Rodney Dangerfield - Rappin' Rodney

November marked the thirtieth anniversary of Rappin’ Rodney, the fourth comedy album by Rodney Dangerfield. It had been three years since his last release, a time period he spent working on films like Caddyshack and Easy Money. Sparked by his new found popularity, the record spent twenty weeks on the US Billboard Album chart, peaking at number 36.

Easy Money (soundtrack)

Welcome to another edition of Soundtrack Sunday.

This month marks the release of Easy Money, the 1983 movie about a hard-living man (played by Rodney Dangerfield) who stands to inherit ten million dollar. The catch: he has to give up drinking, drugs, gambling and every other vice he indulges so eagerly in. Also starring in the movie were Joe Pesci, Geraldine Fitzgerald, Candice Azzara, Jeffrey Jones, Taylor Negron and Jennifer Jason Leigh.

The film grossed $29 million in box office and also produced a soundtrack album. Today, we'll take a look at the music on this compilation to mark the film's thirtieth anniversary.
