Roy Ayers – Coffy (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Iconic 1973 Blaxploitation soundtrack blending heavy funk, jazz and soul
A cult classic featuring standout vocal performances by Dee Dee Bridgewater
Composed by vibraphonist Roy Ayers for the 1973 Pam Grier film, Coffy stands as one of the defining soundtracks of the Blaxploitation era. Anchored by thick basslines, gritty grooves and Ayers’ unmistakable vibraphone touch, the music perfectly mirrors the film’s raw intensity and streetwise attitude.
Beyond its cinematic impact, Coffy took on a life of its own as a standalone album, finding success on the jazz charts before being rediscovered by DJs, producers and collectors worldwide. From tense themes to seductive funk workouts, the soundtrack remains a bold, rhythm-driven masterwork that continues to influence generations of soul, jazz and hip-hop artists.
