 | | That SUPERFLY resulted not only in an excellent soundtrack for the film, but in one of Mayfield's best albums, is all the more surprising. |
 | | Along with Isaac Hayes's SHAFT, SUPERFLY wrote the book on blaxploitation music, pioneering sounds, themes, and moods that would be indelibly associated--thanks in part to the films they accompanied--with fl inner-city life in the '70s. |
 | | Mayfield achieves this with an array of lean funk grooves punctuated by brass arrangements, interlocking percussion, wah-wah guitar, and his wispy, soulful tenor.The title track, which closes out the set, is one of Mayfield's signature tunes, and still stands among the most recognisable, and pleasurable, musical emblems of the era. |
