Some of the most iconic music from the 1970s and some really glorious funk infused soul tracks on this album which was also where Hayes' meteoric popularity peaked. The score to the legendary blaxploitation film is spearheaded by its ubiquitous and game-changing theme song with some more mellow and jazzy moments in the mix. Arrangements are epic and show Haye's talents as a composer and the Bar Kays instrumentation as a backing band is right on.File under: Soundtrack, Soul, Funk/Label: Stax/Original Release Year: 1971
