1987 The Big Easy Opening & Closing Themes with Credits

Here is the opening and closing themes, with credits, from the 1987 New Orleans film “The Big Easy” starring Dennis Quaid as Renny McSwain and Ellen Barkin as Anne Osborne. The opening theme is the fantastic Beau Soleil with their rousing rendition of “Zydeco Gris Gris”. The closing theme is provided by legendary Buckwheat Zydeco and his “Buck’s Nouvelle Jolen Blon”. I fell in love with Louisiana and the Cajun/Creole culture from seeing this movie before I ever lived there.
