Music for The Color Purple

[charmax]

I am never usually stuck for song choices when it comes to vidding but recently after re-watching “The Color Purple” I decided I really want to vid this film and the song? - nowhere to be seen. Finding the right music that does the movie some justice is proving to be difficult. I don’t know how many of you on my flist have seen the film? It’s set early 20th century. What would you do? Do you have any suggestions? What I am looking for is either gospel, jazz/blues or a mix. I have looked at various artists both black and white singers but nothing has clicked yet.

Anyway if you think you might be able to help please comment. Throw some artist names my way. :D

ETA: I am open to instrumentals as well.

Oh I know Allyson's site! I haven't been to it for sometime though because when my old computer went kaboom that was one of the bookmarks that got lost. Thank you for pointing me to the link, I'll have to go see what she's done with the place since my last visit. *g*
