Roy Ayers - Coffy

Composed by Roy Ayers, the soundtrack to Coffy became a jazz chart hit on release. Built around a sharp, inventive mix of heavy funk and soul-jazz, the music mirrors the grit and confidence of Pam Grier’s vigilante lead, with standout vocal moments from Dee Dee Bridgewater adding extra punch. Its cool, streetwise energy has only grown in stature over time, later inspiring Quentin Tarantino — a vocal admirer of the film — to cast Grier in Jackie Brown.
