''Dollar$'' is the soundtrack album to the 1971 Richard Brooks movie of the same name, variously known as ''$'', ''Dollars'', ''Dollar$'' or ''The Heist'', starring Warren Beatty and Goldie Hawn. ==History== The soundtrack, originally issued on Reprise Records, is composed by Quincy Jones, and features performances by Little Richard, Roberta Flack and Doug Kershaw. Throughout the album, the Don Elliott Voices provide harmony vocal background to otherwise instrumental pieces.〔The "Don Elliott Voices" were generally Don Elliott, a frequent soundtrack collaborator with Quincy Jones, multitracking his voice. An example is the Roberta Flack version of "When You're Smiling", on the ''Dollar$'' soundtrack. Flack is backed by a twenty voice choir, all created through multitracking the vocals of Don Elliott. See Scooter Pirtie, ("Don Elliott: He was a gentleman, too" ) (1994); www.middlehornleader.com.〕 Jones, who was at the time under contract to A&M Records, was given permission by A&M Records to become involved with the soundtrack.〔(Comments of Bob Knack, July 12, 2004 at "A&M Corner" ); www.brasil66.com.〕 Little Richard, Roberta Flack and Doug Kershaw were all artists with the Warner Bros. Records/Reprise group. The film was released in December 1971, followed by the early 1972 release of the soundtrack album. Jones' "Money Runner", was the promoted single from the album,〔(Sealed album particulars, including "hype sticker" in relation to "Money Runner" ); www.audiophileusa.com.〕 released concurrently with the film, in December 1971. "Money Is", written by Jones and sung by Little Richard, was the B-side.〔(Particulars of "Money Runner" single ); www.discogs.com.〕〔Little Richard's performances of "Money Is" and "Do It-To It" were later included in a limited edition collection of Little Richard's recordings for Reprise records, released in 2005 by Rhino Handmade. See (Particulars of Little Richard, King of Rock and Roll, ''The Complete Reprise Recordings'' ); www.rock-n-roll.40s-50s.info.〕 Despite being subject to a degree of mixed critical reception,〔Critic Jason Birchmeier describes it as "...impressive, (though) it's one of (Jones') less interesting projects." (Review of ''Dollar$'' Soundtrack ); www.allmusic.com.〕〔In contrast, ''Score, Baby!'', a website devoted to reviews of "cult soundtracks of the 60s. 70s and beyond" described the ''Dollar$'' soundtrack as "essential", being an "inventive blend of experimental jazz and rhythm & blues". It was further described as being comparable to Jones' score for ''They Call Me Mr. Tibbs'', in terms of being among Jones' "best funky soundtrack work". See (Review of ''Dollar$'' Soundtrack ); www.scorebaby.com.〕 the soundtrack remains of ongoing interest to later artists. Gang Starr sampled "Snow Creatures",〔(Particulars of Gang Starr sampling ); www.whosampled.com.〕 while Mobb Deep sampled "Kitty With The Bent Frame"〔(Particulars of Mobb Deep sampling ); www.whosampled.com.
