The Final Solution: Brotherman Original Soundtrack

Dead ends and missed chances
rarely sound as funky and soaring as the soundtrack to Brotherman. A movie proposed and possibly scripted but never
ultimately made, Brotherman was
the brainchild of a group of Chicago ad men turned would-be producers who never
got their project off the ground. But they did get far enough to commission a
soundtrack in 1974, tapping the talented (though unwittingly, unfortunately
named The Final Solution) for the project. The group didn't have a script but,
working with songwriter Carl Wolfolk, they were able to draw on a one-line
theme ("The pusher who became a preacher"), a city rich in the sound of Curtis
Mayfield, and a few years' worth of blaxploitation soundtracks.
