All 20 Songs from the Precious Soundtrack
Here are all 20 songs from the Precious soundtrack with downloads and videos for them. The soundtrack to Precious ranges from gospel to soul, jazz to show tunes, with hip hop and Christmas music thrown in the mix. There’s Queen Latifah, Mary J. Blige and Labelle, crossed with Lenny Kravitz and The Platters, with a little bit of Da Brat and Bobby Brown to boot.
My favorite song from the movie is System by Labelle. Here they are live from the Beacon Theater earlier this year:
Talk about live. Here’s a little throw back to Queen Latifah before she started making movies:
And Mary J. Blige talking about her song “I Can See in Color” featured in the movie and why she wanted her music included in the movie:

Cant get to the Da Brat track- do you have a link
Thanks
i’m trying to find it too. if i do, i will post it here.
pleaseeeeeeeeeee someone find the da brat & lil mo soundtrack!!!!!!!!!!!
song* i mean..
I think I should say that the song “My Good Lovin” by Da Brat and Lil Mo DOES NOT match the one I heard in the movie. I was able to find a copy of the movie. I was also able to find a copy of the song “My Good Lovin” by Da Brat and Lil Mo. When compared the LYRICS used in the movie are different than the one for My Good Lovin. They both use the same beat and hook (she sings my good lovin as part of the hook) BUT WHOEVER was rapping in the movie IS NOT in the song by Da Brat and Lil Mo. Not even her lyrics and the way she plays with the hook. The biggest giveaway was when in the movie she sings “yall belong together”. That does NOT happen in this song. I’m sorry, but it’s true. Took one hell of a time to find the song itself, but what a big let down to find out it’s not the same one as the movie. If you guys want to find the one by Da Brat type into google “Back Like That Da Brat” and it’ll have a link to listen to it. Again tho that is NOT THE SAME SONG FROM THE MOVIE. NOT EVEN THE SAME RAPPER. Just has the same beat and hook.
my apologies. let me see if i can tell what the precise song is when i go see the movie again this weekend. this is what the credits said but i will check it again.
You’re right, it does say that in the credits, but I believe it to be maybe a special remix made for the movie. When I further inspected it I believe it showed that Lil Mo made a special appearance for that specific song and if I’m right that’s her who we hear rap. Originally she didn’t rap. She was just the background vocals. As far as how to maybe get THAT specific song, I wouldn’t know. It’s really weird how this song wasn’t included in the soundtrack. It was well worth including it.
yea im tryin to find that song too please someone post it.
I KNOOOOOO ….I cannnot find this song to save my life …
