5.0 out of 5 stars Seventies Soul Starter-Kit, August 2, 2007

I'm embarrassed to admit that this fine film came and went without my getting up off my rusty-dusty to go and see it. I recently rented the DVD, and I recommend you do the same. The soundtrack is like a primer of early 1970s soul records. I already own 9 of the 13 tracks here (I can hardly imagine a middle-aged black man who doesn't). But if for some reason you don't have this music in your collection already (maybe you're not 50 years old and black), for the love of all that's holy, get this CD. You'll be glad you did.

The movie was really good. Too bad few saw the movie. The soundtrack transports you to another era. Thanks!

3.0 out of 5 stars Why the omissions??, September 11, 2007

By 

Billy Bassman (Blue Ridge Mountains) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Pride (Audio CD)

While this is a great collection of soul oldies, there are 3 glaring omissions from the DVD soundtrack that are unfathomable, and result in my 3 star rating.

First and formost--why on Earth would the classic "Oh Happy Day" (from Edwin Hawkins) be left off the CD? It was one of the defining sounds of the era and is a classic not otherwise available on most collections of the time.

My other 2 personal favorites were the 2 tracks by the seriously underrated band headed by Robin Trower, who did not deserve to be dissed by the CD editors by leaving them out.

The tracks included on the CD are readily available elsewhere and are among the most played on Oldies Radio--this CD would have been lifted from the mundane to the exceptional had those other 3 tracks from the movie been included.
