The Payback
''The Payback'' is the 37th studio album by American musician James Brown. The album was released in December 1973, by Polydor Records. It was originally scheduled to become the soundtrack for the blaxploitation film '' Hell Up in Harlem'', but was rejected by the film's producers, who dismissed it as "the same old James Brown stuff." A widely repeated story—including by Brown himself—that director Larry Cohen rejected the music as "not funky enough" is denied by Cohen. On the DVD commentary track for '' Black Caesar'' (to which ''Hell Up in Harlem'' is a sequel), Cohen states that executives at American International Pictures were already unhappy with Brown for delivering songs much longer than expected on ''Black Caesar'' and '' Slaughter's Big Rip-Off'' and opted for a deal with Motown Records instead. Cohen said the absence of Brown's music from ''Harlem'' still "breaks isheart." It went to #1 on the Soul Albums chart for two weeks and cracked the Pop Albums chart in the ...
