Recently acquired the cult classic:
Dolemite,
to my surprise it also came with the soundtrack.
Now obviously the movie is stupendous as far as blaxploitation films are concerned,
but I was definitely expecting the music to be the typical Casio infused garbage.
How wrong I was!
The entire script of the movie could be written around the music.
The funk heralded long foot chases thru the ghettos of Harlem,
& Afro clad assassins being kicked thru window panes.
A hint of soul delivered cocoa butter soaked beds vibrating under a summers moon.
The soundtrack was awesome!
Exceptional were the songs credited to Rudy Ray,
(didn't know he was much of a musician)
& Ben Taylor.
Surprisingly the low points on the album were the songs from actual musicians.
3.5/5
Dolemite proclaims:
"I'm the one that killed Monday, whooped Tuesday, & put Wednesday in the hospital.
Called up Thursday to tell Friday not to bury Saturday on Sunday"
