The Words On Flicks Show w/Janine Coveney: Biopics with Guest A. Scott Galloway

The long-awaited Elton John biopic Rocketman opens this weekend. So this week, Words On Flicks will take a look at what makes a successful musical biopic, why films can rarely capture all the facts, Hollywood’s hits and misses with casting, story arcs, and music, and much more. The films we’ll likely touch on include Bohemian Rhapsody, Ray, What’s Love Got To Do With It, Miles Ahead, Walk The Line, Get On Up, and more. This episode will feature a very special guest, Los Angeles-based entertainment journalist and prolific liners notes scribe A. Scott Galloway.

Mr. Galloway’s work has appeared regularly in Urban Network, Wax Poetics and the U.K.’s Blues & Soul. Among the 300-plus liner notes projects he’s written are  the 25th anniversary Deluxe 2-CD reissue of Curtis Mayfield’s “Superfly,” “The Reel Quincy Jones,” “The Best of Shaft” compilation of songs and cues, the Motown time capsule “Cooley High,” Gladys Knight & The Pips’ “Claudine” w/ “Pipe Dreams,” and the compilation “Super Bad On Celluloid.”
