Can you suggest me some music for a Joe Frazier tribute ?

Everyone seems to try to do the other guy in coming up with these artsy soundtracks or background themes for these tribute videos. Most of the time however, "a cigar is just a cigar", and the most obvious choice is the best. Soul music, esp. the Stax/Sam and Dave/Ike and Tina Turner best describes Joe Frazier IMO.

 

bump

 

Definitely Soul Man. Joe even sang that one,himself,with his band.

 

This might sounda bit odd, but i was listening to Barabara Streisand by Duck Sauce when i heard Frazier had passed, whenever i hear thatsong i think of Joe.

I think the song would suit him.......the instrumental version anyway

 

i would choose some old 70ties soul or funk. like for example billy preston or bobby womack.

 

This is a much more recent song, but something about it just shouts Joe Frazier to me. If you're planning on doing a really in-depth review of Frazier's career, it might be best for covering the years after the Fight of the Century and Manilla.

Mustang Sally. Joe did a good cover of it.

i think a song that starts and slow, like a small earthquake, but builds to a mighty CRESCENDO is needed.

something that mimics his style: builds over time until it's an unstoppable, phil spector wall of sound, like force of nature

 

I am thinking Angel by Massive Attack.[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2wIkrX077c[/ame]

he should get all the best rocky soundtrack music, being one of theguys Rocky was modeled on.
