EXCLUSIVE: Quentin Tarantino’s tribute to late EMI music exec Pat Lucas (She took a chance on him & okayed the use of ReservoirDogs tune that launched his career)
“Stacey was a great friend of the project, and she wrote Pat a letter, sang my praises, and said, we’ll send you the script. She laid it on thick; ‘we think Quentin could be another Kubrick or David Mamet.’ These were her words. She wrote, you don’t have to do this, if the money situation is too much to overcome. However, if you are inclined to give a break to a talented artist coming up, we beseech you, he is the one.
Tarantino said that when he auditioned actors for the role of Vic Vega, aka Mr. Blonde, he told them he didn’t know if he would secure the song, and if they wanted to use another tune for their audition, go ahead. “Four different people said, ‘I tried to come up with another song, but this was just so perfect.
Tarantino long wondered how Gerry Rafferty, who co-wrote the song with bandmate Joe Egan and sang the lead vocals, felt about the use of the tune.came out,” he said. “They put it in a giant gas can, and interviewed Gerry Rafferty and he talked about how he liked the scene in the movie and thought it worked really good and gave the song a different context. It sounded like he liked the fact his song became a major focal point in an iconic movie scene.
“This is just one of those things,” he said. “I might have bumped into Pat at a party, but I haven’t really seen her since the early ‘90s. But I will never forget what she did and the part she played in my career. So I’m holding up a glass to Pat.”
