Brian's Song - Say Hello to My Little Film Ep. 304

It's Ray's turn at the February fun and he's decided to go a slightly different direction. He's decided to highlight a film that centers on the love between two best friends. For this, he's recommending to Rob the 1971 Sport classic BRIAN'S SONG! This film centers on the real-life story of Brian Piccolo and Gayle Sayers, two Chicago Bear rookies who begin their relationship as rivals for the same spot on the team to becoming the best of friends. But when tragedy strikes, their friendship is put to the test as the strength it takes from both could be more than either can bear. Portrayed by James Caan (THE GODFATHER, THIEF) and Billy Dee Williams (STAR WARS, MAHOGANY) respectively, this sports classic is heralded as not only being one of the best of the genre but also is considered to be one of the greatest made-for-television movies ever made! Will this heart wrenching tale of friendship and adversity prove enough to capture Rob's admiration? Or will the made-for-television production leave him wanting more? Tune in this week to find out!   THEME SONG: Music and Lyrics: Jeremy Catarelli INTERMISSION: Music: Jay You Voice: Jeremy Catarelli
