Eight ball and what's behind it

This movie has been lost for years. It simply disappeared and was not available, until recently.

Back when we had video stores I always kept an eye out for two films, J.T. and Trouble Man. The former was simply ignored in the extreme. The latter, Trouble Man somehow was included on a list of the worst 50 films of all time. Sure the film is formulaic and predictable, but intellectual challenge was never a hallmark of blaxploitation flicks. This is a damn fine film. It should have been a hit. Sometimes you just want to see a little righteous ass kickin with your popcorn. I highly recommend you check it out.

Anyhoo, bonus points to anybody who can identify the highly respected jazz crooner in the early scenes of the film.
