Blue, Frankie
Jackson
Soundtrack from the film ''Jackson''! Frankie Blue Sposato is a film & television composer with a remarkable musical background. Frankie Blue, as he became known, attended Berklee College of Music where he studied with Gary Burton, Pat Metheny, Michael Gibbs, and many other notable composers. Following a move to California, Blue formed a new wave/rockabilly band called "The Automatic." They recorded an album for Miles Copeland's IRS Records. In addition, he also wrote and produced with R & B legends, Brian, and Eddie Holland (Holland Dozier Holland). Sony Records signed him to a writer/producer deal and he went on to work with Patti Labelle, Earth Wind and Fire, Martika, Phillip Bailey, and many other recording artists. However, he really felt the strongest connection with alternative rock writing and playing with Animal Logic (Stewart Copeland & Stanley Clarke), and then he ventured into the world of remixing and programming for such artists and bands as Tricky, Garbage, The Red-Hot Chili Peppers (Dave Navarro and Chad Smith). He also wrote and produced for such artists as Angela McCluskey (Wild Colonials), Lili Hayden and the Supreme Beings of Leisure. His transition to film composing came when he met writer & director J.F. Lawton at Columbia Pictures, who hired him to work on ground breaking series V.I.P. starring Pamela Anderson. The album contains 13 tracks.
