Across 110th Street - 40th Anniversary Edition Includes Two Additional Hit Albums (1972)

"The soundtrack to a 1972 blaxploitation film featured songs written and performed by Bobby Womack, as well as a musical score by J.J. Johnson. Although the inconsistency of the approach precluded a musical statement along the lines of Superfly, it's an interesting find for those looking for little-heeded early-'70s soul with funk and rock influences. Womack's cuts count among his better material, and even if the title track cops much of its attitude from Superfly, it has a tough soul-rock groove of its own. "If You Want My Love" is a good grainy ballad, "Quicksand" a propulsive number well-suited for action scenes, and "Do It Right" is in the mold of James Brown, but more rock-oriented. Johnson's instrumental contributions set a nice period soul-jazz mood, and there are nifty periodic washes of electronic effects in both composers' contributions." (Richie Unterberger, Allmusic) De tweede disc bevat de albums "Facts Of Life" (1973, met veel covers, van Cooke tot Dylan) en "Lookin' For A Love Again" (1974)
