This album is Mayfield's soundtrack to the 1977 Robert M.Youngflick Short Eyes, based on the award-winning play by MiguelPineiro. This project, released on Mayfield's Curtom label, againdemonstrates his commitment to delivering a strong messagefrom the African American and Latino communities. This powerfulmovie, despite its share of cliches (the inmates' code of honor,the race struggle that continues in jail, the abhorrent conditions of prisoners, especiallyBlacks) turns race relations on their head: here it is the white pedophile who is oppressedand the killers and drug dealers that surround him find their own dignity restored by theirhigher sense of morality. A must see movie and a must have soundtrack!Track listing: Side A: 1. Do Do Wap Is Strong In Here 2. Back Against The Wall 3. Need Someone To Love 4. AHeavy Dude Side B: 1. Short Eyes - Freak, Free, Free, Free, Free 2. Break It Down 3. Another Fool In Love 4.Father Confessor
