About the soundtrack:
Cotton Comes to Harlem is hailed by many as the first blaxploitation film, although others felt that it was basically an action comedy film that didn’t exploit blacks.[10] The film "explores the racism and its accompanying economic and social oppression inherent in American culture."[11] Detectives Grave Digger and Coffin Ed aren't necessarily fighting to protect the law but rather to protect their people from racist attitudes. The film’s inspirational opening theme song, “Ain’t Now But It’s Gonna Be,” was written by Ossie Davis and performed by Melba Moore, who at the time was also starring in the hit Broadway musical, Purlie!

Blaxploitation or blacksploitation is an ethnic subgenre of the exploitation film, emerging in the United States during the early 1970s. The films, though receiving backlash for stereotypical characters all the while, were one of the first instances in which black actors and communities were the heroes and focuses of cinema and/or television, rather than being portrayed as sidekicks or as victims of brutality.[1] The genre allowed the rethinking of race relations in the 1970s.
Blaxploitation films were originally made specifically for an urban black audience, but the genre's audience appeal soon broadened across racial and ethnic lines once Hollywood realized the potential profit of expanding the audiences of blaxpoitation films across those racial lines.
The Los Angeles National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) head and ex-film publicist Junius Griffin coined the term from the words "black" and "exploitation." Variety credited Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song and the less radical Hollywood-financed film Shaft (both released in 1971) with the invention of the blaxploitation genre.[2]
Blaxploitation films were the first to regularly feature soundtracks of funk and soul music and primarily black casts
