The CLAUDINE soundtrack…hands down one of the BEST soundtracks EVER!!! Gladys Knight and The Pips laid it down somethin’ wonderful with the help of Curtis Mayfield on this record. Who remembers the movie CLAUDINE??? Starring Diahann Carroll and James Earl Jones, this CLASSIC was released in 1974 (way back in my mama's day). It's about a single Black mother who is raising six kids in Harlem, NY. Diahann Carroll falls in love with James Earl Jones (a garbage man). Big ups to all the single moms AND the garbage men!

I love the ENTIRE soundtrack but “Make Yours A Happy Home” is one of my favy-favs. It makes me soooooooooooooooo, well....HAPPY :)

“…I got a happy cry. I wanna be what pleases you. So long as there is peace wit ya, that’s all I can do…”

Yeeeees Gladys!!!

Have a listen...
