Watermelon Man (1970)

Jeff Gerber (Godfrey Cambridge) was your average white, middle-class American man. Well, he had his quirks such as his early morning exercise regimen and racing the bus to the bus stop. But other than that he had a good job as an insurance salesman and a happy home life with his wife and kids (including a very young Erin Moran). However one day this all changed when Jeff woke up to find that he was now a black man. At first he thought it was too much sunlamp. But as he and his wife (Estelle Parsons) found out, it was permanent.

Being a Melvin Van Peebles film, this black comedy obviously makes comments on the race issue of United States at the time. It also has a typical Van Pebbles soundtrack that is great but also does include Melvin's singing.
