16. Trouble Man – What do you get when you draft in soul legend Marvin Gaye to do a soundtrack for your movie? The answer is simple; a gem of a record. Unlike the blaxploitation movie itself - about a tough detective who takes the law into his own hands - which was a commercial failure, Gaye’s soundtrack positively excelled and overshadowed the film it soundtracks. The title track ‘Trouble Man’, the film’s only song with lyrics on, was a top ten hit for Gaye.

I don't understand why there can't be a good soundtrack without singing
