A great little album, put together to accompany one of Muhammad Ali's finest moments on the big screen – in a blend of music that's way deeper than the usual sounds you'd hear ringside!
Michael Masser helmed the set – produced and wrote most of the material – but also with key contributions from
George Benson, whose vocals grace some of the sweeter songs on the album – plus
Mandrill, who help with some of the more hard-driving funky cuts! The set features the extended clubby groover "Ali Bombaye" – an almost Afro Funk-ish tune, performed by
Mandrill – and other cuts include the mellower "I Always Knew I Had It In Me" and "The Greatest Love Of All", both sung by
George Benson, plus "Ali's Theme", which is pretty nice.
