The cult classic 1969 film Easy Rider, starring Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, and Jack Nicholson, is not only remembered for the movie itself, but for the epic late 1960's rock soundtrack. Although folk rock trio Crosby, Stills, and Nash were originally slated to do the soundtrack, after watching the film, Director Dennis Hopper decided that their musical style wasn't the right fit for the film. "The Weight", originally recorded by The Band was used in the film but, was re-recorded by Smith for the films soundtrack.
