Mayfield's silk-smooth, shiv-sharp ghetto masterpiece!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuper Fly was a film released in 1972 starring Ron O'Neal playing a black cocaine dealer trying to leave the underworld drug life. The outstanding soundtrack, which out-grossed the film, was written and produced by Curtis Mayfield.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurtis Mayfield was an American soul, rhythm and blues and funk singer, songwriter, and record producer. He is highly regarded as a pioneer of funk and of politically conscious African-American Music. He was also a multi-instrumentalist who played the guitar, bass, piano, saxophone, and drums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e    Mayfield's soundtrack to Superfly is an astonishing album, marrying lush string parts to funky bass grooves and lots of wah-wah guitar. On top is Mayfield's knowing falsetto. Tracks such as 'Pusherman' and 'Freddie's Dead' are almost unremittingly bleak, commenting on the movie's glamorization of the drug-trade action and forecasting its inevitable results. 'I don't take credit for everything I write,' Mayfield said. 'I only look upon my writings as interpretations of how the majority of people around me feel.'\u003cbr\u003e    -www.rollingstone.com\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e    An astonishing album.\u003cbr\u003e    -Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e    A testament to the powers of a musician at the top of his game.\u003cbr\u003e    -Entertainment Weekly's 100 Best Soundtracks of All Time\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e    Probably the most important record for shaping the future of black music.\u003cbr\u003e    -Pitchfork, 9.8\/10\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e    180g Vinyl\u003cbr\u003e    Cut from the Original Analog Masters\u003cbr\u003e    Mastered by Ron McMaster at Capitol\u003cbr\u003e    Features Fold-Out Artwork Attached to Jacket\u003cbr\u003e    Packages Replicated to the Finest Detail Manufactured with More Care Than Ever\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack Listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e    Little Child Runnin' Wild\u003cbr\u003e    Pusherman\u003cbr\u003e    Freddie's Dead\u003cbr\u003e    Junkie Chase\u003cbr\u003e    Give Me Your Love (Love Song)\u003cbr\u003e    Eddie You Should Know Better\u003cbr\u003e    No Thing on Me (Cocaine Song)\u003cbr\u003e    Think (Instrumental)\u003cbr\u003e    Superfly\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: LP Vinyl\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Rhino (Pure)\u003cbr\u003eCatalog No: 524044\u003cbr\u003eBarcode: 0081227980436\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Soul\u003cbr\u003eNo of Discs: 1\u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: 9\/28\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Curtis Mayfield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51282460115164,"sku":null,"price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0524\/4443\/0495\/files\/5wblp79804-large__17749.1778503628.jpg?v=1781715785","url":"https:\/\/www.vinylprovisions.com\/products\/curtis-mayfield-super-fly-180g-lp","provider":"Vinyl Provisions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
