Mayfield, Curtis – Super Fly (LP-New)

Limited editions RED Vinyl (SYEOR) LP – part of Rhino’s “Start Your Ear Off Right” series. Recreates the original jacket with the overlap cut out.

Mr. Mayfield changed a lot of standards with this 1972 soundtrack, not only his own sound, but the sound of black movie soundtracks, if not soundtracks overall. This is where the wah-wah funk guitar came from. This is where Hollywood producers embraced the belief that “pop” artists could carry an entire soundtrack. Everyone did a soundtrack after this one; Bobby Womack, Isaac Hayes (more than one), Joe Simon, James Brown, Leroy Hutson, Gladys Knight, and on and on…ESSENTIAL!!!
