​Jack Mack and the Heart Attack (from the album Live from Centennial Park, Atlanta, 1996 available on Free Roll Entertainment)
California Soul extended its reach into the world when Jack Mack and the Heart Attack formed in Los Angeles 1980. The band made use of hometown accessibility, finding themselves in many films with both music and appearances, becoming the house band for The Late Show. The music took the band around the globe, and they found themselves in the path of history when they were on-stage in Atlanta, Georgia in Centennial Park 1996. The group was performing at the 1996 Summer Olympics when a pipe bomb exploded. The event was chronicled in the recent Clint Eastwood directed, Richard Jewell, and when the production contacted Jack Mack & The Heart Attack about footage, the search through old tapes resulted in the release of Live from Centennial Park, Atlanta 1996.
Fittingly the album ends with “I Walked Alone”, the song Jack Mack & The Heart Attack were performing when the blast occurred. The track wraps up a set a sweet Soul music, Jack Mack & The Heart Attack offering Staple Singers standards “I’ll Take You There” and “Respect Yourself” alongside James Brown’s “Sex Machine” and Al Green’s “Take Me to the River”. The set balances originals with covers, including a medley of Sly Stone songs, the set the full recording from the night in Centennial Park.
