Album:Superpeople Music Cues
My pops in an actor and a writer, so every now and again he sends me scripts or plays he thinks I might be interested in. This past week he sent me a neo-blaxploitation story treatment that made my day. It's half tongue-in-cheek and half tribute, including a love story angle that, I think, is a genre first. You see in this flick, both the private dick and his woman are working the case. Superpeople rolls hard with both female and male lead badasses. 
1. Superpeople - The Notations: A Curtis Mayfield sound alike, probably because he produced it. Opening credits music cue.
2. Mr. Cool - Rasputin's Stash: The music cue to introduce the heavy as he steps out of his ride.
3. Coffy Is The Color- Roy Ayers: The music cue for the heroine..a tribute to Pam Grier
4. Slick City - James Mason: The music cue for a daytime Manhattan scene
5. Easin' In - Edwin Starr: The hero's theme music..Originally from Hell Up In Harlem
6. Inside You - Eddie Henderson: Night shoot skyline drive music cue.
7. Party Down - Little Beaver: Small Club in Brooklyn music cue
8. Slick - Willie Hutch: The snitches music cue..originally from The Mack
9. Give Me Your Love - Young Holt Unlimited..seduction sequence in the car..cover of Mayfield tune from Superfly
10. Superman Lover - Johnny "Guitar" Watson- Music cue for the players ball sequence
11. Finger In It-Harlem Underground Band-Music cue for the VIP Lounge scene
12. Mr. Magic - Kellee Patterson-Kellee actually signed to perform the tune.."live" performance at the Players Ball, serenading the Pimp Of The Year.
13. Come On Down - Greg Perry: Soft lit post-love scene music cue
14. It's Only Love Doing It's Thing - Barry White: Music cue during a slo mo gun battle sequence
15. Give Me The Sunshine- Leo's Sunshipp: Out credit music cue as the sun rises after a night of love and war on the streets.
This thing looks and sounds like a stone gas..I can't wait. I'm thinking Halle and Denzel. Keep scrolling down if you wanna hear any of the tunes..it's about an hours worth.

I'd buy the OST in a heartbeat! :D
All I need to do now is write the script, win the lottery, and make the movie. Any Rich and talented people, feel free to use my idea.
I guess blaxploitation is back with Black Dynamite doing well at last year's (I think it was last year) Sundance.

Slammin' addition..now there's an hour and 4 minutes of music within these html walls at Funk Club USA.
Senor Cody B, i am often on the lookout for good soundtracks and this playlist looks yummy, if only i could listen...
