Johnie Lewis "When I'm Gone" - Video
PUBLISHED:  Mar 02, 2011
DESCRIPTION:
The song begins at 1:54.

Excerpt from 1972 Harley Cokliss film, "CHICAGO BLUES."

Featuring shots of autos cruising South Lake Shore Drive and the Dan Ryan Expressway; Robert Taylor Homes; CTA "L" station (probably 47th St.); African-American church service; Johnie (sic) Lewis' "When I'm Gone" (at 1:54), a Country Blues/Spiritual; montage of African-American family portraits.

Very good, obscure film. Unfortunate generic title probably hasn't helped its reputation. Director's name spelled "Cokeliss" on its IMDb page: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3026314/?ref_=ttfc_fc_tt

Cinematography by Tak Fujimoto (frequent Jonathan Demme collaborator) and Terry Bedford ("Monty Python and the Holy Grail").
