Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song is the soundtrack to Melvin Van Peebles' 1971 feature film of the same name.

The soundtrack was performed by then-unknown Earth, Wind & Fire and released in 1971 on Stax Records.

To attract publicity for the film without spending significant money, the soundtrack was released before the movie; it performed well, reaching No.

[7] Ian McCann of udiscovermusic.com found "Today, though, you couldn’t find a record, soundtrack, or otherwise, as freewheelin’ and funky as this."

With a 3.5 out of 5 stars review, Richie Unterberger of AllMusic wrote "Heard on its own, the soundtrack, unlike Super Fly or Shaft, is not a significant musical achievement.
