Herbie Hancock delivered an interpretative impromptu score. Patti Labelle and Larry Riley, who plays guitar, wrote and performed their own songs. The blues played a large role in the film's music.
Unfortunately there was no known consideration given to the production of an official soundtrack due to the aforementioned budgetary restraints -- this, despite the film's relative box office success.
