About this album

Claudine is a striking soundtrack that turns the 1974 film into a powerful statement of socially conscious soul. Gladys Knight And The Pips work with Norman Whitfield, whose production gives the album its blend of lush orchestration, gospel-inflected feeling and hard-hitting realism. The record is anchored by songs such as Mr. Welfare Man, To Be Invisible and Make Yours A Happy Home, which helped define the mood and message of the film’s story. More than a film tie-in, it stands as one of the group’s most distinctive early-1970s releases and a strong example of Motown’s adventurous soundtrack work.
