It starts with Chaka Khan's powerful "My Destiny", a tough electro-funk dance song and then goes from there into the classic "For the Love of Money" by The O'Jays. You almost certainly know this song.

Herbie Hancock's "Off the Cliff" is a short, funky instrumental followed by "Mannish Boy" by Muddy Waters. You know this song too.

You also know "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" but this recording is by Gladys Knight and The Pips and it has a different feel, borrowing some energy from gospel and really swinging.

Side A ends and Side B begins with more stand-up snippets and then we get Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On", which is still as great as always.

"Michelle" is another Herbie Hancock piece, one which sways and swings at the same time and has feels like a love theme.

The Spinners take the next track, "Mighty Love", the first song on the record I wasn't familiar with. It's a really good sunshiney soul-pop number with strings.

After that it's gospel time with Mahalia Jackson and "In the Upper Room". I usually find gospel to be on the boring side but this one has a sultry swing feel to it, a relaxed tempo that seems unbearably exciting. And of course Jackson's voice has incomparable power and beauty.

Herbie Hancock brings out the synth for "Theme for Mother", a piece of dramatic underscore that suggests both menace and melancholy, followed by "Bass Behavior/Burn Ward", which mixes a funky rhythm track with dialogue from the film.

After one more stand-up clip, the record ends with the famous "Shotgun" by Jr. Walker and The All Stars. You know this song.
