In the October 22, 1977 issue, Billboard reviewed the album, saying, "Staples soulfully interprets the musical score, written and produced by Curtis Mayfield, of the flick starring Sidney Poitier, Bill Cosby and James Earl Jones. Staples and Mayfield collaborated previously on "Let's Do It Again", although then supported by her singing sisters. Mayfield's funky rhythms and evocative lyrics are among the composer's better recent efforts. While Staples' throaty vocals remain passionate, Mayfield's backup session men supply the funk. Best cuts: "Chocolate City", "A Piece of the Action", "'Til Blossoms Bloom" and "Koochie, Koochie, Koochie". - Wikipedia

This Curtis Mayfield/Mavis Staples sound of art was so slept on
When Mavis sings i feel it in my Soul!
This amazing woman has a voice of pure gold. The pairing of Ms, Staples with Mr. Mayfield is a sure treat. I am taping my feet and bouncing my head side to side as I listen wearing a smile.
LAWD this Album is 🔥. Downloaded the Dance scene, at the End of the movie, onto my phone. That's how much I love it.💖💖💖

All the songs on this soundtrack are on the money.....my favorite track starts at 11:45....this is the song that was playing at the end of the movie (the dance scene). This is 70's soul at its best.
