Wondering if someone could help me out who knows their blacksplotation
flicks inside out. I picked up this compolation called:
Players and Hustlers of the 70's: Can You Dig it? V.1

A couple of the tracks I reckognized right of the bat as theme songs
from
classic blacksplotation flics. I was hoping that someone could identify
any of the other songs as themes from other blacksplotation flics.
Here's
a listing of the songs:
Song: Artist: Movie:
Superfly Curtis Mayfield Superfly
Sweetback's Theme Earth, WInd and Fire Sweet Sweetbacks Bad Ass
Song
Down & Out in N.Y. City James Brown ?
It Hurts So Good Millie Jackson ?
Slick Willie Hutch ?
Be Thankful For What
You've Got William DeVaughn ?
Are You Man Enough Four Tops ?
Across 110th Street Bobby Womack Across 110th Street(I
think)
Make A Resolution The Impressions ?
Birth of Shaft Isaac Hayes (this one I know isn't
from any Shaft flic)

Thanks!

Catch you on the flip side.
