{"product_id":"james-brown-black-ceasar-black-lp","title":"James Brown - Black Ceasar (OST) (reissue black LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eJames Brown’s original soundtrack album for the 1973 blaxploitation film classic Black Caesar is being reissued on 180-gram vinyl with faithfully replicated artwork. Released in February 1973, Black Caesar is a gangster drama set in Harlem, written and directed by Larry Cohen and starring Fred Williamson, Gloria Hendry, D’Urville Martin, and Julius Harris. The film’s script was originally commissioned by Sammy Davis Jr., who was ultimately unavailable to participate in the production, and its original score was James Brown’s first foray into writing music for the screen. Pieces of Brown’s soundtrack, which also features the J.B.’s and Lyn Collins, have since been notably sampled in tracks by top rap artists, including “The Boss,” sampled by Ice-T in “You Played Yourself,” by Trick Daddy in “Take It To Da House,” and by Nas in “Get Down,” among others. Black Caesar’s soundtrack also features the Bodie Chandler and Barry De Vorzon-written single arranged by J.B.’s band director Fred Wesley, “Down And Out In New York City,” which peaked at No. 13 on Billboard’s R\u0026amp;B chart and at No. 50 on the Pop chart. For the release of this album, Brown began calling himself “The Godfather of Soul,” a moniker that’s fittingly how the world has known him since.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e01 Down And Out In New York City (From \"Black Caesar\" Soundtrack)\u003cbr\u003e02 Blind Man Can See It (From \"Black Caesar\" Soundtrack)\u003cbr\u003e03 Sportin' Life (From \"Black Caesar\" Soundtrack)\u003cbr\u003e04 Dirty Harri (From \"Black Caesar\" Soundtrack)\u003cbr\u003e05 The Boss (From \"Black Caesar\" Soundtrack)\u003cbr\u003e06 Make It Good To Yourself (From \"Black Caesar\" Soundtrack)\u003cbr\u003e07 Mama Feelgood (From \"Black Caesar\" Soundtrack)\u003cbr\u003e08 Mama's Dead (From \"Black Caesar\" Soundtrack)\u003cbr\u003e09 White Lightning (I Mean Moonshine) (From \"Black Caesar\" Soundtrack)\u003cbr\u003e10 Chase (From \"Black Caesar\" Soundtrack)\u003cbr\u003e11 Like It Is, Like It Was (From \"Black Caesar\" Soundtrack)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Polydor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56817294639435,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/6040\/3531\/files\/e64a69cd01251f2f86510d945d63ffb304675d8a9efacfbbc98f7b20602c73ca.jpg?v=1773750962","url":"https:\/\/tonetoaster.myshopify.com\/products\/james-brown-black-ceasar-black-lp","provider":"Tonetoaster Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
