Weekend Song
One of the songs featured in Matt Damon's new film "The Martian" is this Gamble and Huff hit by the O'Jays from 1973 (and if you haven't yet seen the movie, we highly recommend it), a song we've featured before, "Love Train." It doesn't have quite the same punch unless you see the "Soul Train" line dancers kicking it (featuring the late Fred "Rerun" Berry in the still, below, and doing the "slo-mo" at approximately 1:08). (Bring back any memories, Silver Spring Bureau Chief?) Fro's, hot pants and proof your parents could dance!
