For some reason, this Bobby Womack classic, "Across 110th Street" just feels appropriate for summertime. It is the title track from the 1972 crime-drama blaxploitation film of the same name that starred Anthony Quinn and Yaphet Kotto. 110th Street refers to the commonly accepted boundary of where Harlem began.
While times have obviously changed and the mean streets that Womack sings about are located much further north due to gentrification, this song remains a great example of 1970s cool in an R&B/Soul context.
Enjoy.
