I have always been a fan of music, and have always loved Clint Eastwood and Jessica Walters in all of their movies.
The movie “Play Misty for Me” is one of the very first movies that proved that women aren’t as innocent as some pretend to be, and can be a Fatal Attraction as men can be!
Gator Creek Band a band out of Venice, Florida recorded a beautiful dance song that was a perfect fit for the movie, “Play Misty for Me!” This band consisted of the following:
Line up 1 (1970)
– Allen Beutler — sax, flute
– Dee Barton (RIP 2001) – vocals, keyboards
– Mike Deasy — lead guitar, vocals
– Kathy Deasy — vocals, percussion
– Kenny Loggins — vocals, guitar
– Ray Neapolitan — bass
– Mike O’Martin (aka Michael Omartian) — keyboards
– Gene Pello — drums, percussion
They created a fun dance song under “Mercury Records;” titled Dirty Boogie (instrumental) (Dee Barton). One of the most beautiful, fun songs I have ever heard.
Played in the opening sequence of the movie “Play Misty For Me” while Clint is driving in his Jaguar XK150 down the coast on California State Route 1 at Big Sur and across the Bixby Creek Bridge!
I love turning this song up as loud as I can and just losing myself in the music.
I hope you enjoy this song as much as I did when I first heard it!

The song is great! I could listen to again, but it would be better to be driving Eastwood’s Jaquar outside of Big Sur (actually there in 1979). Great movie, and Jessica Walters was scary indeed.
Yes, it is great! I can listen to it over and over again. I agree it would be so much in that Jaguar! Jessica Walters showed Hollywood she was capable of holding her own in that movie. She was terrifying!
It looks like a nice place to visit!
Driving the Pacific Coast Highway is one of my fondest memories. Two high school classmates and myself drove from Seattle to LA.
What a drive; and I can only imagine the scenic view had to have been incredible! “Priceless Memories”
Sorry I doubled reply…During a break at Church, I replied but it didn’t show going through so I did it again…Lol now I’m making it worse by doing it again.
Lol…no worries. I double reply myself. You didn’t make things worse.
I hope you have a great day!
You also!
Wow, I forgot about this song. Awesome rhythm to it. It’s been around 10 years since I saw the movie. I always loved the movie and I remember when it was played.
I’ve always loved the movie and that’s where I fell in love with this song, but never took the time to do any research on the band until a few nights ago.
I love the intro with that dirty sound.
I love the dirty I intro to this song.
