The wildly eclectic, hard-grooving, soulful soundtrack to the genre-defining film by the same name: Melvin Van Peebles’ Sweet Sweetback’s Badassssss Song (1971). Featuring a then virtually unknown, but already hot Earth Wind & Fire, Sweetback’s is a landmark record in what would become the Blaxploitation genre. An absolute must
have for connoisseurs of funk, soul, soul-jazz, hip-hop and beyond. Fans of Isaac Hayes’ iconic Shaft album will not want to pass this by.
