Black artists like soul pioneer Isaac Hayes became one of the first to contribute to a film score when he created compositions for the Blaxploitation film, Shaft, in 1971.

What is a good film or series without an awesome score to go along with it? The music keeps the movie moving with sounds that capture the emotion of each scene. Check out a gallery of our favorites inside. We want to continue our celebration this week with the Black artists who have produced some of your favorite films and tv series’ soundtracks.


June is Black Music Month, which continues to celebrate Black artists’ many contributions to the music industry.
