Sheba, Baby

Released

Sheba, Baby came out in 1975 from Saxophonist Monk Higgins and songwriter/producer Alex Brown with vocals from Barbara Mason. Mason features on three excellent, inexplicably unknown songs, the slinky title track, the minimal, bluesy ‘I’m In Love With You’ and the synth-soul of ‘She Dit It.’ The rest of the album is funk and soul ensemble instrumentals with big brass riffs, plenty of fuzz and wah wah guitars alongside Moog and horn solos. A superb example of a quality Blaxploitation soundtrack that outlasted its film.
