Notes
Written and produced by Curtis Mayfield, it's Mavis Staples' funky and soulful soundtrack to Sidney Poitier's 1976 movie A Piece of the Action - the crime/comedy starring Bill Cosby, James Earl Jones and Poitier himself.
Mavis Staples is best known as the exceptional lead singer of The Staples Singers, one of the world's foremost gospel groups.
A Piece of the Action proved to be one of Mavis' most successful ventures into secular music. A heady mix of funk (Chocolate City', Orientation') and sexual innuendo (Getting Deeper', Koochie, Koochie, Koochie'), it is a criminally-overlooked soul/funk gem from the Seventies.
