    Sparkle (1976 film)

    Sparkle is a 1976 American film directed by Sam O'Steen and released by Warner Bros. Pictures. Inspired by The Supremes, Sparkle is a period film set in Harlem, New York during the late 1950s and early 1960s which follows the rough lives and careers of singer Sparkle Williams and her family and friends.

    The film stars Irene Cara, Philip Michael Thomas, Lonette McKee, Dwan Smith, Mary Alice, Dorian Harewood, and Tony King. Curtis Mayfield served as the composer and producer of Sparkle's songs and score.

    Plot synopsis

    The movie starts in Harlem, New York in 1958. The Williams sisters – Sister (Lonette McKee), Delores (Dwan Smith), and Sparkle (Irene Cara) – are singers in their local church's teenagers' choir along with their friends Stix (Philip Michael Thomas) and Levi (Dorian Harewood). The girls' mother, Effie (Mary Alice), works hard as a maid for the Gerber family at Long Island and struggles to keep her girls, especially the "high-spirited" Sister, safe. Stix, a budding songwriter who is in love with Sparkle, wants to start a group, and arranges the five of them into a quintet called "The Hearts". The Hearts enter a local talent show contest, which they win with the help of Sister's stage appeal. Shortly afterwards, however, Levi drops out of the group so that he can become an important man in the operations of local gangster Satin (Tony King).

    Sparkle (Aretha Franklin album)

    Music from the Warner Bros. Picture "Sparkle" is the twenty-fourth studio album by American singer Aretha Franklin album, written and produced by Curtis Mayfield. Released on May 27, 1976, the disc is the soundtrack album for the 1976 Warner Bros. motion picture Sparkle, starring Irene Cara. The songs on the soundtrack feature the instrumental tracks and backing vocals from the film versions, with Franklin's voice taking the place of the original lead vocalists.

    Despite mixed reviews, this album returned Aretha to gold status after two failed albums. The first single release, "Something He Can Feel", was a #1 R&B hit for her and reached #28 on the Billboard Hot 100. However, it was Aretha's only Pop Top 40 hit during the second half of the 1970s. The album itself reached the Top 20 of Billboard's main album chart and was certified Gold for US sales of over 500,000 copies. In 2009, it was reissued on Rhino Records' budget Flashback Records label. The songs "(Giving Him) Something He Can Feel" and "Hooked on Your Love" were covered by En Vogue on their 1992 multi-platinum hit album Funky Divas.

    by: My Life Story

    The greatest living painter
    Painted in a painted corner
    The greatest on the earth has never stepped on land
    I'm standing on a gold mine
    I could make it all mine all mine
    But I don't want your money just your...
    If you took my hand would I still be blind
    'Cos you don't sparkle, you don't shine
    Sparkle in my eyes
    And if you took my hand would I still be blind
    You don't sparkle, you don't shine
    Sparkle in my, sparkle in my eyes
    The greatest living singer
    Stuck inside a damp bedsitter
    The greatest on the earth has never stepped on land
    For services rendered
    A party full of great pretenders
    The champagne wasn't chilled such a dreadful oversight
    Oh why
    If you took my hand would I still be blind
    Cause you don't sparkle, you don't shine
    Sparkle in my eyes
    Oh no you, you don't sparkle in my eyes
    If you took my hand would I still be blind
    Cause you don't sparkle, you don't shine
    Sparkle in my eyes
    And if you took my hand would I still be blind
    You don't sparkle, you don't shine
    Sparkle in my eyes
    Oh no you, you don't sparkle, sparkle in my eyes
