Lalo Schifrin! The man of FuNk! 

       This is the guy behind some of THE funkiest movie themes EVER made. Begininng with Steve McQueen's 1968 classic "Bullitt" to Bruce Lee's "Enter The Dragon", his music gave those stars an image. One could associate those melodies with their favorite celebrities. Indeed, music creates the required state-of-mind and atmosphere for any movie. Those action sequences, car chases, fight scenes, swaggering, swashbuckling vistas need to be fueled by complementing music or its not even half the epoch of what it otherwise could be. 

        Check out some of his famous themes from movies like St. Ives, Dirty Harry, Jaws, Enter The Dragon, Bullitt etc. There's plenty available on YouTube for instant listening. Meanwhile, go grab this DiSco/Funk Jazz gem back from 1976. Its an eerie, haunting, recurring, addictive n funky opus from Mr. Schifrin. Puts you back in your leather boots, fancy coats and swaggerin' persona. Don't believe me? Well, sit down and take a listen; there could be somethin' you might be missin'.
