Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })This 1975 Coming of Age film, directed by Michael Schultz, has been described as "The Black American Graffiti."The story explores the adventures and relationships of Leroy "Preach" Jackson (Glynn Turman) and Richard "Cochise" Morris (Lawrence Hilton Jacobs), two black high school students at Edwin J. Cooley High School whose carefree lives take a turn for the worse through several twists of fate.Set in 1964 Chicago, the film features an all-Motown soundtrack, including the original version of "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday", which was later Covered Up by Boyz II Men on their debut album Cooleyhighharmony. Garrett Morris plays Mr. Mason, the history teacher. Robert Townsend made his film debut in a bit part (he's one of the basketball players).A TV series was planned, which actually ended up being retooled into the nearly-unrecognizable What's Happening!!.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Anachronism Stew: Several of the songs used in the film were released after the period in which it is supposedly set. (At the party everyone slow dances to "Ooo Baby Baby", which came out in 1965.)
