockey on speed. THE ALIENS are a biker gang who let Kerwin photograph them on the highway, inside their squalid headquarters, at a weekend beach party, and a clubhouse. “They candidly discuss their lifestyle (“I’d say Jesus died so we could ride’”); order drugs (“An ounce of speed and 200 trips’”); bitch about hassles with the cops, the courts, and their landlord; and explain the difference between “mamas and old ladies.” One of’ em even pisses in a beer can for us. “Don’t let it snap your mind. You’ve got to groove with the biker crowd to know where it’s really at’” – Something Weird
