Permission to use song

We were scared that the record label of Action Borson wasn't going to let us use his song miss "Fordham road 86' 87' 88" this would of been a huge step back to what we were hoping our film would look like. This song was perfect to our movie because it brought the Latin tone and gangster mood that we were looking for. We wanted our song to show our characters back ground and let the viewer know the song is a big part of the opening of the film. We had send emails to Action Borson, his manager and the record label. They took a really long time for them to answer us. After we send them another email to all of them explaining in detail that we weren't going to use his song for promotional purposes they answered. They told us that we could use it in our school project and wished us luck. It was great news of them letting us use his song. This has let us continue our vision of how we want our movie to be. We already know when we are going to use the song in a way that's entertaining and adds a bigger message to the film. We really hope you like the song we used and that you can see why we picked this song.
