Across 110th Street

Across 110th Street is the 1972 soundtrack album for the film of the same name, featuring compositions and performances by Bobby Womack with arrangements by J.J. Johnson. The music mixes gritty soul and funk grooves with pop soul and R and B sensibilities, pairing Womack's rough-hewn vocals and guitar with cinematic string and horn arrangements. The title song is a dramatic, narrative piece that anchors the record, while the rest of the album shifts between mood-setting instrumental cues and more groove-driven tracks.
