“Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get” says the opening song. Wattstax, the dynamic film of the 1972 Los Angeles event attended by over 100 ,000 concertgoers and first billed as the “black Woodstock,” gets ya plenty. Its performances burn with vitality. Its forays into the neighborhood are a time capsule of pride and pain. And the Richard Pryor comedy riffs that provide the film’s running commentary are a treasure all by themselves. New generations can now experience the film’s infamous lost ending performances by Isaac Hayes.  Funk, R & B, Gospel, Blues, Soul – whatever your groove is, it’s here, with a sparkling, remastered soundtrack. You haven’t gotten down till you’ve flapped to “Do the Funky Chicken.” Spread your wings!

"Once In a while, a muslc-oriented film can transcend the ordinary and become a chronicle of a social mood instead of an on-film record of a concert. It was that way with Monterey Pop and Woodstock; it Is that way with WATTSTAX." - John Weisman, Detroit Free Press

"It's a rich tapestry incorporating documentary footage -- the '65 riots, interviews with Watts residents talking about being black in America -- that puts its musical performances (staged by Melvin Van Peebles) in a broad social context." - David P. Schwartz, Chicago Reader
