I’ve been going nuts trying to find out because I love that song, but I can’t find out the name of it. It’s not on the soundtrack CD or on the movie, IIRC, just in the trailer. It sounds like old Motown.
Help!
Te song is “Get Ready”.
The only version I know was done by Rare Earth. That doesn’t sound like them though.
Across 110th Street, by Bobby Womack.
Martha Reeves also recorded the song, probably before Rare Earth. I’m not familiar with the trailer, but maybe it’s her.
Thank you so much! The Dopers come through again.
Please try the version by The Temptations. That is likely the one you seek… 15 years later hahaha
Great movie, great soundtrack, and you are correct. Welcome!
I just watched the trailer. There are two songs in it. The first is The Temptations version of Get Ready. The second is Midnight Confessions by The Grass Roots.
This is the trailer I watched:
