An great soundtrack that transcends retro nostalgia

"This disc evokes a sense of place, time, mood and drama as any good soundtrack should...but most don't. While containing only one piece scored specifically for the movie (Danny Elfman's eerie, ominous title theme), the chosen tracks perfectly serve the film by going beyond the obvious retro standards to those true timeless gems that sound great and project the perfect the atmosphere for this passionate, tragic story."
Old school... and great!

"You want great 70's music??? This is the soudntrack for you. It will take you back in time wihtout skipping a beat. One of the best soundtracks of oldies I have heard yet."
Great compilation of R & B Classics!

"Forget the [weak] Elfman theme tagged on at the end or the serviceable remake of "Where is the Love" by Jesse & Trina.The soundtrack to "Dead Presidents" makes for a wonderful time trip to the early to middle '70's, a time of political, as well as musical, transition.Curtis? Ike? James? Aretha? Barry? One can't go wrong in the company of these giants."
Its like a flashback to New York in the 70's
