1	Shaft (1971) more music like this by Isaac Hayes Of the many wonderful blaxpoitation soundtracks to emerge during the early '70s, Shaft certainly deserves mention as not only one of the most lasting but also one of the most successful. Isaac Hayes was undoubtedly one of the era's most accomplished soul artists, having helped elevate Stax to its esteemed status; therefore, his being chosen to ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $10.16!
2	Jackie Brown -- Music from the Motion Picture (1997) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Quentin Tarantino established himself as one of the few filmmakers to effectively use pop music with his first film Reservoir Dogs, a movie where the music was integral to the success of the film yet also worked well as a collection of songs. Jackie Brown, Tarantino's long-awaited third feature, finds him exploring new territory, creating an ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $11.11!
3	Trouble Man (1972) more music like this by Marvin Gaye Marvin Gaye turned to soundtracks in the early '70s, and came out with one that ranked right alongside the epic scores done by Curtis Mayfield and Isaac Hayes. The film itself was a typical '70s "blaxploitation" effort, but Gaye's vocals, seamless production, and a nice mix of up-tempo funk, light ballads, and pseudo-macho camp were brilliant. ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $8.66!
4	Dead Presidents (1995) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The soundtrack to the Hughes Brothers' tribute to early-'70s blaxploitation gets the sound of the era right, featuring hits by the O'Jays, the Spinners, Isaac Hayes, Al Green, and Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, among others. The inclusion of Danny Elfman's instrumental theme interrupts the flow of the album, but for the most part, Dead Presidents ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $10.79!
5	The Very Best of Curtis Mayfield [Rhino] (1996) more music like this by Curtis Mayfield Rhino's The Very Best of Curtis Mayfield is devoted to material the legendary soul man recorded after leaving the Impressions, focusing particularly on his classic songs from the early '70s. There are more comprehensive compilations on the market, namely the sublime double-disc Anthology and the flawed but worthwhile box set People Get Ready, but ... see all copies from $6.98! new only from $8.95!
6	Gold [Motown] (2005) more music like this by Marvin Gaye Marvin Gaye left behind one of the greatest legacies in American pop music, a fascinating and irresistible string of chart hits and stunning album-long suites that explored the sacred/secular divide in his own soul, and by extension, the philosophical divide in the American psyche, and he did it all with grace, ease, assurance, and style. This ... see all copies from $17.79! new only from $17.79!
7	The Very Best of Isaac Hayes (2007) more music like this by Isaac Hayes This is not a bad start, at least as far as single-disc representations of Isaac Hayes' Stax years are considered. The Very Best of Isaac Hayes contains many of the necessities -- his reinventions of "Walk on By," "By the Time I Get to Phoenix," and "Never Can Say Goodbye," alongside originals like "Theme from Shaft," "Do Your Thing," and "Joy, Pt ... see all copies from $10.16! new only from $10.16!
8	Pure Funk (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Since Pure Disco was a success, Mercury decided to assemble a sequel, Pure Funk. Like its predecessor, Pure Funk is a terrific 20-track collection of funk classics, from Rick James"Super Freak" to Parliament's "Flashlight." A couple of songs are marginally funk -- it's hard to call the kitsch-fest "Kung Fu Fighting" or Earth, Wind & Fire's sultry ... see all copies from $6.24! new only from $13.34!
9	The Master 1961-1984 (1995) more music like this by Marvin Gaye The average fan is better off with Anthology, which covers almost all of Marvin Gaye's true classics. But for those who want the hits and then some, and have the budget and interest to go further, this four-CD box set is an excellent retrospective of his career. The 89 tracks include all the chart hits (both on his own and with Mary Wells, Kim ... see all copies from $31.19! new only from $48.00!
10	Anthology [1995] (1995) more music like this by Marvin Gaye The 1995 version of Anthology was remastered and slightly retooled from the 1986 reissue, which was in turn updated from the original triple-LP set Motown released in 1974. That first Anthology [1974] featured nothing from Let's Get It On or afterward; the newest Anthology adds even more from that era while subtracting a bit from Gaye's earlier ... see all copies from $21.88! new only from $21.88!
11 view cover	Ultimate Isaac Hayes: Can You Dig It? (2005) more music like this by Isaac Hayes One of the better and more thoughtful Isaac Hayes compilations, Ultimate Isaac Hayes: Can You Dig It? is a three-disc (two CDs and one DVD) set that covers his years on Stax. There's a wide range of material here, from singles to deep album cuts, that provide a very representative look at these years, and Stax is even wise enough to include "I ... see all copies from $17.98! new only from $17.98!
12 view cover	Superfly (1972) more music like this by Curtis Mayfield The choice of Curtis Mayfield to score the blaxploitation film Superfly was an inspired one. No other artist in popular music knew so well, and expressed through his music so naturally, the shades of gray inherent in contemporary inner-city life. His debut solo album, 1970's Curtis, had shown in vivid colors that the '60s optimist (author of the ... see all copies from $3.98! new only from $13.34!
13 view cover	Black Caesar (1973) more music like this by James Brown After Isaac Hayes kicked his career into high gear with the popular and influential score for Shaft, and Curtis Mayfield managed the same feat with Superfly, seemingly every major soul star of the early 1970's ended up doing music for a blaxploitation film, and James Brown was certainly no exception. Brown sang the title tune for Larry Cohen's ... see all copies from $8.44! new only from $8.44!
14 view cover	Across 110th Street (1972) more music like this by Bobby Womack The soundtrack to a relatively little-known 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 ... see all copies from $7.65! new only from $7.65!
15 view cover	The Anthology 1961-1977 (1992) more music like this by Curtis Mayfield/The Impressions MCA's double-disc The Anthology 1961-1977 is the definitive overview of Curtis Mayfield's career, as the only compilation to draw from both his solo work and the best of his output with the Impressions. In fact, even discounting the four Curtom tracks that spill over onto disc two, the first disc's 26 selections constitute far and away the most ... see all copies from $18.90! new only from $28.60!
16 view cover	Curtis (1970) more music like this by Curtis Mayfield The first solo album by the former leader of the Impressions, Curtis represented a musical apotheosis for Curtis Mayfield -- indeed, it was practically the "Sgt. Pepper's" album of '70s soul, helping with its content and its success to open the whole genre to much bigger, richer musical canvases than artists had previously worked with. All of ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $10.76!
17 view cover	Pimps, Players & Private Eyes (1992) more music like this by Various Artists Pimps, Players & Private Eyes gathers ten theme songs from early-'70s blaxploitation films, including Curtis Mayfield's "Pusherman," Willie Hutch's "Theme of Foxy Brown" and "I Choose You," Isaac Hayes' "Theme From Shaft," Bobby Womack's "Across 110th Street" and Marvin Gaye's "Trouble Man." Although "Superfly" should have been on the album, these ... see all copies from $2.00! new only from $9.20!
18 view cover	Greatest Hits (1995) more music like this by Rudy Ray Moore An X-rated comedian who has used jazz and R&B accompaniment when delivering his raunchy rhymes, Rudy Ray Moore has been called the Godfather of Rap (a title that has also been used to describe sociopolitical soulster Gil Scott-Heron). Among non-Black audiences, Moore was never as well known as Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy or Redd Foxx, but he has ... see all copies from $8.74! new only from $10.79!
19 view cover	The Very Best of Willie Hutch (1998) more music like this by Willie Hutch One of the unsung heroes of 1970s soul, Willie Hutch was never the big name he deserved to be. The smooth singer/composer had a few major and moderate hits, but commercially, he didn't make it to the level of Marvin Gaye, Ronald Isley, and Curtis Mayfield (all of whom he inspires comparisons to). Released in late 1998, The Very Best of Willie ... see all copies from $4.45! new only from $8.66!
20 view cover	Let's Get It On [Deluxe Edition] (2001) more music like this by Marvin Gaye This deluxe edition is a two-disc celebration of the hedonistic R&B masterpiece Let's Get It On. The album is Marvin Gaye's follow-up to the groundbreaking social statement he made on What's Going On, which can also be thoroughly examined on the likewise expanded What's Goin' On [2001 Deluxe Edition]. The two-and-a-half-hour package is divided ... see all copies from $15.00! new only from $18.57!
21 view cover	The Mack (1973) more music like this by Willie Hutch When an act called Sisters Love were offered a cameo in the blaxploitation film The Mack, their manager suggested that Willie Hutch do the soundtrack. It becameto be one of the great '70s film scores, including a pair of classic funk tunes, "Brothers Gonna Work It Out" and the title cut. The results proved to be another soundtrack that far ... see all copies from $8.66! new only from $8.66!
22 view cover	Hell (1974) more music like this by James Brown Brown's early-'70s run of classic singles and good-to-great albums is still impressive. Hell was the double album released a year after the gold selling The Payback. To some, the title might put this effort in the realm of kitsch, but in many ways Hell was one of Brown's strongest albums. The album was the pinnacle of his work as the Minister of ... see all copies from $8.66! new only from $8.66!
23 view cover	Make It Funky - The Big Payback: 1971-1975 (1996) more music like this by James Brown While the first half of the 1970s saw James Brown's sales and art start to slowly decline, at their best he and the J.B.'s remained capable of generating a lot of heat. Record-wise it was a very erratic period, especially on his albums, which makes this two-and-a-half-hour double-disc compilation of his best material from the era especially ... see all copies from $3.81! new only from $27.26!
24 view cover	Love Songs (2001) more music like this by Curtis Mayfield Happy-in-love songs mostly from Curtis Mayfield's solo years. Only four selections are from his renown Impressions' years (two as a quintet -- "Grow Closer Together" and "I'm The One Who Loves You" -- and two as a trio -- "You Must Believe Me" and "I Love and I Lost"). The other 12 are solo deliveries including sweet nothings -- "The Makings of ... see all copies from $4.46! new only from $11.27!
25 view cover	Eat Out More Often (1970) more music like this by Rudy Ray Moore His debut album and the one that launched his career. Features "Dolemite," "Shine," and a half-dozen other titles too raunchy to mention here. Cub Koda, All Music Guide see all copies from $9.99! new only from $10.11!
