Allee Willis left an enormous mark on music and culture. On top of being an incredible visionary and artist, she was behind timeless hits like Earth, Wind & Fire’s “September,” “Boogie Wonderland,” “In the Stone,” and other hits like “Neutron Dance,” “What Have I Done to Deserve This,” and the “Friends” theme song, “I’ll Be There For You.”
Not surprisingly, Paul Reubens and Allee became close friends. And, he is featured in The World According to Allee Willis through archival footage and interviews, offering insights into her creative genius!
🎥: Deep cut moment: At the “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure” premiere in 1985, MTV Veejay Mark Goodman and David Lee Roth gave a shout-out to Allee and her “Big Adventure” song. While it didn’t land in the film, it rocks our socks off with its quintessentially eighties music video (and, yes, you can hear Pee-wee on vocals!) and a super cool picture disc!
