Bobby Womack - Across 110th Street Title track from the 1972 film, directed by Barry Shear. A crime drama set in Harlem. The film is taking its name from 110th Street, the traditional dividing line between Harlem and Central Park. "Across 110th Street Pimps trying to catch a woman that's weak Across 110th Street Pushers won't let the junkie go free Across 110th Street Woman trying to catch a trick on the street Across 110th Street You can find it all in the street"
