Sonja Dunson – “You Can’t Buy Love” Music Soundtrack

“THE FEMALE SPIKE LEE” RELEASES “YOU CAN’T BUY LOVE” MUSIC SOUNDTRACK

 

(LOS ANGELES) – Renowned longtime film and TV actress Sonja Dunson (“The Female Spike Lee”)releases “YOU CAN’T BUY LOVE,” the companion seven-track music soundtrack to Dunson’s similarly-named, to-be-released movie. Set in Detroit, “YOU CAN’T BUY LOVE” is, in Dunson’swords, “an interracial love story triangle” in which the principals are a Black woman from a well-to-do family and a White male. “The parents disinherit her because (he’s) poor, not because he’s White,” explains Dunson, whose impetusfor creating “YOU CAN’T BUY LOVE” was“ to portray the upper-class Blacks.””

Among the disc’s Guest Vocalists: Talmadge Armstrong, who is a former member of the world-famous Platters. He has a vocal range of bass to tenor as well as perfect pitch. Armstrong is a combination of Johnny Mathis and Al Green, and is credited with being the singer who created Barry White’s style of singing. Armstrong will put you in a very sexy mood with his five songs on this CD, most notably, “So Much Feelin’ (In Your Love)” and “Please Make It Good Again.” Other guest vocalists include Linda McCrary (“another Mahilia Jackson”) and veteran singer-songwriter, Butch Dubarri.

            One of Hollywood’s earliest successful Black film and television stars, Dunsonhas  a distinguished  history in Tinsel town. The former “Miss Michigan Universe” winner was a regular on three long-running television series– “Lohman & Barkley,” “D.A.” and “Emergency,” and appeared in over twenty commercials while beingrepresented by the prestigious William Morris Agency. Indeed, Dunson earnedover 2 million dollars before the age of 24! In 1977 Dunson created and published BLACK HOLLYWOOD, which wasthe only Black casting magazine for actors and actresses of color.

            “YOU CAN’T BUY LOVE” – shot in 35 mm – was created on abudget of $120,000 which Dunson obtained via a grant from the U.S. Small Business Administration – one of only two producers to ever be funded for amotion picture. It took the ambitious Dunson less than a month to be approved by the SBA, which underwrote the movie project. A prolific writer, Dunson wrotethe title track on “YOU CANT BUY LOVE” as well as co-wrote another song in the movie and on the soundtrack, “So Much Feeling In Your Love.”

            “YOU CAN’T BUY LOVE” Music can bepurchased on CD Baby, Dig Station, ITunes, and other Internet sites. “If you are in love, ever been in love, or looking for love…you must purchase this CD!,” concludes Dunson.
