Film producer/director Melvin Van Peebles invented the blaxploitation film genre with his groundbreaking 1970 'Sweet Sweetback Bad Ass Song'. He's also known for writing several novels & screenplays throughout the 70's (including 'Greased Lightning') & acting in films such as 'Lost Action Hero', 'Terminal Velocity' & 'Boomerang.' As a major influence on Spike Lee & Quentin Tarantino, Van Peebles remains a legend of African American cinema. On this rare 1974 album for Atlantic Records Van Peebles sings passionate reflections on the state of 70's black culture over some very funky grooves with strings & orchestration (think of the soundtrack to any Pam Grier flick). Harold Wheeler arranged the music with the same touch of class he brought to his work with Nina Simone, the soundtrack to The Wiz, & Bernard 'Pretty' Purdie. Fans of underground 70's 1. A Birth Certificate Ain't Nothing But A Death Warrant Anyway 2. So Many Bars 3. Save The Watergate 500 4. Superstition 5. There 6. Come On Write Me 7. Eyes On The Rabbit 8. My Love Belongs To You
