Joe Simon & J.J. Johnson • Dominic Frontiere – Cleopatra Jones (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

 


Cleopatra Jones is a 1973 American blaxploitation film directed by Jack Starrett. Tamara Dobson stars as an undercover government agent who uses the day job of supermodel as her cover and an excuse to travel to exotic places. Bernie Casey, Shelley Winters and Antonio Fargas also feature. The film has been described as being primarily an action film, but also partially a comedy with a spoof tone.

The movie 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". The soundtrack was a popular success, selling well over 500,000 copies.

This 2-disc version also includes the music from the sequel "Cleopatra Jones and The Casino of Gold" plus several bonus tracks.
