Willie Hutch - Slick HD: The Mack
Музыка
The Mack is a 1973 blaxploitation film starring Max Julien and Richard Pryor. Although the movie was produced during the era of such blaxploitation movies as Dolemite, its producers do not label it a true blaxploitation picture. They believe it to be a social commentary, according to Mackin' Ain't Easy, a documentary about the making of the film, which can be found on the DVD edition. The movie is set in Oakland, California and was the biggest-grossing blaxploitation film of its time. Its soundtrack was recorded by Motown artist Willie Hutch.
The movie deals with the life of John Mickens (AKA Goldie), a former drug dealer recently released from prison who becomes a big-time pimp. Standing in his way is another pimp named Pretty Tony, two corrupt white cops, a local crime lord, and even his own black nationalist brother, who try to force him out of the business. The movie contains several actual and former pimps.
Born Willie McKinley Hutchinson in 1944 in Los Angeles, California, Hutch was raised in Dallas, Texas and joined a doo-wop group, The Ambassadors, as a teenager. After graduating from Booker T. Washington High, Hutch shortened his last name as he started his music career in 1964 on the Soul City label with the song, "Love Has Put Me Down."
Moving to Los Angeles, his music eventually caught the eye of the mentor for pop/soul quintet The 5th Dimension, and Hutch was soon writing, producing, and arranging songs for the group. In 1969, he signed with RCA Records and put out two albums before he was spotted by Motown producer Hal Davis, who wanted lyrics to his musical composition "I'll Be There," which was to be for The Jackson 5. The song was recorded by the group the next morning after Hutch received the call. Motown CEO Berry Gordy signed Hutch to be a staff writer, arranger, producer, and musician shortly there afterward.
Hutch's later collaborations would be with the Jackson 5 and their front man Michael Jackson, Smokey Robinson, the newly rechristened Miracles and Marvin Gaye. In 1973, Hutch started recording albums for Motown, releasing the Fully Exposed album that year. That same year, Hutch recorded and produced the soundtrack to the blaxploitation film, The Mack. Hutch would have several R&B hits during this period, including "Brother's Gonna Work It Out" and "Slick" and also recorded the soundtrack for Foxy Brown. Hutch would record at least six albums for Motown, peaking with 1975's "Love Power," which reached number forty-one on the Billboard Hot 100 before leaving the label in 1977 for Norman Whitfield's Whitfield Records.
Hutch returned to Motown in 1982 where he scored the disco hit, "In and Out," that same year and also recorded a song for the film The Last Dragon in 1985. Hutch left Motown again by the end of the decade and by 1994 had moved back to Dallas. Hutch continued to record and perform while living comfortably on royalties from old hits and new samples. His manager, Anthony Voyce, said of Hutch: "I've never met a more generous and caring person." He died in 2005.
He is survived by six children, and was the uncle to Cold 187um of the rap group Above the Law.

"Now slick ain't got no regrets, slick ain't got no sorrows If he don't get you today, he'll get you tomorrow".
This sound track right up there with, Shaft, Superfly and Car Wash! Willie Hutch was a BAAD Man! RIP
My childhood from Chicago's Southside brought me here.
I love me some Willie Hutch. His voice is so smooth and unmatched. There is no one comparable to him and I don't think we will ever get anyone nowhere close

I just looked up that song. I never had heard it before. I wasn't a big Beanie Siegel fan but that track is alright. They just slowed the song down
Man oh Man. This was the cut.
Always loved this song! Who the hell is the purcussionist on this track, he is Wicked! The bass and the purcussions drives the Awesome Groove

In 1970 as a people and black nation we were on the rise of being independent Hollywood came in and made us begin to worship movies like Superfly the Mack this is when we begin to lose respect for our nation our women and our brotherhood and sisterhood now everybody has everything and we have nothing come on black man and woman let's rise again and take our rightful place

Talking about Slick.
great!!!!!!!!!!!!!
.....they call him slick.....he's full of tricks.... Back in the days before credit cards and loans were extended to the blacks. Some of us had to hustle to survive. Tough life for a brother back then. But guess what , a sister would still stay with her man , even if he came home fired from his job or lost big time in a craps game. They still fussed with each other but never divorced. A lot of black families functioned like that. This was before feminism was introduced to the sistren. Owell... ...if he don't get you today he'll get you tomorrow....slick.....
