That Soul Song Was A Movie Love Theme?!

That Soul Song Was A Movie Love Theme?!

What 90s movie prominently features the Philly soul classic “Didn’t I (Blow Your Mind This Time)” from the Delfonics? Here’s a hint. In the film, the song first plays on a turntable owned by the main character played by Pam Grier. The answer is… Jackie Brown. Quentin Tarantino’s masterful use of music to convey certain moods and emotions plays well in the entirety of the film, which also features music from the likes of the Meters, Minnie Riperton, and Johnny Cash. But the Delfonics song is something special in the movie. Jackie and bail-bondsman Max Cherry’s interactions lean towards the possibility of romance, and “Didn’t I (Blow Your Mind This Time)” is their love theme, so to speak.
