The music in the clip was Curtis Mayfield's "Pimp Chase" from the movie SuperFly.
ed didn't pose to that BTW.
From Joel Brandwein, Ed's webmaster:
"I feel like I should explain (defend?) myself a bit concerning this clip.
I've been on an absolute quest to find Ed's posing routines on film. So, with the help of Ed's old friend Bob Perata, I finally tracked down some VHS tapes of Ed guest posing in 1985 and 1987 (at age 51 and 53, respectively). Unfortunately the footage was pretty degraded. The actual VHS tape was a bit "time worn", the filming was a bit poor and shaky, the color was not too goo and the audio was unusable. So, I had to convert the footage to black and white, make it slightly slow motion to reduce camera shake and remove short sections where the camera man suddenly jerked the camera away from Ed. I also had to lay over some usable audio.
The clip that I posted on iFilm is a very short "encore" section where Ed briefly reappears on stage after his real routine is finished and hits some very quick shots for the appreciative crowd. The 12-minute long routing that precedes it, and will be on the DVD that we're releasing, is set to very dramatic music and is so beautiful and powerful that it makes the hair on your arms stand up. Ed and I felt that after that first long section on the DVD, it would be fun to have this short encore piece set to something "lighter" (like the SuperFly soundtrack music we chose), lest people get the impression that Ed was taking himself a bit too seriously.
So that's how we wound up with this short "teaser" clip which is neither a full routine by Ed nor is it set to music that he ever would have posed to.
P.S. – You should see the very brief footage from the 1987 exposition where a 53-year-old Ed gets on stage next to a 31-year-old Tom Platz and they briefly do a "pose down". Ask yourself how many men that age could hold their own next to a great bodybuilder like Platz who is 22 years their junior? "
