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!!!

One of several notable late 1960s motorsports-related soundtracks, On Any Sunday featured Steve McQueen in a documentary-style movie about motorcycling. The score reflects the subject matter - it's strong and powerful with a heavy beat. The band sports Tom Scott on great form, and the instrumentation is perfect for tight, big band funk. Check out 'Sunday Drivin' for a lesson in how to play funk that way - the bassline is superb. A great album.
