Staples, Mavis - A Piece of the Action - Amazon.com Music
Best known as the lead singer of the Staple Singers, Mavis hasn't always kept to singing about the good book: in the '70s she made several ventures into secular music including this album, produced and written by Curtis Mayfield for his Curtom label in 1977. This was also of course the soundtrack to the Poitier/Crosby film of the same name: it features some heady sexual innuendo (particularly on 'Getting Deeper' 'Koochie, Koochie, Koochie' and 'Good Lovin Daddy', that one you would not expect from such a churchgoing lady, as well as several ventures into hard funk ('Chocolate City' 'Orientation') that wouldn't have sounded out of place on a Stax record. An overlooked gem that has been unavailable for far too long. Snapper. 2006.

A Piece of the ActionI had been searching for this CD for a long time and could not find it in any of the local stores. A friend told me to try this site. I didn't know what to expect and/or what the quality of the product would be like. Got it in a timely manner as stated and was very pleased with this product. I give this two thumbs up!! GOOD WORK AMAZON!!!!!
It was awsome. I have the movie and this cd just added so much more to it and I get the chance to listen to the cd when not looking at the movie but still have the movie in my head.
The song A piece of the Action is not what you thing. It is not the same song you hear in the movie or on youtube. This was a wase of money on this Cd. This CD was purchased for this song. I would not recommend anyone by the CD
By the time this came out (1977) Mavis Staples was more deserving of that title than Aretha, whose glory days were already well behind her (Gladys Knight deserves the crown more than anyone but that's another story). Here Mavis gets down and dirty with the funky Chocolate City (NOT the Parliament classic from 1975) but she also oozes sensuality as well as grit on a soundtrack album of Curtis Mayfield songs. A hidden gem, with both artists working close to the top of their game.
