United Artists released Bobby Womack's "Across 110th Street" as a single in February 1973, the title song from the soundtrack to the film of the same name, the one starring Anthony Quinn and Yaphet Kotto. Womack wrote it with J.J. Johnson, and the label billed it to Bobby Womack and Peace, the same credit that had already scored with "Harry Hippie".
It's rhythm and blues made for the big screen, all grit and swagger, and it kept a hot streak rolling: by the end of March, Billboard was counting it as Womack's fourth hit in a year. On the flip side sat "Hang On In There", a Womack song of his own.
