FOR ME, THIS ALBUM MAKES THE MOVIE.......2006-12-29

i saw THE MACK. i just ask too many questions when it comes to blaxploitation films. i do dig the soundtrack. the only thing is though is that it is a bit too mellow for me. i like them raw and rough. however, on a boring day, i can put this on and it can be my lemonade vibe. willie hutch's music has that effect on me. sunshine in the shade..............................................................

More than your typical blaxploitation soundtrack.......2005-06-11

On THE MACK, the soundtrack to to the cult film starring Max Julien, Roger Mosley (pre- "Magnum P.I.") and Richard Pryor, 70s Motown artist Willie Hutch dazzles with his "Bobby Womack meets Bill Withers" vocals, earthy lyrics, southern soul-style guitar picking and excellent string and horn arrangements.

The two singles from this album ("Brother's Gonna Work It Out" and "Slick) became top 20 r&b hits, while the respectably sexy "I Choose You" was a popular black radio album cut. Other highlights from this set include the mournful "Mama's Song", the wistful "Now That It's All Over" and the pumpin' title track.

Like most blaxploitation soundtracks of the 70's, THE MACK features wah-wah guitars and sooperbaaad "chick" background singers. However, these cliches actually enhance these thought-provoking songs. Overall, THE MACK is like Curtis Mayfield's SUPERFLY. Both soundtracks have seven songs and two instrumentals as well as lyrics that act as a Greek chorus to warn the listeners about the dangers of street life.

Choose this cd please.......2005-06-08

If you had the opportunity to see the movie the Mack, you know
how important the soundtrack is to the movie. Brothers gonna
work it out,Mama, Vampin' the songs go on and on! Without a
doubt my favorite is Now that it's all over. I tell you what
go and rent the movie and then I bet you will want the soundtrack. The music is performed well and the songs are well
written especially the love songs. Enjoy this one on me.

Willie Hutch - The Original Mack.......2004-03-18

This is definitely an a cd to buy if you are from the old school like I am. This is a part of the "Blackploitation" films I grew up watching in the 1970's. The music is original and the movie even though outdated, fits into some of the lifestyles that people are trying to emulate today. There will never be another "GOLDIE" so get the movie as well. You'll be glad you did.
