Never Buy A Stripper A Drink

Today’s Black History Month Blaxploitation pick is 1973’s COFFY, starring the voluptuous Pam Grier! This is a classic Jack Hill exploit flick. Jack Hill had a successful run of films (many starring Pam Grier & Sid “Captain Spalding” Haig) throughout the 60s & 70s; such as SPIDER BABY(1968), THE BIG DOLL HOUSE(1971), THE BIG BIRD CAGE(1972), FOXY BROWN(1974), & THE SWINGING CHEERLEADERS(1974).

Pam Grier is COFFY, a common nurse who’s kid sister happens to fall victim of a heroin overdose. Coffy hits the street with a vengeance; hunting down any pushers, pimps, or gangsters that cross her path! This one’s got it all! Shoot-outs, car chases, hoe brawls, sawed-off shotguns blasting domes, hidden hair razors, & King George(tha baddest pimp this side of the Mississippi)!

KING GEORGE! HE’S A PIMP!!

BRAWLING BROADS!!!

…Like most Blaxploitations, this one also has a classic soulful soundtrack. This one’s by the legendary Roy Ayers.

Today’s selection is SUPER FLY from 1972. Follow “Priest”, a big time coke hustler, hittin’ the streets for one last big score so he can retire w/ his ladaaay! This is one of my favorite Blaxploitation films. It seems very cliched now, but it set down the foundation when it was initially released in ‘72. Check it out!

SUPER FLY contains one of my favorite movie soundtracks of all …time by the late, great Curtis Mayfield. It’s a great old skool groovin’ soul album!
