Blaxploitation

James Brown "Down and out in New York City"


Bobby Womack "Across 110th street"


Car Wash "Rose Royce"


Curtis Mayfield "Sparkle"

I actually like the versions in the movie more than on the Aretha Franklin Soundtrack.

Isaac Hayes "Shaft"

Everyone has seen this a dozen times but it's just so great how it's shot from above with the music slowly building up so perfect for the start of a movie. A classic for a reason. Should be shown is school as a jaywalking instruction video. Kids are going to do it anyway, better do it like a bad cat.
