Catchy Patrick Williams score with R+B/funk overtones.

Like many posting on these forums, I also grew to love this film dearly as of its early 80's cable rotation. Of course, its dynamite leading ladies are a major asset, as its scathing sense of humor and numerous hilarious set-ups.

However, I've always felt that one of its most underrated plusses is the score by Patrick Williams. Williams was such a diverse composer, whose work ranged from luxurious traditional orchestral scores, to jazzy suspense (a la Lalo Schifrin), and a handful of these very memorably melodic rock/R&B fusion scores.

This one in particular has that fantastically catchy, tight bass melody that links most of the cues, and good dose of (what sounds like) supplemental Spanish guitar. The whole thing yields a very effective medley of rock, jazz, R&B, funk, and a few disco overtones in places...all of which has a very distinct personality of its own when juxtaposed together. Really great score.

Another solidly good collaboration between Patrick Williams, Hubert Laws, and Earl Klugh is the score to 1985's JUST BETWEEN FRIENDS. While that work bears more of a mid-80's sound, with heavy synthesizer that likens perhaps a Dave Grusin score of the same period, it still has those tight bass melodies and R&B overtones that make the sound easily identifiable in all the right ways.

As for HIGH CO$T, anyone else here have a standout love for this score?
