$5 MP3 Album Deal: Curtis Mayfield ‘Superfly’ Original Soundtrack Recording
space
Stoogeypedia   |  

Superfly

Superfly, the soundtrack to one of the most memorable films from the early 1970s “blaxploitation” era and containing music written and produced by the late, great R&B/funk legend Curtis Mayfield, is now available on MP3 format from Amazon this month for only $5.00 as part of their 100 albums for $5 each deal.

Released originally over 40 years ago, Superfly remains more than just a curious curio from that genre where tough dialogue, almost miniscule budgets, and realistic gritty cinematography, along with liberal dashes of sex and violence, were large orders of the day. It’s a nice cornerstone of a soundtrack, taking the reins where the equally memorable musicality for Shaft left off about a year earlier.

Mayfield takes the ball now and delivers a mammoth slam dunk, superb tracks like the emotionally packed “Little Child, Running Wild,” the hypnotically caught in a groove loop “Give Me Your Love,” and well known tracks which have stood on their own separate from the film, the bass heavy, treble conscious “Pusherman,” the clavinet crawling “Freddie’s Dead” and the title track, which stands as almost the archetype anthem for the entire blaxploitation movement. Instrumentals and other equally sure footed tracks round out the collection. A must.

Browse all 100 albums on sale this month for only $5 each.
