This album was Barry Whiteâs entry into the blaxploitation soundtrack genre. The record is filled with lots of tight little instrumental grooves, produced in the hard edged Love Unlimited Orchestra way âwith tight funky drums at the bottom, snapping snare in the middle, and sharp sweeping strings over the top. Love Unlimited sing on a few tracks, but the cuts are mostly instrumentals with a very hard groove that would inspire a lot of hip-hoppers in the next years. Vocal titles as âSomebodyâs Gonna Off the Manâ, âPeople of Tomorrow Are the Children of Today,â and âCanât Seem to Find Himâ stand out over the instrumentals although tracks like âAlive and Wellâ, âTheme from Together Brothersâ, âDo Drop Inâ, and âHere Comes The Manâ give the album a consistent and superb listen.
