Curtis MayfieldSuper Fly

Wah-wah guitar slinks in, congas bubble, and Mayfield's falsetto floats over the gutter like neon on wet pavement. 'Freddie's Dead' grooves hard while preaching hard truths, 'Pusherman' oozes seductive menace, and the title strut glides cinematic and cool. 'Little Child Runnin' Wild' breaks your heart. Funky, conscious, immaculate. A soundtrack that outshines its own film. Soul as social document.
