The Soundtrack To The Tv Mini Series And Molly’s Life In Music’
The soundtrack, aptly titled Do Yourself A Favour, features three CDs and a whopping 60 tracks. The songs tell the story of Molly’s remarkable life. The first two discs include the songs featured in the mini-series. The third CD is a bonus disc, tracks handpicked by Molly, including some of his favourite pop songs.
“Watching the mini-series and listening to this album, my life literally flashes before my eyes,” Molly says. “Re-Living In The ’70s.”
The two-part mini-series, produced by Mushroom Pictures, is screening on Prime over two weeks. Part one will screen on Tue 14 March, with part 2 screening on Tue 21 March.
The album features the key characters in Molly’s story, including Skyhooks, Sherbet and John Paul Young, as well as many of the international stars that have Molly to thank for their first chart-toppers, including Blondie, Duran Duran and Billy Idol.
The soundtrack features some of Molly’s memorable record productions, including Russell Morris’ “The Real Thing”, The Ferrets’ “Don’t Fall In Love” and Supernaut’s “I Like It Both Ways”, as well as contributions from close personal friends Elton John (“Kiss The Bride” and “Your Song”), Lynne Randell (“Ciao Baby”) and Kylie (“Locomotion”). And it’s filled with songs that recall classic Countdown moments, such as Cold Chisel’s set-busting “My Turn To Cry”.
