Subtitled "Music from '70s Black Cinema," this 14-track collection is a sample of when great music was a predominate part of every Blaxploitation movie in general release. Big hits like "Freddie's Dead" by Curtis Mayfield, "Theme From Shaft" by Isaac Hayes and "Trouble Man" by Marvin Gaye, sit alongside well-remembered moments from the same genre: Melvin Van Peebles and an early version of Earth, Wind and Fire on "Sweetback's Theme," Bobby Womack's "Across 110th Street" and James Brown's "Down and Out in New York City" to name a few, making this a compilation that's too cool to resist. Tracks from Rose Royce, the Four Tops, Aretha Franklin, Joe Simon, Willie Hutch, Gladys Knight & the Pips, Michael Masser and Mandrill and George Benson complete this wonderful little collection. Those exploring this disc from its camp aspect will be pleasantly surprised by all the simply great music on it. ~ Cub Koda, Rovi
