The soundtrack album which they released after" Earth,Wind & Fire ".
The movie music of the same name which Melvin Van Peebles produced.
This film made a smashing success focusing on a black layer for independence distribution those days.
Though I haven't watched this yet.
It had been criticized severely to the press when a white man wrote an article.
It would be from the color of the work. There was big movement in music. I feel strong energy.
Because most of this music were written and sung by Mel Vin Brer Soul who produced this film,
It cannot be said that this soundtrack is of the Earth,Wind & Fire's work purely.
But their power of sound surely added more power to this story, I guess.
Music had a motion. also strong energy.
This was the 139th place (19 weeks chart in) where as initial work of EWF was the 172nd place in U.S. chart.
The member of EWF was the lover of Prisia ( former secretary of Mel Vin in those days)
（was it Maurice?）.
That was because EWF had a chance to participate to this sound track having been correct him and intellect through her.
But EWF does not seem to matter about this music that the third piece "Come On Feet".
It was recorded in" Aint Supposed To Die A Natural Death" which Mel Vin produced in 69.
It sounds to be the same take.
This item was published in Japan as a set of book with CD.
The precious record which explained the story of a movie, and its background with the photograph.
The dialog of the movie was also in featured by text both in original and in Japanese translation.
