Diary Of A Mad Black Woman Soundtrack feat. Cole, Angie Stone, Cheryl Pepsi Riley, Patti LaBelle and Tamia.

This spring, Rowdy Records, in association with Universal/Motown Records will release one of the year's most inspirational soundtracks, the accompanying disc to this year's breakthrough movie, the #1 Box Office film, "Diary Of A Mad Black Woman".

The uplifting compilation, co-produced by Rowdy Records founder and acclaimed producer Dallas Austin, is scheduled to hit stores in April. The low budget film's surprising rise to the top of the box office ranks this week was largely due to the efforts of it's innovative writer and producer, African American playwright Tyler Perry, who is also a key motivating/creative force behind the creation of the soundtrack.

The film, which opened at #1 this week, prominently showcases music from the soundtrack. The 12-song CD will feature a breathtaking array of female singers, including Motown's own India.Arie, who delivers the disc's first single, "Purify Me."

"Diary Of A Mad Black Woman," the soundtrack, also features new songs by Natalie Cole, Angie Stone, Cheryl Pepsi Riley, Patti LaBelle and Tamia, among others. The collection of songs is crucial to the film's religious infused plot, about an African American woman, Helen, (played by Kimberly Elise) tossed out of her mansion by her successful but philandering husband. The character soon finds herself on a journey of self exploration and rebirth that reunites her with her spiritual and family ties.

The film, Diary of a Mad Black Woman, which opened at #1 with estimated weekend ticket sales of 22 million, showcases some of the music contained in the soundtrack.

I have to say this is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. I understand what Helen was going through, not because I went through it myself but lets just say I know.By the way the songs were so fulfilling, I mean i literally got in the spirit listening to these Gospel songs. the one that toughed me the most wwas the last song-- man, Mr. perry you did good. The singers were very good, can I meet that Pastor, lol. Ok ok, I settle with the movie. Man he can sing, Oh, the little girl- Wow! I wish I can blow like her. i was touched by the movie, your ministry is going all the way Sir. You have blessed me and my family and i hope you will do it again. god Bless you. Love Shanalee gray, BKA Marsha 2005.

NO ONE IN THE WORLD IS IN DESPARATE NEED OF THIS SOUNDTRACK MORE THAN I AM!!!!!! I AM A TRUE MADEA FAN!! I NEED THIS SOUNDTRACK BEFORE I GO ABSOLUTELY INSANE!!!!!

[Phyllis Maxson]

This movie is the best I have ever seen. What impact it has on my life. I too can relate to Helen's character. For I find myself in a half way relationship with someone who is like Helen's husband. I find myself searching to come into myself and not trusting men but still love the Lord Jesus with all my heart. Please release or direct me to this soundtrack. The songs has such healing words which will bring honor and glory out of such disarray in my present season of life.

[Regina Wells]

I absolutely loved this movie. I went to see it twice. This is truly a must have. I can't wait to get my hands on the soundtrack.

[LENA TAYLOR]

SPECTACULAR, UPLIFTING. DYNAMIC TYLER PERRY ALL I CAN SAY IS YOU GO BOY
YOU STE BLYTHEVILLE ARKANSAS ON FIRE. LOVE YOU GOD BLESS

[Delores Gibson]

Oh my god!!! This movie was so good. It was very different from the play. That's not a bad thing, I enjoyed the play as well. The music was so good. I was really feeling the music. Where can I get a copy of this soundtrack? Mr.Perry keep on doing what you are doing. God Bless.

[Pearl Moore]

This film needs to be seen by all movie buffs. It has fine actors, fine music and is totaslly fine. Be inspired and uplifting in it's message - enjoy people and be blessed. Pearl - London, England

[Crystal Funches]

Words can not describe how I felt about this movie. The faith and the belief in God is unbelievable. The storyline, the actors, and the soundtrack is worth seeing the movie over and over again. Enjoyed every minute and related to the movie so well. Thank you Tyler Perry for opening up my eyes to something I needed. :-)

[janet b jones]

i truly love tyler perry work. i heard that the actress tamala mann that played the character of cora in mr perry plays had died , please tell me this is not true.

[cynthia]

I heard that Tamala Mann had died. I would like to know for sure.Because if it is true the world has really lost a great singer and an inspiration to all woman .Mr.Perry I enjoy all you plays and my Gid bless and keep you.

[Starlett Barbre]

All I can say is that Tyler Perry, you are one blessed individual. I pray that God continue to send his messages through the work he has designated to you. You picked a perfect play to make a movie of. Please continue on your journey for I feel your work has not been completed. I loved every minute of this movie, as well as the play. The vocalists were superb, all of them. Little Tiffany has a soulful voice as if she were here before; she can lead the best of them; Mrs. Mann, all I can say is God bless her and can I have a voice 'similar' to hers; the paster was good looking, as well as a wonderful singer. I have yet to obtain the soundtrack, but I am well on my way. While I have my own personal battles, my situation is none like this but I can say that the message hit home; I'm sure to a lot of individuals out there. Again, Mr. Perry, you are very blessed. I hope to get a chance to meet you in person one day and I can tell you this person to person. You are a wonderful soul and I hope you keep Madea alive and well with more plays and movies. She is truly a gem and so are you. Be blessed and take care. Ms. Starlett, New Orleans, LA.

[teresa nance]

When I was in the theater I thought I was at church! Father Can You Hear Me really brought me to tears! I bought the movie the day it came out. I have never seen a movie that has moved me the way this one has! Thank you for allowing God to use you!

[Dzifah]

I am disappointed they did not put that golden funky oldie on the soundtrack. Do you remember the cook out scene and the oldie. ot goes like this.."AIN'T AIN'T NOBODY"..Anyone who knows the tilttle of that song and the artist, please give me a holla. been looking for it ever since. I saw that great movie.

[Keta]

i luv all Madea plays and i cant wait for her next movie to come out. All of Mr. Perry's plays have inspired me in ways i cant explain..its great that he's making an impact even on young peoples lives like me. I also heard that either David or Tamala Mann died. please correct this rumor n say its not true..if it would the world would b missing another angel.

[ELISABETH]

I LOVED THAT MOVIE IT IS ONE OF THE BEST EVER

[Juanita]

Oh this movie moved me so much. I went to Atlanta this past week and it was just like the movie scenes..oh I loved the way it was put together..I got to watch a couple plays on dvd while I was there visiting my fiance. I am from Canada and I loved it. I was wondering however there is a song on the movie I can't find on the sound track..I don't know the name of it..but Helen is a resturant by herself and a couple is sitting at another table and the man is purposing the song they play in that selection I'd love to know the name of it...if anyone knows please email me.

Thank you Juanita in Nova Scotia Canada

[Sarah]

Oh my gosh you did an excellent job with both the movie and the play. I enjoyed every bit of the movie and play. Let me just say i enjoy all the Madea plays. The songs are excellent. Mr. Perry keep on doing what you are doing. God will give you the will and power to inspire other as u have inspired me. In fact I am listening to Father Can You Hear Me Now

Much Love!!!
Sarah

IS TAMALA MANN DEAD

[S. Watson]

Is it true that Tamala Mann passed? I heard that she did, but I wanted to make sure.
