Its sales were bolstered by two million-selling singles, "Freddie's Dead" (number 2 R&B charts, number 4 Pop charts) and the title track (number 5 R&B, number 8 Pop).

  • Super Fly is the third studio album by American soul musician Curtis Mayfield, released in July 1972 on Curtom Records. It was released as the soundtrack for the Blaxploitation film of the same name. Widely considered a classic of 1970s soul and funk music, Super Fly was a nearly immediate hit. Its sales were bolstered by two million-selling singles, "Freddie's Dead" (number 2 R&B charts, number 4 Pop charts) and the title track (number 5 R&B, number 8 Pop). Super Fly is one of the few soundtracks to out-gross the film it accompanied. Super Fly, along with Marvin Gaye's What's Going On (1971), was one of the pioneering soul concept albums, with its then-unique socially aware lyrics about poverty and drug abuse making the album stand out. The film and the soundtrack may be perceived as dissonant, since the film holds rather ambiguous views on drug dealers, whereas Curtis Mayfield's position is far more critical. Like What's Going On, the album was a surprise hit that record executives felt had little chance at significant sales. Due to its success, Mayfield was tapped for several film soundtracks over the course of the decade. (en)

Avec What's Going On de Marvin Gaye, Superfly fut un pionnier parmi les albums concept dans la musique soul. Curtis Mayfield y dénonce les dealers qui sont les nouveaux esclavagistes de la jeune société métissée américaine. Il se situe dans la lignée d'Isaac Hayes (Les Nuits rouges de Harlem). En 2003, l'album fut désigné 69e meilleur album de tous les temps par le magazine Rolling Stone. Il fait partie de la liste des 1001 albums qu'il faut avoir écoutés dans sa vie. (fr)
