Soul Hustler, also known as The Day the Lord Got Busted, is a 1973 American feature film starring Fabian as a preacher.[2][3]

Plot

[edit]

Singer Matthew Crowe (Fabian Forte) teams up with a tent show preacher (Tony Russel) who uses him as part of his touring show. Matthew lands a record deal and the preacher becomes his manager. They hire a group of musicians and become very successful. However, his new fortune increases his dependence on drugs, and his off-stage carousing threatens his career.

Production

[edit]

The film was shot in San Diego in 1971.

During production the film used the title That Lovin' Man Jesus[4] and later The Love-In Man.[5] It was also known as Matthew. Fabian filmed part of the picture at an Osmonds Concert at LA Forum – it was his first public singing performance in ten years.[6]

Release

[edit]

The film was released theatrically in the south but was a commercial disappointment.[7]
