Does anybody know the names of the jazz songs that are played on the radio during the first act of the movie? I am especially interested in knowing the melancholy song that is being played after Carrie and Jessie Mae have the fight over Mrs Watts going through Jessie Mae's dresser draws to find her recipe. The song is being played when Jessie Mae berates to Ludie about Mrs. Watts going through her private property and Ludie shows his uneasiness in trying to find a way to ask for a raise from his boss at work. As Jessie Mae and Ludie are talking, Mrs. Watts overhears them in the living room. It is a soft sad like song.

I checked my VHS copy and my DVD copy and, aside from the Cynthia Clawson fantastic version of Softly and Tenderly and Chopin's Opus 18 number 1 being mentioned, there is no other mention of the music. I watched the "lost recipe" section and I didn't recognize the piece. I'm trying to get the soundtrack and, if I do, I'll let you know what is shown on it. (Meanwhile, if you find the soundtrack anywhere, please let me know.)

Did you have any luck in finding the soundtract? I too am interested in it for Cnythia Clawson's version of "Softly and Tenderly".

You can buy Cynthia Clawson's version of "Softly and Tenderly" on her CD "Immortal". You have to buy it through her website Cynthiaclawson.com.
