- D.C. Cab: Music from the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the soundtrack to the 1983 film D.C. Cab. The producers selected artists for the album who were popular with a young, black audience, and the popularity of one of the film's stars, Mr. T, prompted the film's distributor to release the film four months earlier than planned. D.C. Cab performed poorly at the box office, and the soundtrack peaked at number 181 on the album chart in Billboard magazine. The first of the three singles released from the album, "The Dream (Hold On to Your Dream)" by Irene Cara, had some success on multiple singles charts in the US and had a music video that received airplay on MTV. Cara later claimed in a lawsuit that her musical contribution was arranged by the head of her record company. The two other singles, "Deadline U.S.A." by Shalamar and the film's title song by Peabo Bryson scored on the Black Singles chart. Critics in Billboard gave the album high marks, whereas the reviewer for AllMusic gave it one-and-a-half stars. (en)
