Lauryn Hill Was Almost in the Movie
According to Witcher, when the singer, who was still in The Fugees at the time, couldn’t get out of her set schedule to have a role in the film, she was more than down to provide a song. The end result? “The Sweetest Thing,” which was just the beginning of the star-studded Love Jones soundtrack.
“I almost had Lauryn [Hill] in the movie,” Witcher said. “The Fugees were on tour and I went to go meet her, but their touring schedule prevented her from being in Chicago to shoot. Obviously, I liked her and I kept her in mind. Then, I said, ‘I want a Lauryn Hill solo track.’ We sent her the movie and they watched it on the bus. She sent back ‘The Sweetest Thing.’ One by one, the tracks started coming in.”
