Great movie and great soundtrack on Charly Records.
The title track is outstanding and different on film than LP.
The film's critically-praised title song, by Bobby Womack, was a #19 hit on the Billboard Top Black Singles chart in 1973, and was later featured in Quentin Tarantino's 1997 blaxploitation homage Jackie Brown. It is also heard in Ridley Scott's 2007 American Gangster,and as a background song for the video game True Crime: New York City.
Also Antonio Fargas(Huggy Bear) hits the bigscreen.
