The Wiz: The Super Soul Musical "Wonderful Wizard Of Oz" is the original Broadway cast recording of the groundbreaking 1975 musical that reimagined L. Frank Baum's classic story through the lens of funk, soul, and disco. Released on Atlantic Records, this landmark soundtrack brought a vibrant, African American cultural perspective to a beloved tale, earning widespread acclaim and helping cement its place as a cultural touchstone of the era.
The album bursts with infectious energy, featuring standout tracks like "Ease On Down The Road," "Be A Lion," and "Everybody Rejoice" — the latter featuring lyrics by a then up-and-coming Luther Vandross. The soundtrack's blend of soul, funk, and disco makes it as electrifying to listen to today as it was upon its original release, offering a rich and joyful listening experience that fans of the genre and musical theater alike will treasure.
