About the soundtrack: 


Cleopatra Jones is accompanied by a rhythm-and-blues soundtrack featuring Joe Simon singing “Theme from Cleopatra Jones” and Millie Jackson singing “Love Doctor” and “It Hurts So Good.” Instrumentals on the soundtrack include “Goin’ to the Chase,” "Wrecking Yard" and “Go Chase Cleo.” "Oriental-style" music combined with jazz, bass and strings creates an exotic tone. At the same time, the bluesy rhythm alludes to black jazz culture, appropriate for an action-hero movie taking place in the African-American community.[4] The song “Theme from Cleopatra Jones” emphasizes the fantasy of erotic pleasure for men: “You’re so sweet and strong…/Touch me like the desert wind.” In the theme song, the lyrics depict the threat and thrill of her exotic beauty: “You take my pride and you throw it up against the wall/You take me in your arms, baby, and bounce me like a rubber ball…/ Dontcha know that it hurts so good.”

From Wikipedia:

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Blaxploitation films were originally made specifically for an urban black audience, but the genre's audience appeal soon broadened across racial and ethnic lines once Hollywood realized the potential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


Some of the more famous Blaxploitation films include: 

The Black Angels, They Call Me MISTER Tibbs!, Cotton Comesto Harlem, Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song, Shaft, Hit Man, Super Fly, TheLegend of Nigger Charley, Hammer, Across 110th Street, Black Mama, White Mama, Blacula,Slaughter, Trouble Man, Black Caesar, Blackenstein, Cleopatra Jones, CleopatraJones and the Casino of Gold, Coffy, Detroit 9000, Gordon's War, Live and LetDie, The Mack, Scream Blacula Scream, Slaughter's Big Rip-Off, The Spook WhoSat By the Door, That Man Bolt, Trick Baby, Hell Up In Harlem, Abby, Black BeltJones, Black Eye, The Black Godfather, The Black Six, Foxy Brown, Get ChristieLove!, Johnny Tough, Space Is the Place, Sugar Hill, Three the Hard Way, T.N.T.Jackson, Together Brothers, Truck Turner, Willie Dynamite, Sheba, Baby, TheBlack Gestapo, Black Shampoo, Boss Nigger, Coonskin, Darktown Strutters, Dr.Black, Mr. Hyde, Dolemite, Mandingo, The Candy Tangerine Man, Ebony, Ivory& Jade, The Muthers, Passion Plantation VelvetSmooth, The Human Tornado, J.
