An era of its own. A time when American was in a transition from separatism to civil rights. The 70's was a Golden Age on so many levels and the influence echoes around the world in present day. Blaxploitation is considered in my opinion to be the coolest of cool. Touching on the most sensitive material in America at its time and exploiting them on the big screen or the vinyls in your record player produced for a glorified genre that nobody will ever be able to duplicate. Our mission at Blax-Pride is to educate those who are unfamiliar with this era and combine knowledge with those who are familiar.
Also you will notice Kung Fu movies on this site as well. What does this have to do with Blaxploitation? Well, the more action packed Blaxploitation films did not just street fight. Oh no.....they thought they were Kung Fu Masters. Chinese martial art movies gave a sense of invincibility to these actors. Seeing how cool it was to be a masterful fighter, why not just integrate this with Pimpin', Hustlin', Jive Talkin' and Pam Grier? Blax-Pride!!!
Well after suggestions and several ideas from you fans. I decided to start a small forum for us to discuss, educate, and even trade blaxploitation soundtracks. I do not have everything and some of the artist a few of yall have mentioned I have never heard of. So here is a way that you all can participate in the blog as a community. Comments will be moderated, so lets keep it clean from any negativity.
REMEMBER!!!!

Thanks!! I will link this to you blog.
And as I noticed It's now up here I decided to celebrate the new contributional spirit by posting a rapidshare link to the "missing" track by Isaac Hayes, the instrumental Type Thang. It's featured in the movie but not on the album for contractual reasons. Maybe someone's got the actual single? The A side is Theme from the Men, the Blaxploitation action TV series that Isaac scored.
Also, though I have no album cover picture. I'd Like to post requests for:
The Baron 1977 Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson (Arista)

The Black Connection aka Run!, Nigger Run! 1974 + The Checkmates Ltd. Single
Smoke - The Candy Tangerine Man 1975 (Self titled LP features several cuts from the movie)
Johnny Taylor - Disco 9000 1976
Infernal Blues Machine - Adiós Amigo 1976
The Legend of Nigger Charley 1972 + Lloyd Price Theme song single
Gordon Staples - Mean Johnny Barrows 1976 + Single Strung Out (From the LP of the same name by The
Motown Strings)

Just commenting that the Smokey Robinson uploader himself should be credited, it's a lot of work actually putting these things up, as some of you know :
http://fullundie.blogspot.com/2008/05/smokey-robinsons-big-time-ost.html
Hi Funkback -
Thanks for that, but I don't think it's actually from "Shaft's Big Score". Isaac Hayes himself was not involved with this production - movie or soundtrack - and all reports and discographies say that this is the B-side of Isaac Hayes' theme from "The Men". But anyway if I'm wrong, could you give me a reference for that info ?
Thanks,
Simon
I will try to look for those ost request. Definitely not going to be easy finding them. I will put some of the album request on the main page to people can see what we are searching. Thanks everybody. I like the way this forum has started and if we all work together, then I think we all will have a one of a kind music collection. People will be jealous of our treasures, lol.
I'm enjoying your Blog. The selections are great. Lot's of classics & obscure stuff worth resurrecting. Your comments and insight are equally as good. Thanks for hanging in there and thanks for brightening my day. Much Respect! John - Atlanta,Georgia, USA
Hey Funkback -
Sorry to doubt you! Carrasco gave the story re the "Shaft's Big Score" missing track over at :
http://neverenoughrhodes.blogspot.com/search/label/Gordon%20Parks
... so thanks for that addition, I've added a note at the base of the post to point people into the comments for the download.
Also, Carrasco wanted a better back cover scan, so I've uploaded a 200dpi version here :

Now you can all make wall posters lol :)
Thanks for running an awesome blog!
I would like to thank you for searching for "Disco Godfather" (there is actually some awesome funky tunes on it) and would like to 2nd funkback's request for "Black Shampoo." Your blogs is always one of the 1st ones I check because I love those funky, funky soundtracks and you always deliver!
I'm searching for some of these request. These albums are definitely hard to find. I have went to blaxploitation.com and searched for some of their albums they have reviewed. I have found a couple by Francis Lai I will post. Other than that still diggin.
It's a good thing to see people becoming more involved with the blog. Everyone has things they're looking for, but the resources and information that the group has collectively will be beneficial to all.
What would be really cool is if we could ever attract the attention of musicians/producers/actors who were involved in the scene and perhaps get a testimonial or some other kind of imput or participation. I'll bet they'd have some really great recollections, insight and even memorabilia to decorate the place up with.
'On Friday, exclusively at Blaxploitation Pride...A Moment With Max Julien'
Or Pam Grier? Haha
Peace Everyone,
I just found Johnny Taylor - Disco 9000 (1976). I will try to post it asap. Still searching for others.
Hello all
I would like to commend the blog administrators here for all of the hard work, dedication and knowledge which is essential to conducting this type of blog.
I have been looking everywhere for an old Blaxploitation soundtrack. It seems as if maybe, The movie score was never pressed for vinyl release because all info is very breif and I haven't seen any used vinyls anywhere (during my years of collecting in the local areas, abroad or on the internet.
The name of the movie is "The Black Godfather" released in 1974 and the score is credited to "Martin Yarbrough". Any help would be appreciated.
Well I guess we can add The Black Godfather to the list. I sure do hope we get lucky on some of these. I would take that Sanford & Son Theme is somebody has it. Also, I need some more Quincy Jones to post.
Selfscience:
Thanks for the quick reply. I have a couple version's of the Sanford & Son Theme. I have the Quincy Jones version which is called "The Streetbeater". This particular version is exactly the same that is used on the sitcom.
I also have another version that was reworked by the Jazz great Lou Donaldson for his 1973 Blue Note album "Sassy Soul Strut". I searched for it for years and finally found it a while back. The version here is an uptempo jazzy sax number that can be quite funky in it's own right and the Sanford theme was my sole reason for tracking the whole album down.
As for other Quincy Jones albums, I have two more...Quincy Jones & Bill Cosby:The Original Jam Sessions - 1969. This album explored Q's funk/jazz sides and includes 3 versions of "Hikky-Burr"...The track that was used as the theme for the (original) "Bill Cosby Show" sitcom back in 1969/70' when Bill starred as Chet Kincaid the basketball coach.
I also have "Quincy Jones - I Heard That"...A soul/funk offering that was released in 76' on A&M Records.
I haven't heard the Lou Donaldson version. I know there is an abbreviated version used for the actual show, plus a longer, full-length version that Quincy did. I'm not sure if this was available on an album or as a single, though.
visuals:
I haven't heard the Lou Donaldson version either. I would like to have that and quincy jones if possible.
Ripping LTG Exchange - Susie Heartbreaker. Sending a link ASAP. Always happy to be able to contribute in any way I can. If You're not allready aware of it. Cinemageddon is a great place to go for some of the more obscure B-line cinema like Blaxploitation. There's even a Blaxploitation project there where I try to put every accompaning soundtrack I can get my hands on.
As for Disco 9000. Yay!! Lookin forward to it!
Hey Shaft!...I mean SelfScience
You are filling a much needed gap in blogland here man! I'm looking forward to your future presentations.
I hope "The Man" don't stop your regular shipments from hitting the streets...er blogs. Shit! Must be "Hell Up In Harlem Brother" ;)

SelfScience:
Hopefully, I'll be uploading the files & posting the links to the selections tonight once I get them zipped. If you have a chance, Drop by our blog @ http://sanpasquale.blogspot.com/.

hey funkback - thanks so much for the 'Susie Heartbreaker' album, sounds great - a little like Brass Consruction at times, anyway enjoying it a lot :)
simon
Hey selfscience, I guess the links provided by anonymous was to CG right? As that's where the albums in question were upped first. I believe if it's my own rip I don't have to provide any link, byt if I snatch it from somewhere it's only fair to let people know where I got it and give the original ripper/uploader some props.
To funkback:
the links anonymous provided had no source of where they got them from.
Word people! Just wanna say a BIG up from GREECE. You people have really given us down here the chance to listen to some sick music. I also have a couple of gems in my collection of European OST's from the '60's. These collections were never made available outside Europe so I believe you will be interrested in getting your hands dirty!
Hit me back on masterb7@hotmail.com to arrange for an exchange.

so come on everybody, you`re invited and feel free to leave some comments!
cheerz, Soulfinga
thanks Soulfinga, that is very generous of you. I can't wait to here that Black Shampoo.
Now that Soulfinga is about to give us all some Black Shampoo (as soon as his uploading siervices are providing again). I would like to take the opportunity to push for a request of mine Blackjack 1978 Soundtrack by Motown session ace Jack Ashford on Ruff Stuff Records.
http://www.moviegrooves.com/images/covers_main/blackjack_main.jpg
Notes
Solid disco-funk and soul soundtrack from Jack Ashford for the obscure blaxploitation movie from 1978 directed by John Evans and starring William Smith, Tony Burton and Frank Christi.
Jack Ashford was part of a group of musicians known as the Funk Brothers whose sound defined Motown in the 60's and 70's. They worked with such legendary performers as Diana Ross and the Supremes, the Temptations, Marvin Gaye, The Four Tops, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, The Miracles and many more.

Now here comes an unusual request:
The '80s re-release soundtrack by Alan Silvestri and Gene McDaniels For The Mack aka The Mack and His Pack.
http://www.moviegrooves.com/images/covers_main/mackandpacklp_main.gif
Label: PDC
Date Recorded: 1983
Cat no. ALA1995
Notes
This is the alternative soundtrack to the classic 70s blaxploitation movie The Mack starring Max Julien, Don Gordon and Richard Pryor.
The movie was originally released in 1973 with a great soundtrack by Willie Hutch. In 1983 and 1985 it was rereleased in cinemas to capitalize on the popularity of Richard Pryor and Roger E. Mosely, who were by now household names.
This LP contains the soundtrack for the reissued movie.
It's a great soundtrack with a top-notch, quality 80s soul and funk vibe - whilst also giving a nod to the classic 70s blaxploitation sound.
Composed by Alan Silvestri, The Mack features vocal performances from the great Gene McDaniels (of funk LP classic 'Headless Heroes Of The Apocalypse' fame).
"The whole album is tight, funky and sparse in sound; slap bass, soprano sax and toppy guitar predominate. Recommended."

This blog is starting to become a success on so many levels. With people helping out everything is much easier on me in maintaining the blog.
Agreed! This is a very "happening" place right now. I'm almost afraid of what's going to be here when I'm back from vacation. Great work all of You!
Hey Anonymous! What do You mean found? Did You happen to spot it on another blog? In that case please give the original uploader some props! If it's Your own rip, by all means claim some credit. It must have cost You some to come by such a great slab of vinyl.
@ funkback - Yes indeed, anonymous found Blackjack on another blog. It's not my rip either, but it is my upload. And that request list looks very familiar, so anonymous is not so anonymous, at least to me.

I put this in the comments for "Blackjack" , but in case you missed it :

here
Some of the info there is :
Some of the players on this album :

Arrangements :
Robert White
Recorded at :
Norman's FortKnox Studio, One Step Up Studio
* Forgot to put in the comment version that vocalist on the album is Loretta Holloway

Blog tip :
"Every Nigger is a Star" (soundtrack, 1973) - Boris Gardiner
http://jazzheadz2.blogspot.com/2008/06/check-that-fro.html
Features killer track "Ghetto Funk"
"The Boris Gardiner Happening, or rather Boris and old friend keyboard player Leslie Butler, were commissioned to score a Blaxploitation movie, 'Every Nigger Is A Star', with the main character role going to Calvin Lockheart. It was to be a US production in the style of 'Shaft', 'Super Fly' and 'Trouble Man' and the soundtrack was to reflect the fast paced ghetto storyboard. The highly prized soundtrack album featured one cut of rock solid funk like no one but James Brown's JBs had been able to create. 'Ghetto Funk' was a slice of chattering, slippery Hammond B-3 lead groove from Leslie Butler and was powered along by Boris Gardiner's ferocious bass line. Not only was it a stand out track paying homage to soul-jazz geniuses like Jimmy Smith, but it confirmed that Boris Gardiner was an extraordinary talent, as not only did he pound out a bass line that would make Robert 'Kool & The Gang' Bell sick with envy, but he actually wrote the piece. "

Sorry, may sound dumb, but i just couldn`t find the links.

Links are located in the first word in each review.
MAN, i'm digging this blog! Old school Pai Mei movies and even the Black Shampoo soundtrack!!! One request, if anyone knows it'll be somebody here.
Has the 'Boss Nigger' soundtrack ever popped up anywhere? The title track AND the instrumentals in the movie are all top notch funky soul numbers. The movie poster even says "Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Available On WE PRODUCE Records And Tapes"
It's gotta be out there somewhere right?
Back in 1974 I remember seeing a movie starring JIM KELLY titled ''GOLDEN NEEDLES'', anybody aware if this movie ever had a soundtrack release? Love this blog site by the way ..its very cool, hip and groovy!!
Very ill blog, happy to have stumbled upon it.. mad props on the kung fu releases aswell!
to Simon666: It doesnt seem like jazzheads2 features more thand one mp3 track. It's good tho'. Makes me wish for more. What comp did you get Ghetto Funk from??
to filmpac: The Honey Baby OST is already up here on the site in better bitrate however if You want a 320 rip from my personal collection here You go:

Looking for Quincy Jones 'In The Heat Of The Night' Soundtrack :)
check the May post......
Funkback -
Hey yeah sorry, I discovered that myself (just one track) and had meant to post back here ... that'll teach me to pimp something before downloading :)
You asked about 'Ghetto Funk" - I got it from a great soulful reggae comp called "Darker Than Blue : Soul from Jamdown 1973-1980", you can get it here.
Selfscience, this blog is going OFF ;)
Thanx Simon I'm off to What.CD for Darker Than Blue it sounds like it's worth a Flac download. You reckon we could petition for more tracks from the blogger or would that be rude? It's quite a rare soundtrack.
re: Quincy Jones 'In The Heat Of The Night' Soundtrack
I found the May post but don't see a DL link anywhere. Am I missing it?
Disregard, I figured it out... thank you :)
Man, this blog is hot!
I have been on a quest literally for years in a fruitless attempt to track down the 'Disco Godfather' O.S.T.
I would do just about anything for this elusive gem. Stay Elevated
hey man - wonderful blog, here's a small contribution for the james brown collection. it's a bootleg (at least, I think it’s a boot – didn’t see an official release of this anywhere, some of your readers might know more) of JB’s show in Zaire as a lead-up to the famous ‘rumble in the jungle’ fight by Muhammad Ali vs. George Foreman.
http://rapidshare.com/files/103855559/jbz.rar
cheers and thx from NYC,
ksn
I haven't downloaded your file, but i sounds like the soundtrack to "Rumble in the Jungle", the 1996-released documentary ilm about the Ali-Foreman fight, which has a lot of footage from a show there by Brown etc Great movie by the way ...
Soundtrack info here , seems to be out of print :

Does that tracklist match up ?
nope, mine's a straight soundboard boot, almost 100% sure never released, the when we were kings OST has a bunch of different guys on it (bb king et al)
tracklist...
1. Intro - The Payback 2. Soul Power 3. The Boss 4. Make It Funky 5. Doing It To Death 6. Bewildered 7. Get Up (I Feel Like Being a Sex Machine) 8. Cold Sweat/I Can't Stand It 9.

Loving the Kung Fu classics you have been uploading! Thanks a lot.
Just wondering, do you have a decent copy of Shaolin VS Ninja (Gordon Liu)?
Would love to see that again!
Peace and keep up the good work, much respect.
@ Jeremy
I think that movies is also called Heroes From The East, Shaolin Challenges Ninja. I posted the movie I think you are looking for.
I'm sorry Brothers! But Musicdawn alerted me to the fact that The Disco 9000 on here ain't the one we're looking for so I'm re-posting my reqest as of now:
Review by Andrew Hamilton AMG
The soundtrack of the movie Disco 9000 (later retitled Fass Black after the blaxploitation flick's main character). Johnnie Taylor had a small part --performing "Disco Lady" -- in the less-than-thrilling box-office flop. Incidentally, "Disco Lady" is not part of the soundtrack. Sony records issued an album with this title in 1998 that is essentially a "best of Johnnie Taylor at CBS" CD and not the original soundtrack. This seven-track album contains two prototype soundtrack instrumentals; the other material, especially the formulaic "Disco 9000," is not Taylor's best. However, "I Love You Woman," "Right Now," and "I Don't Know What I'd Do Without You," are OK bluesers with contemporary productions.
Tracks
1 I Just Don't Know What I'd Do Without You
2 Toot Your Flute
3 Just a Happy Song
4 God Is Standing By
5 Disco 9000
6 I Love You Woman
7 Right Now
Releases
Year Type Label Catalog #
1977 LP Columbia 35004
I've realized that even if Blaxploitation.com seems to be a thoroughly researched place, they've prooved wrong regarding at least Five on the Black hand side. Maybe it's due to some of the stuff on that page's a bit out of date.
That means that there may be entire scores available where they claim only singles issued for example. All I'm saying is do like me and most folks and keep on digging. SelfSience got a full time job being a daddy right now. Let's give him something really funky to come back to huh!?!
Thought a few people might be interested in seeing this one again . Hwang Jang kicks some ass in this one :)

Fraykerbreaks
As I've had reason to say in the past: Yay 4 Frayker!!!
My scheme works! Almost exactly one week after I upped the Superfly 1990 over at Cinemageddon someone came through with a VHS rip of the actual movie. Here: http://cinemageddon.org/details.php?id=22095
The scheme keeps on working! The most recent ups of blaxploitation classics on Cinemageddon are Black Girl & Honey Baby, Honey Baby. Both of them super rare!!
VHS rips here:
http://cinemageddon.org/details.php?id=23425
http://cinemageddon.org/details.php?id=22730
HWBC & Dragonetta are two very generous contributors to the Blaxploitation Project over at Cinemageddon. The two most recent additions are the super rare Up Tight! and the exquisite A hero ain't nothin' but a sandwhich, that sports a soundtrack by Hubert Laws that is missing here on Blaxploitation Pride.
Get the movies here:

Anyone care to unravel the mystery of the missing link to the long awaited Disco Godfather album?
We are waiting on the proper permission from the original ripper before Frayker post the link.
Hi, Funkback. How's it goin?
I am worried that Frayker's decision to turn to Jesus is going to hamper our abilities to finally hear Disco Godfather! Everyone knows that Jesus hates disco!
Be patient my friends. Ya'll will get to hear the Disco Godfather LP in due time. Frayker hasn't emailed me back yet on the status of the uploaders permission. here is what Frayker sent me in the email.
"hi there,
sorry for the delay, i still havent heard from my friend regarding the disco godfather ost, once i do i will let you know asap, best keeping on his side as he has alot of stuff that would interest us for the future....i guess beacuse it is such a rarity , personaly if it was my own rip, it is also everyones lol, thanks for understanding the situation...
F.Breaks"
Hi there Dragonetta! How nice of You to drop by. As Y'all can see the A Hero Ain't Nothin But A Sandwich OST is no longer missing thanx to a collective effort between Mr. Wone, Isbumsplace & Me. This place is happening again & again. Nice to hear from bro Frayker too.
It sure is happening, and it's going to be even more happening when you hear what I have sitting in front of me right now:
Black Starlet
Change of Mind
Foxy Style
Golden Needles
The Greatest (the Ali flick)
The Split
Right On!
The Lost Man
The Real Eve
The Underground Railroad
Color of Love (Lord Shango)
If He Hollers, Let Him Go
Classified X
The Baron
The N Word
Sister Sister
The Great White Hope
Sophisticated Gents
The Players Club
A Rage in Harlem
I couldn't carry any more back from my storage.
Sophisticated Gents is already ripped. I have to rip and convert the others.
Also, do you guys want a REAL forum, 'cause I can setup one for you on my domain. Let me know. ;)
Hey Dragonetta,
you were reading my mind. I have been researching on how to start a forum. I think a REAL forum would be more professional compared to what I have set up now. plus I would like a place to post some more links that i have already uploaded to other forums. please contact funk, wone, and me so we can discuss this possibility (selfscience06@gmail.com). Thanks
Lost for words again. My fine woman D!
And I'm a writer equally lost for words, Funkback!!!
Where have you been all our lives? What a powerful resource you are, D.
Golden Needles and Right On?
They have been missing ever since forever and we won't even begin to talk about The Baron.
Hi, fellas.
Self-Science has joined the forum. Just waiting for the rest of you guys (Mr. Wone + Funkback) to join so I can make you mods, and you can do your thing.
I'm a mover and a shaker, people, so catch me when you can. I'm here today. ;)
D.
O.K. Dragonetta, I Can see You're as busy as ever over at CG, blessing us all w. rare nuggets. Soon to be seen over here too I guess? I'm breathlessly awaiting Your divine decision.
I'm about to bless this blog with something dy-no-mite in a little bit.
Let me holla at ya in about fifteen.
Later,
D.
She wasn't kidding if this is anything to go by:

All I can say is: Go sistah' girl!!
Hey guys,
I've done a fresh vinyl rip of "Willie Dynamite" in WAV and 320 MP3, also done a bit of a survey of J.J. Johnson's soundtrack work with lots of links back to Blax Pride and other places, check it out!
simon
I have waited ages to hear it, and
Disco Godfather soundtrack is pure gold - from the disco breakouts in the title track to the awesome "Shermanizing/One Way Ticket to hell," which is my favorite
to the fairly straightforward funk jam "Spaced Out." Even the ballad is pretty damned good. Can't thank you enough for getting that rip!
Hey man! Congratulation for you blog! Will be famous in Italy.
Greetings!
Hi guys,
I just posted Roy Ayers' "Coffy" (1973) at my blog with both WAV and MP3 versions available.
Pretty excited cos I'm seeing him live tomorrow night :)
simon
hi, i love your blog. i was wondering can you download these movies and if so how? thanks keep up the good work...
first word in each review
Great site. If someone has some software or knows how to the obtain the software to decode or decompress .bad files, I would appreciate it. I want to share in the musical experience, too!!! Thanks, Chris
Hi Chris,
read the FAQ on the blog page
Hello
Just discovered this site mere minutes ago and don't know where to begin! Great stuff.
One query: does anybody have a copy of the 1973 film 'HIT!' starring Billy Dee Williams and Richard Pryor, and directed by Sidny J Furie? I'm in the UK and can't find a copy anywhere.
Thanks again for posting some great films and music!
HP
Try Amazon.com
...Or just be patient. It just might find it's way here by way of Cinemageddons Blaxploitation Project were it's currently available:
http://www.cinemageddon.org/details.php?id=25492
We've got so much stuff to post here so it might be awhile but rest assured that a Blaxmovie Starring Billy Dee Williams AND Richard Pryor belongs here too.
Heh) I've been on blaxpride a lot of times) But first found out this forum) Maybe i'm blind))
My top #1 request is complete soundtrack blaxploitation porn flick Tongue by Roger Hamilton Sotts band (1975) Everybody have 5 killer tracks from it. But what about b-side - maybe someone could help and post whole album.
Thanks for the cinemageddon tip regarding 'HIT!'.
HP
Funk,
I've made the necessary changes on my end to facilitate the transfer of blaxploitationpride.com to your blog.
You need to make some changes in your Blogger settings in order to activate the transfer. Follow the instructions on this page where it says UPDATE YOUR BLOGGER SETTINGS:
http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=55373&ctx=sibling
Only do that part. The rest is done. Then, you'll just need to wait until the domain name change is fully propagated. That should happen within the next day or two. Just keep checking to see if it's working yet. It should bring up your blog when you punch in that domain name. If it doesn't, let me know. Enjoy!
Hello People,
I'm looking for Sophisticated Gents Movie can anyone help me locate it?
Hey! There's been awhile since anyone posted anything in here. There's a Cool torrent site called Cinnemageddon that's running a Blaxploitation Project. Miss Dragonetta graciously shared her rip of Sophisticated Gents over there:
http://cinemageddon.org/details.php?id=24642
There's so much good stuff to be posted here and so little time to do it!! Eventually we'll get 'round to it.

Looking for the Liberation of LB Jones do any know where to find?
