Soul Kitchen is a 2009 German comedy film directed by Fatih Akın, with a screenplay by Akın and Adam Bousdoukos, based on Bousdoukos' story on his own experiences as the owner of a Greek tavern named "Taverna", where Akın was a regular customer.Michael Giltz (The Huffington Post) called the soundtrack of the film "a blast". It contains songs by Quincy Jones, Kool & The Gang, the Isley Brothers, Mongo Santamaría, Markos Vamvakaris, and Jan Delay. The film ends with Louis Armstrong's cover of "The Creator Has a Master Plan". Hans Albers is represented with the hit song "Das letzte Hemd hat leider keine Taschen" (The Last Shirt Unfortunately has no Pockets). The song "Soul Kitchen" by the Doors was originally intended to be played in a scene, but the rights to the track were ultimately too expensive for the filmmaker (But included in this new version), so he exchanged it for a song by Curtis Mayfield. Tracklist in comment.
