This mile-high-afro-good-slice-of-funk-chase-heaven is finally available on CD! Joe Simon's operatic/afrocentric theme evokes all those great memories of bell bottoms and butt-kickin', when it was all about the discoteque, and not about bein' 'politically correct!' And as a super bonus, two of Millie Jackson's greatest (and least raunchy) chart smashers are here. Be sure the wine is chilled, the sheets are turned back and the condoms are on the nightstand before you play "Hurts So Good." (And don't forget to hit the "repeat" button on the CD player). And I dare you not to tap your toes to "Love Doctor."

As for the soundtrack cuts? Well, it makes great fantasy driving music. Just be sure your purple fedora doesn't get in your way when you take the on-ramp to the freeway of funk!

If you still miss the Seventies (or at least the 'good' parts), this soundtrack is one of the many great time capsules that will transport you there...if only for an hour.

Cd follows diffrent events of the movie if you have seen it! You just no when a song plays what part of the movie it is.

I stumbled across this CD in a used bin several years ago and took a chance on it just because it looked interesting. Man, what a great soundtrack this is: vibrant and bubbling tunes full of funk and fire and jazz. The Millie Jackson and Joe Simon vocals tracks are naturally very good, but it's Johnson's instrumentals that are the real highlights here. Get this one!

One of my all-time favorite blaxploitation movies! This soundtrack is soulful and Joe Simon was the best (R.I.P.!)

boy love this album jj johnson, milie jackson, and joe simon put it down on here the movie's great too mc eiht and cmw samplwed the theme to cj on their classic growin up in the hood another plus you like blaxploitation soundtracks this is a must have.

It's about time! After all of these years, it is worth the wait! And it is also remastered, so you get that crisp recording as if it just came out. Please purchase this!
