Review
An amazing blaxploitation soundtrack, that not many people are aware of. I think viewing the movie will definitely help identify with the music. The Education of Sonny Carson is a classic, I’m not going to give away the story, but it’s about Brooklyn NYC gangs in the 70′s, amongst other things. BUY IT!

Leon Ware lends his talents for lead vocals here, delivering a very strong performance. The sound is very gritty overall, very heartfelt in a sense (at times), but it gets across the feeling of storytelling, through sound. Simply by listening one can imagine what would be going on in the film at that point.

A rare piece of material, and a special one! Enjoy…

Check out the sound!

As much as I love the record, this cover is HIDEOUS! LOL! They spent ZERO money on creating it, obvious, right?…
