Personnel includes: Marvin Gaye (vocals, piano, Moog); Trevor Lawrence (alto, tenor & baritone saxophones).

Originally released on Tamla (322) in December, 1972.

All tracks have been digitally remastered using 20-bit technology by Gavin Lurssen at The Mastering Lab, Los Angeles, California.

Tenuous though it is, history books list it as a Marvin Gaye album. Those who did not see the film (from which this is a soundtrack) might unsuspectingly think Marvin might sing on it. In fact he does on one track, the title song. The film was another low-budget blaxploitation detective movie that fell short of both Superfly (Curtis Mayfield) and Shaft (Isaac Hayes). Musically, however, the remaining instrumental music is hard to fault, even though it sounds very much of its era. Approach with some degree of caution, but expect to be pleasantly surprised.

Mojo (Publisher) (6/02, p.66) - Included in Mojo's "100 Coolest Movie Soundtracks" - "...A work of infintie beauty incorporating intricate jazz, delicious funk and Trevor Lawrence's wailing sax."
