"Let's Rock" by Apollo Smile

Soundtrack and Film score albums were rare until the 1950’s and the advent of the LP. Eventually the film and record industries would unite and capitalize on the co-promotional opportunities with artists like The Rat Pack, Elvis Presley, and The Beatles. The 1980’s were littered with films that followed this model and 1989’s Lost Angels attempted to cash in. It featured Adam Horovitz from the Beastie Boys attempting his best James Dean and Donald Sutherland collecting a paycheck.

Hidden among the more prominent artists featured on this soundtrack was a little know singer, and future dancer, voice actor, and stunt woman who called herself Apollo Smile. Her first single “Let’s Rock” was produced by Freddie "Groove Commander" Richmond and contained samples from Led Zeppelin and the cult science fiction film Aliens. It was a refreshing take on pop culture and a track that deserved a little more attention.
