Скачать или смотреть Richard Bowen: "Knock So Hard"/"Phantom in the Rain"

If there is an issue with this upload, please leave a message in the comments section and it can be removed, if needed. Both songs in this upload are taken from the public domain film, "Down on Us" (1984), reissued to home video as "Beyond the Doors" (1989). *

As result of licensing issues, filmmaker Larry Buchanan contracted musicians to write and perform soundalike songs for his "what-if" movie about the deaths of Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and Jim Morrison.

Jim Morrison was portrayed on screen by actor Brad Wolf lip-syncing to the music of Richard Bowen.

Bowen was the lead vocalist of the San Diego, California, band the Source, which release one album, the soundtrack to "A Bullet for Pretty Boy," and two singles with American International Records (1970), all produced by Harley Hatcher.

Five of Richard Bowen's songs were used in "Down on Us."

While "Knock So Hard" and "Phantom in the Rain" acted as "Doors" tunes, his later, '80s solo material, "Sorcery," "Old Pictures," and "Holding On" appeared throughout the film as non-Doors, incidental vignettes throughout the film in the background for various club scenes, etc. For example: "Sorcery" is heard during a scene in a rock club restroom where Pam Courson, Jim, and Janis Joplin have a little tiff concerning Jim and Janis "hooking up" when Pam catches them.

While the original, orchestrated version of "Phantom in the Rain" was released as a single in March 1970, fronted with "Yesterday Is Gone," the version in the film is a new, non-orchestrated arrangement. The version of "Knock So Hard" in the film is also a different rearrangement that the solo single version found on You Tube (uploaded by others).
