Foxy Brown  by Willie Hutch

The soundtrack of the film Foxy Brown (1974) is considered one of the top examples of the blaxploitation music scene, created by the great soul artist Willie Hutch, who wrote, produced, and performed almost all the tracks on the album. Maxine Willard, Julia Tillman, and Carol Willis participated in the vocals, giving a distinct gospel-soul tone to the album.

The recording and mixing of the soundtrack took place at Motown Recording Studios in Hollywood, California. Hutch functioned as a "one-man band" in the production, orchestrating brass (trumpets, saxophones) and strings to convey the cinematic intensity of the film. The filming of the movie was mainly conducted in Los Angeles. The film was written and directed by Jack Hill, starring Pam Grier. It was initially intended as a sequel to the previous film Coffy (titled Burn, Coffy, Burn!), but the production company decided at the last minute to make it a standalone film. Pam Grier embodies Foxy Brown, a woman seeking revenge against the drug syndicate that killed her boyfriend.

Although at the time the soundtrack reached No. 36 on the R&B charts, it later gained cult status. Tracks like Hospital Prelude of Love Theme have been used as samples by top rappers such as The Notorious B.I.G. and Rick Ross.
