Though Rudy Ray Moore was better known as an X-rated comedian than as a crime-busting cinematic hero, the mid-1970s blaxploitation movies starring his standup character Dolemite are genre classics. The accompanying soundtrack album is packed with vintage '70s R&B instrumentals like "The Rumble" and "Ghetto Expressions" as well as SHAFT-style paeans of praise for Dolemite's physical and sexual prowess ("Power of Your Love," "When We Start Making Love"). There's also the added bonus of Moore's original radio promo spots, featuring excerpts from his vintage "Dolemite" stage toasts. "Unhindered by foggy sound quality, this first-time CD issue of the soundtrack is both predictably fun and surprisingly fine."

for those of you who may have been under a rock your whole life (or born in the 90's )
get yourself in touch with your inner Dolemite with this well rounded release, I'm sure more Rudy can be readily found on the net as well as this, however this is my offering
Rest In Peace Rudy Ray Moore

Saw Rudy here in Portland in the late nineties. It was pretty cool seeing Dolomite in the flesh. The best part of the night happened when I stepped outside the venue to puff and saw this cat getting out of a white limo and promptly taking a piss on the curb. Sure enough, it was RRM. A grand entrance, to say the least.

R.I.P........... Rudy

you will not be forgotten.

I was a kid during the blaxploitation era and was TOTALLY embarassed by the genre and how whites thought that was how all of us acted, so I know nothing about RRM & Dolemite except the names. Gonna check this out.
