Carson Whitsett - Wonder Women [Featuring Charles May and Annette Thomas] (1973, Soundtrack Score)

Shirley Washington

Marilyn Joi

WONDER WOMEN is a film that has smalls roles from Shirley Washington and Marilyn Joi. These few scenes from them are noteworthy, but for the purpose of this post; the soundtrack score is a nugget! Music by Carson Whitsett with the theme song "Wonder Women" produced by Charles May and vocals by Annette Thomas, offers classic funks sounds of the seventies. If there is an official release of this soundtrack, then that would be great to know. Until then, I have extracted a few tracks from the film. There are a few more that I will share, but for now enjoy these funky tunes from the film WONDER WOMEN.

Starring:

• Billy Dee Williams 
• John Cassavetes
• Gibran Brown

Storyline
Marvin, a heavy-drinking widower who has seen better days and now ekes out a living at odd jobs, meets Tige, an 11-year-old black boy about to kill himself because his mother has just died. With nowhere else to stay, Tige moves in with Marvin and they develop a close (if sometimes stormy) relationship which is good for both of them. Marvin wants to adopt Tige but knows that he is too poor to give him a good home, as becomes painfully clear when Tige catches pneumonia. Then he discovers who Tige's father is: a rich suburbanite who doesn't even know that Tige exists. Should he, and can he, give up the boy he loves, and who loves him, in favor of a stranger with the right genes and bank balance but who doesn't care?
