  Superfly (soundtrack) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Superfly was a 1972 (see 1972 in music) film soundtrack by Curtis Mayfield for the blaxploitation film Superfly.
Superfly, along with Marvin Gaye's What's Going On, 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 Superfly film holds rather ambiguous - some will say sympathetic - views on drug dealers, whereas Curtis Mayfield's position is far more critical.

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.

The following year Mayfield enjoyed his biggest UK success with "Move On Up", a compulsive dance song that reached number 12 but surprisingly did not chart in the USA.
There, the artist's commercial ascendancy was maintained in 1972 with "Freddie's Dead" (US R&B number 2/number 4 pop hit) and the theme from Superfly, a "blaxploitation" movie that he also scored.
Both singles and the attendant album achieved gold status, inspiring further excursions into motion picture soundtracks, including Claudine, A Piece Of The Action, Sparkle and Short Eyes, the last of which featured Mayfield in an acting role.
