Blaxploitation films from the early '70s had a funk soundtrack, appropriate, since funk was the cutting-edge music of the time. Much of this music held up better than the films themselves, even in the case of Superfly, one of the better blaxploitation films of the time, where Curtis Mayfield's music was better than the film. As the movie genre died out in the late '70s, so did the music, but both the films and the soundtracks remained cult favorites well into the next century.
