The Italian Job

"This is the Self-Preservation Society,
The Self Preservation-Society.

Go wash your German bands,
Your boat race too,
And comb your Barnet fair,
We gotta lot to do."

1969 The Italian job

In 1969, Don was asked to supply a couple of songs for a new film. He had no way of knowing what a great film ‘The Italian Job’ would turn out to be, but he would have done the movie whatever it was, because the approach had been made by one of the classiest, and coolest, of composers – Quincy Jones.
