Black Caesar holds some rare funk tracks, including "The Boss" which is worth the price of the album itself. Also sports a few action-sequence tracks from the film that are a little cheesy and funny. Overall a good buy. February 28, 2008

For those of us who remember tha middle 70's, during the time of the black
exploitation film craze (Foxy Brown, Cleopatria Jones etc.), it is refreshing to hear the music of those films. And this is when James Brown became truly "The Godfather of Soul"! September 14, 2007

.........before playing Mama Feelgood, or vocalist Lyn Collins is going to leave your home in need of some repairs. From the guitar-piano-guitar introduction, Collins delivers a funk tour-de-force performance in a classic song on a great soundtrack for an underrated movie that stars Fred Williamson.

The score was composed by James Brown and Fred Wesley, which starts with a smoking R&B number - Down and Out in New York City - and ends drenched in the blues - Like It Is, Like It Was.

It is four consecutive numbers which makes Black Caesar not only a remarkable soundtrack, but one of the best albums ever issued by Brown. The mid-tempo of Boss bounces into Brown at his funky best - Make It Good to Yourself. Collins then tears it up, with the ballad - Mama's Dead - a gem of an emotional ride by Brown.

There are several instrumentals, with the jazzy Sportin' Life and the quick pace in Chase emerging as the best.

Brown wore the crown as "The Godfather of Soul" after the soundtrack was released in February 1973. And the soundtrack leaves no doubt that J.B. set the rules for admittance into the court of funky royalty. April 19, 2007
