The Story
Composed by vibes legend Roy Ayers for the soundtrack of the 1973 film starring Pam Grier, Coffy was a jazz chart hit. The music, an inventive mix of heavy funk and soul-jazz, with vocal highlights from Dee Dee Bridgewater, perfectly encapsulated Grier's vigilante character. Years later, director Quentin Tarantino, who lists Coffy among his favorite movies, hired Grier for his own feature, Jackie Brown.
