Nostalginen. Nuorena oisin antanut varmaan yhden tähden enemmän. Nyt tuntui liian toisteiselta. Sovituksiin tuli kiinnitettyä enemmän huomiota kuin aiemmin.

Mayfield hits a home run with what I consider to be the "correct" rendition of hip-hop. Compare this to later artists with similar lyrical themes, such as Public Enemy or the Wu-Tang Clan and you see a vast difference in accessibility, melody, harmony/chords, instrumentation, and variation both within and between tracks. It's such a relieving breath of fresh air - especially given that this subgenre is underrepresented on this list. I'd compare it to Marvin Gaye's output, particularly his monumental What's Going On released just a year before Superfly. Both artists skilfully weave together poetic, hauntingly human lines about poverty, drug use, and politics. But where Gaye takes the smooth, soulful route, Mayfield opts for something a little groovier. And that's where I can shout out the rhythm section. Man, it's so good. Especially the drums. Per specific tracks: From the get-go, in the album-opener Little Child Runnin' Wild, we have an organ-keyboard setting up a mysterious and understated atmosphere. The strings bring in this hurried, hushed mystique that sets the tone nicely for the rest of the song and the record. The singing is on-point. Percussion is texturally light but very complex and engaging for the ear. Pusherman and Freddie's Dead have brilliant guitar hooks that go excellently with their biting lyrics. In the latter track, the combo of strings in the left ear and a bit of everything (wah-wah guitar, horns, harp) in the right ear is heavenly. The title/closing track definitely sounds like a track for a film, with its big-band arrangement and driving tempo. It's very catchy and a solid album closer. I could listen to this for hours. 5/5 Key tracks: Little Child Runnin' Wild, Pusherman, Freddie's Dead, Superfly

Funky, sexy, grimy, and vivid.

Didn't expect much from a 1972 movie soundtrack, but this was really enjoyable!

I like cocaine

oh I have listened to this one before! It’s funky and you can figure out the story. Great album to have in Prince day!

SMOOOOOTH.

Yo, a OST? Dope! Big budget methinks 1 Fucking GROOVY there is a lot going on here— congas and sax and string section and vibes and harp?! Goddamn smooth as hell, introduces the audience to characters and settings in a cool way too. Wish the vocals had a bit more umph to them, either in mix or execution, to match the cinematic quality of it all— but they’re still smooth as hell, which is good. Drums really kick into gear towards the end, good energy throughout. Good pacing, could be a bit shorter but it’s a movie theme so. Great 2 Rototoms? Off rip? You’re spoiling me golly MM that’s some rhythm love the vocals immediately, soulful like a smooth rock skipping across a still pond. Love that he backs up, lets the instrumental breathe plenty. It’s patient, but insistent. God dude I wanna like make someone think I’m hot to this. Very unique track in that it feels longer than it is in a good way— doesn’t usually work like that, but this time dilation some good shit. Def don’t mind the fade-out, it’s tasteful and well-timed 3 Hm okay the story telling is a little on the nose on this one, a little too broadway— still fun, though, and damn if the string section isn’t sweet. RIP Fred ig. Truck driver key change is a little corny, but I like the muted trumpet that kicks in. This is the theme? I guess. “Fred is dead” is def catchy enough to be a tagline, crunchy bass is crunchy, okay this is growing on me. Little energy break, lovely little harp accents! Yeah yeah ok I’m with it 4 Horn section’s time to shine! This is more OST, perfectly catchy while not demanding your attention. So much of soul can feel samey to me, capturing vibes more than substance, but because the instrumentals are so diverse and eclectic so far I feel really fresh. Silly title though lol 5 More OST kinda stuff, until the vocals kick in ok nvm. Not loving the hi-hat just playing slow 16ths in my right ear, really distractingly loud. Melody on this is nice, wish the harp had more to work with than just the occasional flourish though cos it’d play off the flute and higher-register piano really well. Yeah, just groovy stuff! 6 Euyugh, a triangle? Duuuuude nice. Eddie, think of the tears and fears! Guitar sounds like— NO THAT TOTALLY IS A THEREMIN! Or a guitar with the sounds of the strings being plucked edited out lol. God dude this album is just delightful. Strings offer real tension, especially in the post-choruses. 7 God dude, just an immaculate mix— so much going on, but it’s all so well composed and controlled. Love call and response with the vocals and the muted trumpet. Could be the poppiest so far, really goddamned catchy. The one consistent throughout this record so far has been grooving conga, and it’s really paying dividends here— allows the form to dip more towards pop and funk while retaining that soulfulness. Lil sax solo? Kinda distant, the piano is so forward. Wish that got mixed better. Back to biz afterwards though. Kinda misleading to subtitle this “Cocaine Song” haha, def promoting a clean life? Or at least the semblance of one. Sunny and fun. Listen to that piano twinkle in the back, and the bari sax gently roar! Sure is funky! Nice slow fade-out, that’s classy. I think I’m really coming around to fade-outs 8 Oo taking it down a notch, beautiful tone to the guitar. Could see Nujabes sampling this. Wow, glockenspiel all the way in the left ear sounds absolutely stellar, celestial. Oboe? Bassoon? I always get those confused, but it’s one of those fuckers— sounds great. Such a fresh OST, so much experimentation while still sounding cohesive. Weird little rhythmic thing, kinda feels like they skip a beat somewhere a couple of times, that’s odd. Love the sax swaggering in. Half time really feels great leading in to the final song on the record, feels like we’ve come a long way. Very cinematic. God yeah this is for a movie! Crazy stuff man. 9 God I have never been half as cool as Curtis when he says “Superfly” lmao. Can def hear the Blaxploitation in some of the lyrics throughout this record, but it’s played so lovingly and beautifully that I can’t help but feel it lives beyond its roots. I haven’t talked enough about the vocals, his delivery has really grew on me, he’s got a feather touch to consonants that is just pleasing as heck. Wild instrumentation for the title track— steel guitar kinda sound, heavy use of rototoms, deep brass. Eschews the earlier use of strings in favor of more big band feels on the latter most songs of the record. What a timeless record that is distinctly 70s. Oxymoronically phenomenal.

This soundtrack album is glorious.

Smooth. Curtis' bong player doesn't get enough respect. And the dude can sing.

Seriously, seriously, seriously good. Everything lines up so neatly on this record; smoothed out jams juxtaposed with stirring string arrangements, moments of individual flourish from each player at different moments … all of it organised around what’s surely one of the most gorgeously soulful vocal performances ever recorded. It feels quite brave, too, to have scored a film that might otherwise be seen as pretty ambivalent about drug crime with a collection of messages about healthy mindsets and getting high on life. Good for you, Curtis. All that might be a maybe, but what’s for sure is that this album, in so many ways, stands alone. Just wonderful.

Very pleasant

bro cooked

Beautiful soul and story telling

Where are my platform shoes? The 70's live!

>Album finishes >Hit repeat >Album finishes >Hit repeat At first I thought I would get tired of Mayfield's singing, I was wrong. Incredible album start to finish.

Fucking sick. So funky and sexy and 70s. Need to see the movie

Listened to this for the first time while mowing the lawn, the second time while working out in my bedroom. Fire stuff.

Smoooooooooth! "Think" is a Jam!

Very nice. It was superfly.

If this album doesn't put a little funk in your step nothing will.

kinda boring/not for me Best song: Pusherman Worst Song: Junkie Chase

Sexy sleek tasty sinfull funk music. love it

I got U2 for my first album and about quit this project one album in. I'm glad that I got Superfly as my second; I listened to it three times yesterday and was surprised at how well it holds up. Way better than Joshua Tree.

Amazing, obviously, but somehow doesn't land for me like other Curtis.

You gotta make your fortune, by and by.

Absolutely stunning album, I love the thought-provoking commentary throughout the album with Curtis critiquing on the various issues plaguing the black community. At some parts you get smooth, sensual, and blissful. Most of the album is hard hitting, thoughtful, soulful, funky, and a dash of spirituality thrown in there. Great overall. Favs: Pusherman, Give Me Your Love, Eddie You Should Know Better, Think - Instrumental, and Superfly 4.50/5

Oh this was groovy af and really nice to listen to while playing mc with the bf

First Listen - Don't know/recognise any songs Not my usual taste of music Really like the call and response in 'No Thing On Me' Probably won't be coming back to this one

I really love this album. Very cool funk. A very effective, amazing (but not showy) rhythm section. On top of that, funky (but again, not overdone) guitars and other instruments and interesting vocals. I also like that, because it is film music, it becomes almost a concept album. I could give this a 4 on a bad day but it's a good day.

Funky as hell, cool as shit.

Just superb on multiple levels, groove, lyric content, instrumentation and arrangements. Mayfield is a poet. 4 Star

Funky, bold and simply great music. Excellent.

Pretty good. Like how the best song was last.

Interesting

The greatest funk soul album of all time. I first heard of Curtis Mayfield from the Dead Presidents soundtrack, which was a solid intro into funk/soul when I was a teenager. Then my good buddy gave me a copy of this album on vinyl--each of his parents had one apparently, and his father had passed recently anyway. Solid gift from a great guy. So where to start. I guess with the album itself--I'm not sure many new fans to this have heard of the movie first, but I later bought it on cheap VHS. The intro with the white caddy made that like a dream car for a while for me. This album has absolutely everything. Hard social commentary, amazing music and great falsetto. The horns that Mayfield has are harder than almost anything short of Fela Kuti, and even that's debatle between legends. The percussion... basically this album's only weaker points are Cocaine, and even that song's grown on me. Pusherman, Little Child, Freddie's Dead--I have those on multiple playlists. In fact, nearly every song here is on a playlist somewhere. I wish they never remade this movie, mostly because the remake has such a garbage soundtrack. Clean 5/5 as one of top 5 soul albums of all time, and likely my GOAT.

tuvo bueno

2+ Stars (6/15)

Just amazing

cool 70s soul/funk

Had a nice feel about it, some things felt a bit too long but it made up for it in the limited track list. 4 stars

5 stars, brilliant work.

Feels like the music in a movie. Very doll.

The more of this list I listen to, the clearer it becomes to me that if a genre is called "psychedelic X" it's not going to be one of my favourites. That said I think the funk parts of this makes up for some of it and makes it at least somewhat interesting Standouts Little Child Runnin' Wild Freddie's Dead Superfly 3/5

Ga meg ikkje så masse

Excellent development of the soul sound in the 70s. 3.5/5

The music: 🕺 The lyrics: 💀

5 stars. Short and sweet, this record sounds cool and timeless

I dig the grooviness of the tunes, I would give it a 3.7 which rounds to a 4. Best album so far.

Great funky soundtrack! The opening line in Pusherman caught me off guard which was a funny way to start such a great funky song. Overall I'm probably going to drive with this album playing in the background at all times.

Loved this

Others have already said it all, better, but yes: superb instrumentation and story-telling. Loved it.

Most excellent.

Pusherman alone would give this five stars but love this album

Funk, strings, gets a little long, even at 37 minutes.

Pretty fly album!

Loved this. Great vibes.

So groovy

I'm no expert, but my impression is this genre--funk in general and blaxploitation specifically--is filled with forgettable music. Superfly stands out as a solid album top to bottom, plus major hits in Pusherman and Superfly. Mayfield was ahead of his time.

Cool, groovy, fun! Kinda 1 dimensional? 3.9

cool as fuck

Not my thing, DNF 03/04/25

Couldn’t listen to it

Perfect fast walking city commute soundtrack. Love the jazz and classical additions to the funk. 3.5/4

Paragon, perhaps flawless in making gilded, sumptuous music around hard lives related, this record makes me feel like I’m admiring it from the outside, peering into a glass display case.

Didn't get much time with this today thanks to a kids party superbug, but I really enjoyed what I could pay attention to while drifting in and out of consciousness. Simple grooves worked to funky perfection with Mayfield's characteristically-great vocals and lyrics.

An unflinching work about the need to elevate a community above the oppressive stereotypes the ruling class limits it to.

This one was even better than expected 😎

Enjoyable, some fun tracks like pusherman in there

Absolut verdient in dieser Liste! Groovy und funky und dann noch diese epischen Sound Elemente weil es ein Soundtrack ist! Macht gute Laune! Werd ich auf meiner Liste speichern! 6/5 Lieblingssong(s): „Little Child Running Wild“ und „Pusherman“

An OK listen, not bad but not a lot grabbed me.

custom_rating: 5

This was a great album, super fun to listen to

This was really fun and groovy sounding, and socially conscious too for a movie soundtrack. Made me wanna check out superfly. 3.8/5. Fav song: Pusherman

I enjoyed this album, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to listen to it. It was a nice change of pace from what we've been getting.

Hip and groovy, sweet and funky, this is so easy to dig for reasons of fluidity. The guitar is particularly strong but the string flourishes, drumming and keys are all well judged and additive throughout.

finally some good music.

Instrumental parts are decent. The lyrics are corny. Good background music. I’m not a fan of this type of funk. It was better than Shaft though.

#541. I haven't liked the other movie soundtracks I've heard on this list, but this one's not too bad. 3/5: decent

Superfly is so goddamn fun. I remember hearing "Pusherman" used in the movie, The Hebrew Hammer, and it stuck with me ever since. Curtis Mayfield's voice is silk smooth and super cool.

Superfly and Shaft should duke it out in the alley. So smooth and beautiful

The whole time I felt like a detective in a 70’s cop show. Hell of a vibe

Robust, wonderful, jazzy. The instrumentals are great on their own and it's all incredibly easy to listen to. Of course I hear the overall anti-drug message. Pusherman and No Thing On Me were easy to add to my likes. A little dare-ish at times but delivered honestly and bluntly.

Gran disco

This was an interesting album in that it's one of the few I listened to twice, because I wasn't sure how much I enjoyed it the first time around. Was there enough to warrant a 4 star? In the end I decided no, it's a 3. It's enjoyable, funky music, but not soul-stirring.

Just a fun and funky ride.

Basic R&B with a good vocal performance from Curtis Mayfield however it also felt very lacking and a lot of the songs sounded very similar with not one standing out to me. I liked the instrumentals in the songs though, the different instruments giving it that little something more. Probably wouldn't listen to again in a hurry though.

That baseline is just forever imprinted in my brain

This was a fun album. If more funk and disco were like this, I'd like the whole genre more.

Really enjoyed this one but it didn't blow me a way. Seemed to lose some steam mid album. Standouts: Little Child Runnin' Wild, Superfly Rating: 4/5

Classic. All bops.

3 out of 5. Makes me want to watch the movie.

Awesome 👍👍

Helt okej, några låtar har man hört innan, inget världsomvälvande

The songs are just kind of ok. Nothing really all that interesting. Moving along. Best song: Freddie's Dead

A solid funk & soul album that comments on cultural problems of urban poverty, most drug dealing and use. The rhythms are smooth, the instrumental playing is razor sharp, and arrangements are lush and layered. Mayfield’s high voice cutting through the butter like a hot knife. Not every track is memorable, but overall a good album.

vibe. jazz, slowish but not too much. calming. nice overall.

Superfly.

Not my style but surprisingly pleasant. This feels comfortable, like if music were a sofa, maybe a little in contrast with its themes. Three and one half out of five.

Not a bad soul album but I don't think this stands up on its own without the film which I'm interested in seeing. "Pusherman" top track..the rest is meh. I guess the title track is iconic and album makes the list for its popularity at the time...1.65.

Kinda weird to see a movie soundtrack on this list. It's pretty crazy that the soundtrack managed to out-gross the movie it is associated with. I'm not familiar with the film, but after listening to the album I can see why. I don't have much familiarity with the soul genre but it felt like it hit a lot of the signature sounds I associate with the genre. It's a pretty solid 30-minute soul album with a couple tracks that I can see applied to a movie. I don't expect I'll ever listen to this again but I didn't mind the 30 minutes I got. 2.43 stars

First time I have ever listened to this complete album. Decent overall, but nothing in there is as memorable as Movin on Up. Still solid. 3.5/5

Listened to this on my main system with decent volume. I actually really enjoyed it. Typically this style of music leaves me cold but this one grabbed me.

my name is john pork and im still pretty gay

Absolutely loved this.

500th Record - just funky beats and cool vibes. Ain’t nothing to complain about on this record.

Easy listening

Decent enough got OG sample of busta rhymes in there geddoooon

90% Best: Pusherman; Freddie’s Dead; Give Me Your Love (Love Song); Superfly Must-Hear? Yes

definitely a good listen

I really enjoyed!

Just very cool. I was a bit skeptical in the first track or 2 but damn I was worried about nothing. Geat songs.

Pretty cool, easy to listen to

Another soundtrack chosen seemingly at random. I like it!

3.5 stars

Sounds amazing, great lyrics, super smooth. I knew I loved soul music but it's been the revelation of this project so far, so much great stuff I wasn't so familiar with but now really enjoy.

I went in thinking I would be lukewarm on this one, but it's fantastic. I've never been a fan of Mayfield's falsetto, but he doesn't lean on it here and the music is so good--every song is solid. This would be 4.5 for me, maybe someday a 5.

Smoooooooooooooth

Some funky songs, but on the whole disappointing and very dated.

Nice, what a super smooth album. I’m not generally into the soul/funk thing, but whatever happened here was a perfect musical balance to what is quite the melancholy lyrical vibe. Given the themes it could be quite angry but instead his voice just welcome you in to listen to the story. It just feels very unique to me. Love the ‘songs’ e.g. the opening 3 and the ending.

This is a pretty special album. I love Curtis' debut and was planning on listening to this one for a long time. To be honest, I still think the debut has an edge on it, but not by much. It is a very good record. Great band, awesome vocals. It made me want to see the film, and I will soon, I hope. Cool one, indeed.

initially discounted it a little for being a movie soundtrack but it really just stands on its own as a full piece of work. all the tracks are solid and curtis' songwriting is on point. was a really good album to be mad at public transport to

An excellent soul album. Great stuff.

Really liked this sound x

like the soul

I love that this was made for a now barely known blaxploitation film. It is a really high quality album. I always liked how Mayfield looked like a bit of a nerd but his voice was amazing

really good

Went into this expecting a 4/5 since I've really enjoyed what I've heard from Curtis Mayfield before, but also expecting it to show some age. It absolutely didn't. Soulful, funky, amazing. Title track and Freddie's Dead being my standouts. I'll have to listen again to see if I want to playlist anything, but this is an amazing record. Edit: After sitting on this for a while, knocking it down to a 4. Still a fantastic record, but haven't really felt like going back to it since I got it.

I liked this one, really just consistently just a great soundtrack and really enjoyable songs, especially Curtis' voice, but happened while listening to this (completely unrelated to this album) that bummed me out and just took me out of them mood for this. I will probably return to this when I'm in a better mood because it is good but it's just not what I'd wanna have on right now

I'm your mama, I'm your daddy I'm that ***** in the alley I'm your doctor when in need Want some coke? Have some weed You know me, I'm your friend Your main boy, thick and thin I’m your pusher man! This album is smooootthhhhh man just makes you feel cool inside. This is that cigar with a glass of cognac, two stepping in the living room type of music. Timeless!

I was not expecting the soundtrack to a Blaxplotation film to be on this list, but the fact that I could identify exactly what the music was without looking it up tells me exactly why it is on this list. This album was a great listen, and I can see why the best songs went on to surpass the legacy of the film itself. And the music is effective without being cliche. At one point I asked myself if a song was chase music, only to look at the track title and see that it was in fact the backing audio for a chase scene. It was done well, the music is a groove, and despite the genre relying on exploitation, the music felt original and fresh.

Funky as hell with poignant lyrics.

Good album. Horn section is tight.

Funky. Super. Fly. I’ve seen this album featured on various sites as a top 5 funk album all time. Never listened to it. It’s funk. It’s soul. It’s R&B. Really enjoyed each of the 36 minutes. The blend of instruments is crazy and the concept running thru the album of the attempt to escape the poverty-stricken drug abuse culture is gripping. At times, Mayfield somehow had me tapping my foot and feeling sorrowful at the same time. I was really rooting for the character to break free of the temptations all around. A real treat and a solid 5 ⭐️ for me.

C’était incr

Kinda liked it Will I listen to again: 10%

Really good anti-drug funk album. Highlights are "Freddie's Dead," "Give Me Your Love" and "Think - Instrumental". Slows down a bit in the middle (particularly "Eddie You Should Know Better" and "No Thing on Me." Overall, kind of an odd, funky, enjoyable listening experience. Love the instrumentation and Mayfield's falseto.

The heist… Is… On. Funky, political, and with a voice so distinct and groooovy. My not-so-hot take is I prefer this to What’s Going On.

This was pretty cool. Better than the Shaft soundtrack since it didn’t need context from the movie.

This is probably only a 3 for me, but it is following a Kid Rock album, and therefore a 4 seems fair.

First movie soundtrack of the list. Was it an album first and then a soundtrack? That would be cool. I don’t know what this is going to be but I’m hoping for a large degree of funkiness. If anything can top that suit and chops combo, I’ll be surprised. Let’s dive off the top rope into Super Fly. This is so boring. Is the intro of the movie an incredibly sad man who doesn’t really show it? A lot of hurt in the inside, but he goes about his normal life, going through his mundane tasks. You’re my mother and father? And a slur? The world is nestled in a blanket of infinity. Kept aloft by my delicate hand. Cradled in a ritual older than the concept of time. I’m the keeper of the codes. The axis upon which all things turn. I am omnipresent. I am… the pusherman. This was mid. Ooh funk. Good let’s let it die in the arms of this vocal and a repeat of the same three notes for the rest of the song. The swell of the strings or whatever sucks big time. This is background music. A small amount of jazz saxophone? Splendid. Genuinely splendid. This is a very lush quick instrumental break. The vocals let this thing down. The runs are boring, the tone is sappy and we don’t need them. If this is what can happen with a silent singer, we definitely don’t need them. This song was fine. The lack of variety is an issue again. I already feel like I’ve Been here for a long time. It’s just so boring. It’s so clear that this wasn’t meant to be listened to as a standalone track. The Pusherman is back. Was he ever gone? This makes me want to use drugs. Or not. Whatever the message of this song is, I want to do the opposite. My head hurts. It’s actually beginning to irritate me. Oh thank you Pusherman. You have delivered unto me an instrumental. It’s not a great one, but at least I don’t need to hear any sappy vocals and boring lyrics for 3 minutes or so. This sounds like SNL is closing for the night. Throw in that weird horn that appears on strange jazz releases and you’ve got yourself a (another) mid song. I wish this song was about Fijian professional wrestler/insane person Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka. This is ending much the same way as his life did. In a murder trial where he was deemed unfit to stand trial for the murder of his girlfriend. Now THAT is how do a metaphor. Laboured and barely coherent and also a joke. Anyway. Another boring song. This is a soundtrack. Soundtracks are, again, popular with a group of people on the internet that I don’t understand. This album sounds like (brace yourself) it’s meant to have visual accompaniment. It’s flat, thin, and sounds half baked. There is some instrumental dexterity in there with some decent tones, but the end of the day, we’re reviewing albums here. As an album, this is missing a movie, and having never seen the movie, I was left to imagine what was going on with the Pusherman. At the end of the day, I won’t be seeking it out. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. 1.5-2 HIGHLIGHTS: Junkie Chase

Curtis Mayfield's voice is as smooth as butter. I can't imagine anyone not enjoying this.

Obvious classic, no skips, possibly the greatest soundtrack ever. He didn't have to go this hard but he did. The movie is good but this is better. When I was a kid I used to listen to "Pusherman" and play Narc on PS2 and think "Fuck I can't wait to start smoking weed".

Funky, cinematic, and smooth as hell. The grooves **feel** like they belong in a ‘70s crime flick. Oh, wait... Lush strings, tight percussion, and that voice - sharp, urgent, untouchable. It’s like if Marvin Gaye got fed up and went full activist with a grittier, harder edge. The basslines alone could fuel a revolution. Spins: 3 Playlist Additions: - Pusherman - Freddie's Dead - Junkie Chase - Give Me Your Love - Think - Superfly

Sound of the 70’s. Some good iconic music.

Groundbreakingly funky, good arrangements.

I have never seen the film "Super Fly", but I am familiar with the lead single and "Pusherman" here. These blaxploitation films from the 70's tackled social justice whilst giving us some legendary soul music as a soundtrack (with said soundtracks overshadowing the films most of the time). "Superfly" follows in the same vein and makes for a smooth ride, with instrumentals and chart-topping singles alike.

It was cute. Wouldn't be mad to hear it again.

Not bad, I enjoyed it while it was on, but probably wouldn't relisten.

[9/10] Siri buy Superfly on blu ray, express shipping A masterpiece

Such a cool album. A few songs stick out as great, most just float past pleasantly in the ear.

I'm always surprised whenever I find a soundtrack album on this site - I forget that there are soundtracks that have actually managed to be critically and commercially successful. I'm doubly as surprised to discover that this album is so similar in style and context to Shaft by Isaac Hayes, though I can't complain - Superfly is a fraction of the length Shaft is and about twice as good. It's very pleasing on the whole with an impressive level of audio fidelity and nuance in the instrumental department. My only real gripe is that the songs create a strong first impression, but fail to sustain my interest. I chalk it up to two things. Soundtracks are easier for me to engage with than band music, but it generally helps when I have a familiarity with the source material, as the memories I have of a media property are the main seller in my enjoyment of soundtracks. I also don't think that a lot of these songs go anywhere.

Masterpiece. Compositions, not songs.

i loved the instrumentals and the production

This has everything that I love about soul: incredibly funky, extensive musical arrangements, and Mayfield’s voice is awesome as well. I really appreciate the lyrical content as well. And man I wish Junky Chase went on longer, such a good instrumental.

Banger album. I like this one a lot more than Curtis. 4.5/5

Bro is too smooth with it. Pusherman is such a great song! it flows so naturally and makes me feel like Rick James on a red carpet on cocaine.

I loves me some Curtis Mayfield.

So pumped on it I had to find a peloton class with some Curtis Mayfield.

Cool album, but the falsetto was a bit grating after a while.

The soundtrack is so good it makes me want to watch the film

powerful full feeling melodies. funky rhythms

Some classics and great funk production. Minor gripe that I just don't really love that high falsetto singing, but uhh I was singing along so I'll overlook it.

no skips, i will not be elaborating

"Pusherman" should be sooo cringey but it slaps so hard. All of the instrumentation on this album is fun and groovy and interesting. It feels like listening to a layer cake of different sounds that go together great but are also good for picking apart and listening for little bits at a time. Sonically beautiful! In the list with Tarzan for "soundtracks where a guy really didn't have to go that hard at all but he did and it's excellent"

Turns out that this is a stellar record! Knew the hits, but so much more to discover.

Delicious

Redundant

Alright, this is the second of two Curtis Mayfield albums I've gotten on my journey after There's No Place Like America Today. This one is the soundtrack to the blaxploitation film Super Fly, of which I've heard the title track before but have not seen the movie yet. I'm approaching this release like I did with Issac Hayes's soundtrack for Shaft, in that I am determining if the music can hold on its own without the need for any visual media attached to it. In that regard, does Super Fly's soundtrack stand well? The answer to that question is a resounding yes. Not only is this album instrumentally firing on all cylinders with Curtis's knack for writing progressive funk jams, but lyrically he takes the time to paint the scene for what life was like for black people in 1970s America that sadly still rings true today. Living out in the slums, financially struggling, with little consideration or help from those in political power. It sounds like the kind of environment that preys on innocent souls, and what more potent bait than the allure of drugs - heroin, weed, cocaine. The Pusherman becomes a big player, and Curtis does not romanticize this living. From the death of the lackey dealer on "Freddie's Dead", the twisting nature of greed on "Eddie You Should Know Better", and the desperation for escapism that's found through lust and drugs on "Give Me Your Love (Love Song)" and "No Thing On Me (Cocaine Song)", all culminating in the title track where the titular Super Fly here is someone who looks to be better than the environment he was raised in. Even if I don't know who Eddie and Freddie are or the Super Fly, Curtis portrayed them as archetypes that people can identify and relate to. In that sense, you probably don't need the movie to get the messaging across. All's to say that Super Fly the soundtrack goes incredibly hard, and does not require watching a movie to truly appreciate it.

Peak pimping soul music. The grooves and vocals just mesh so well together. If this wasn’t the soundtrack for an action movie, I would have said it should be. If you like funk and soul, you’ll like this. If you don’t like that type of sound, you may still like this. Choice cut: Pusher Man

Hard to beat.

I don’t really have a cogent review, but this is smooth as hell. Great for Saturday.

Freddy's not dead ;-)Ten stars**********

really good vibe but not the best of its kind

Super cool vibe. Won’t come back but really enjoyed

I've listened before but this is a nice record

Funky which I always like

Much better than I thought it was going to be. There were bits and pieces that have been sampled by later artists and were fun to hear in their original form.

Super smooth tracks with tons of soul, swagger and siky guitar licks. Pusherman and Superfly are the obvious highlights, but the instrumentation is lush throughout. Momentum in the middle of the soundtrack does dip though. Best Tracks: - Pusherman - Superfly - Little Child Runnin Wild Worst Tracks: - Eddie You Should Know Better Rating: 7/10

This album is undoubtedly monumental and highly respected in the realms of funk, soul, and R&B. While it may not align perfectly with my personal taste, it's a must-listen for any music enthusiast.

great album, respect the culture

This was great! Funk and very catchy. Already replayed it!

Great top to bottom

The perfect album to start the week with! smooth funk at its best, and random trivia tidbit that the OST album outperformed the movie it was from. Definitely worth a listen, and even a few more. 4/5

Fantastic, suave and jazzy with some lyrical interest and nice movie tension

Good album 4/5

Would listen again, definition of cool, get up and dance! Favorites: Freddie’s dead, superfly, Pusherman

Now this is an album of its time!! But…it still sounds so cool!

Otrolig artist, själen mår bra av sån här musik. Båten på sommaren och detta album och vi mår. Bara positivitet. Lowkey gamla film vibes också, Austin powers fast svarta, 60 tals klubb/fight musik YEAH BABY type shit.

Classic banger

Smooth skit som smyger sig fram. Känns som Shaft fast på evig solsemester med all inclusive. Som alltid när gitarren säger wakuwakuwau så svarar vi ja. ”Think” kan bota allvarliga sjukdomar. Enda minuset är att det händer för lite.

A funk/soul album that kind of becomes background music after a few songs. This I guess works well since it was created for a film which you wouldn’t want the music to be super overwhelming. Still undecided if I enjoy the singing style or not since having listened to his first album on this list. Overall, its fine. 5/10

Straight up awesome, love everything about this album.

Funky, I like the instrumentation particularly. But this style is so iconic that it almost seems a little campy maybe? Favorite song either “think” or Freddie’s dead. I will probably start using the word “pusherman” involuntarily.

So I was in an Oldsmobile with my friend, a guy you just don't associate with dating and we were with this woman, I don't know who, I couldn't see her face and she kept putting me down, but not in a mean way, bc she was totally into my friend. I would be talking to her and I'd get stuck in these traps. Like old-school Wonder Woman bandage type traps. Idk how I escaped but u did and we were at a restaurant that had live snakes dine with us and I kept looking out to make sure these snakes wouldn't eat my cats. The servers would feed the snakes mice and I was slightly repulsed so I we t outside and was trapped in the ocean.

I probably wouldn’t have listened to Superfly on my own — but I’m really glad I did. This album is really, really good. Curtis Mayfield’s talent as a songwriter and producer in the ’70s is undeniable, and Superfly is proof of just how prolific and ahead of his time he truly was. There isn’t a single bad song on this album. Every track feels intentional, groove-heavy, and filled with purpose. “Freddie’s Dead” is an absolute banger — funky, haunting, and full of social commentary without ever losing its swagger. But the real standout for me was “Think.” It’s so different from anything else I’ve heard from Curtis — atmospheric, intense, and rhythmically gripping. It shows just how much range he had. Superfly isn’t just a soundtrack — it’s a statement. It captures a moment, elevates it, and still sounds fresh and relevant today. Five stars, no hesitation. Favorite song: Think

Very well done. I really like the general feeling of the album, and the lyrics were just very clever.

Very groovy album, really makes you feel a bit like you're watching a movie as you listen along to it, which makes sense with it being a soundtrack album! More than anything though, kind of made me feel like playing Driver: Parallel Lines. Not sure if that's random or not - Pushaman might be on the soundtrack for that, but don't quote me.

It is funky and fun to listen to but deep and layered music and lyrics. I have to watch the movie.

Liking these soul/funk albums. 4/5

Groovy album. Love the style

I like the beat its a very joyful vibe. I like the genre seems very like instrumental but theyres still lyrics. Second song has the same energy as the first. I like how its based off of someone, gives the song background. I recommend this album.

I rate pusher man a 5 star because the beat is nice and the lyrics are nice and the singing is beautiful. I rate Freddys dead a 5 star because the beat is nice and the lyrics are nice and the singing is beautiful. And the setting good. I rate Super fly a 5 star because the beat is nice and the lyrics are nice and the singing is beautiful. And the setting good.

Song: Pusherman i like the beat and stuff but I don ´ t like the lyrics because it says bad words and I don ´ t like bad words Song: Freddie´s dead i like the music not the lyrics because it reminds me of a robbery at the beginning. Song: Super fly i don´t really like this but it has almost the same beat as the others but they have different lyrics

This album is not my favorite because the instruments do not sound that good but they also do not sound that bad. It is also not my genre of music.

I like this song because it has a lot of instruments. I like listening to jazz a lot and playing the instruments took him a while. Again I like all the instruments and his voice is so smooth

Curtis Mayfield played every instrument. I think this album is alright. I like the background music and I think that it's super cool that he played every instrument in the song. I don't really like that you can barely hear the lyrics but other than that the songs aren't bad! I wouldn't recommend it because my friends don't like this type of music.

Do you like listening to upbeat songs? I like this album because it's catchy and has a good beat. I would recommend this album if you like music similar to hip-hop.

Do you want to listen to where one person does almost every instrument? Well in pusher man you can! I rate ⭐⭐⭐ because it could be inappropriate. I don't recommend it. Do you want to listen to some music that has some guitar, electric guitar etc.? Well in Freddie's dead you can! I rate it ⭐⭐⭐⭐. I recommend it. Do you want to listen to music with some bongos? Well in SuperFly you can! I rate it ⭐⭐⭐⭐. I recommend it!

Have you ever wanted to listen to a really catchy kind of jazzy type of song? Then this album is perfect for you. I personally don't really like this song because the lyrics are weird and kind of inappropriate in my opinion. Another reason why I don't really like this song is because I feel like the instruments don't match the tempo that the artist is actually singing at. But overall, I feel like this album is not a bad album but it's not personally really much of my style of music that I enjoy listening to. I probably would not recommend this album to someone because of what the songs are about and what the lyrics to the songs actually say. Another reason why I would not recommend this album to someone else is because I feel like someone my age especially would not like the song. Right now the that are actually trending are not at all like this song, so because of that I feel like I shouldn't recommend this album to someone else because they won't really enjoy actually listening to it very much.

in my opinion I kinda like the song but I kinda don't because the background drums. second one I don't like because of the sound and its just not my type of music. the third one I don't like because of the sound in the back whenever he's singing second I don't like the lyrics .

this album sounds good like a song i would listen too i really like this i could jam to this for a while but i like the funky feel to it

the first song is actually kinda good but the lyrics are weird just a little i like the way his voice sounds when he sings. the second song started off a little bad but i like the background music and the way he sings the lyrics sound normal to me cuz i can't really understand what they say. the last song started off good cuz of the beat or whatever and it's basically the same as the other 2

I kinda like this album because it has a good beat

I think "Pusherman" is okay. I like the music but I don't like the lyrics. "Freddy's Dead" was the same as "Pusherman" for me because the music is cool but the lyrics are bad. "Superfly" is the same as the others, the music is great but not the lyrics. I do not recommend this album.

if you like drugs then this album is for you. I don't really like it because I don't really like his voice, all he sings about is drugs which makes it sound even worse. the background instruments are okay. overall I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

I didn't like this album. I thought "Pusherman" was okay. I like the song itself but I didn't like the lyrics at all. "Freddie's Dead" sounds really weird to me. He is singing about someone dying but sounds really happy which doesn't make sense. "Super Fly" was in between the other two on how much I liked it. It was pretty bad but not the worst. Overall I would give this album 2 stars. I would not recommend this album because the song lyrics are not very good and they sound weird when Curtis Mayfield was happy while singing them.

Butter. So much funk. So sampled.

Close your eyes, and you’re transported to a 70’s love nest. Enjoyed this more than I expected to.

Thats hot shit Warum haben wir in aktuellen Songs keine Bongos/Congas mehr?? Funky gitarren, staccato die bläser und gefühlvoll die vocals. so viel rauszuziehen für mich (zum nachspielen). Streicher layern stark und sorgen für "instrumentalische Tiefe" Hält irgendwie krass die spannung, obwohl nicht immer nur high energy, aber it keeps you on the edge. Sehr Dynamisch. Fav Tracks: Freddies Dead, Pusherman, Least Fav Tracks: Think

Not a massive fan of funk at all, but i can certainly appreciate this album for what it is. rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (76/100)

Very cool, very funky, I like the directness of the messaging. I don't really know anything about the film except that it exists. It's good that the music can standalone. Faves: Pusherman, Freddie's Dead

Dang, this is awesome - really kick ass soul! I think I'd only heard "Pusherman" before, but the whole album is great - I can definitely see why it became so popular! Haven't seen the movie, so can't comment on whether it deserved to be eclipsed by its soundtrack. Fave tracks - "Little Child Runnin' Wild", "Pusherman", "Superfly" but my absolute fave was "Freddie's Dead"

This was great, his voice is amazing, the whole band is amazing. I listened to it twice cause it flew by so fast.

Loved this one. Those horns. Those drums. That little splash of flute. Possibly some harp? There was a lot going on here. All of it absolutely fantastic. Peak 70’s blacksploitation soundtrack right here. Only complaint was I wanted more.

This whole album is fire....'Pusherman', 'Freddie's Dead', and 'Superfly' makes it 5 stars by itself. I noticed 'Think' is used in the beat for 'Nobody's Perfect' by Missy Elliot and J. Cole. Always fun to track one of those down in the wild.

Great 4.1

Have grown to really appreciate Curtis Mayfield. Love this.

Incredible album of jazz and funk infused soul. I mean, it has both Pusherman and Superfly! Two stone cold classics. And the rest of the tracks are equally great. I’ve been listening on constant rotation for the last few days. It’s such a rich album full of funk and beauty. Do yourself a favour and listen to ”Makings of you” from the Curtis! Live album from 1971. One of recording history’s finest moments.

incredible soul that mixes a bit with jazz and rock. bangers

Certified funky fresh.

pretty dope funk/soul

That's not my taste in music

Groovy start to finish. I have no knowledge of the film, but from the songs alone you can paint a picture. Really enjoyable.

Class, easy listening.

Funky Big Band Sounds aus den ersten 70ern. Leider ohne Highlight oder Aha Effekt. Es ist keine akustische Folter aber auch kein wirklicher Genuss.

Funkayyyy

Solid. Its no What's Goin On but funky.

Superfly manages to be super smooth but also deep and gritty at the same time, the result of some brilliant musicianship and great writing of themes that smack you in the face, whether you've lived them or not. Even the instrumentals are quality in that they're not filler, they add something to the record and are a part of the journey. It's a high high 4, was tempted to give it a 5 but the falsetto grates just too much, but it's excellent.

This was super, enjoyed this a lot. Great funk base to a lot of it, he has a great voice that adds plenty of soul, and this album tells some really good stories. Definitely will be revisiting this, an easy 4/5.

Enjoyed listening to this. Don't mind a bit of 70's funky soul, and this is definitely that. Liked it

Really enjoyable listen. Must be one of my favourite albums I’d never heard discovered so far on this list.

I used to love those 1970's Blaxploitation films when there was nothing else to watch back in the days of 3 or 4 channels on TV. The soundtracks were always good and this one, Like 'Shaft' were the most famous. When a funky soul is done well, it should sound like this.

So much better then the last Mayfield item on this list! Only my second experience with him but this was a fun time, as I said in my previous review of his work, he's got such a fantastic voice and the instrumentals on this one shine so much more. Solid 4.5 but I'll give it five stars for the sake of how much I was surprised by my enjoyment of this!

Listened to on 1/21/25, this was a decent album in all honesty. The music was very soft and jazzy (obviously) which was pretty nice but some of the songs were definitely more boring than others. "Superfly" and "Freddie's Dead" were two standouts, they were unique and fun. The instrumentals were ok. Maybe today, I just was not feeling the soul music but regardless, a good album. I would rate it 4/5.

One of the all time great soul albums. Nothing more to say about this one.

Funky tunes.

Funkiest album ever, just bop after bop

it’s superfly!

Two words...Supa Fly.

OVERALL: Extremely fly. This funk, jazz, and soul album has probably gotten me into the genres as a whole. Little Child Runnin', Eddie You Should Know Better, Think, and Freddie's Dead are absolute masterpieces, and the jazz elements, especially in Superfly, are incredible and extremely well utilized. I guess I don't like Pusherman or Give Me Your love that much, but they aren't that bad. Also, this feels a lot longer than just 9 songs. SONG AVG: 8.83/10 PERSONAL RATING: 9.55/10 Little Child Runnin' Wild: Fantastic, so unbelievably funky. I have never heard a song by this man before, and I am very impressed. He used every single instrument that he could, and he did it so incredibly well. Also, that saxophone is NNN ending. 10/10 Pusherman: I really like this, it sounds exactly like how I imagine a drug dealer's theme song would sound like, but why do the percussion instruments sound like that? I don't hate it, but it is a bit weird when paired with the melodic stuff. Speaking of which, the instruments (not percussion) sound more boring, but they are still very well performed. This is the song that made me realize that this album was for a movie. 6.5/10 Freddie's Dead: The intro was a bit boring, but it got so much better. The bassline is great, and Curtis Mayfield continues to use his massive array of instruments to their full capability. The only things I don't like about it are the intro and outro for being boring, but the rest of the song is fantastic. 9.5/10 Junkie Chase: The weird ass percussion is back at around 0:15, but it actually works really well this time. It sounds like a Cowboy Bebop chase. The instruments are, once again, played incredibly, and the drummer goes insane. The only problem is the length and the weird ass percussion. 8.75/10 Give Me Your Love: Was this played during a sex scene? It kinda sounds like it was, and I refuse to elaborate. As per usual, the entirety of the instruments are done very well, especially those strings, but I feel like this song drags on a bit. Also, Curtis Mayfield sounds out of place due to the general lack of vocals. 7/10 Eddie You Should Know Better: I need more of this. I cannot name a single thing wrong with this, and I really tried. It sounds great, it's lyrically great, and its absolutely incredible. There just is no producer tag (we depressed music) 11/10 No Thing on Me: Sung beautifully and sounds pretty good, but it does the fade out outro :(. The speaking in the intro brings this song down, and the song kinda drags on. With that being said, this is one of, if not the best instrumental in this album. 8.75/10 Think: The oboe and the French horn have the best dialogue in this whole album. It's so beautiful, I can't put it into words. Listen to this right now. I guess it's not lyrically impressive, probably because it doesn't have any lyrics. 9.5/10 Superfly: This is more what I was expecting from a movie soundtrack. Such a mood switch between this and think. Incredibly funky, and it is definitively fly. I guess as an album outro, it works, but it just so happened to be right after Think. 8.5/10

Nice easy listening and background music. May be better on repeat listenings and more active listening. 3.5

Not my style but I enjoy it a lot.

This album was very chill, but not something I would listen to often. Too much falsetto turns me off as well.

Not really to my liking. I guess some of the instrumentals were okay.

Album 654 of 1001 Curtis Mayfield - Superfly (1972) Rating : 4 / 5 Awesome mix of soul, funk, and psychedelic sounds. Arrangements are great. Innovative sound and impactful lyrics. If I want some funky soul, this is likely the one I'll go to.

Extremely cool album.

einmal im hintergrund mitgehört. sound gefälllt mir gut, mir ist jedoch kein highlight aufgefallen.

Erster Ton: oh je, Soul. Aber dann tönt es besser als erwartet.

Never listened to Mayfield until now. This blew me away. Think, superfly, pusherman. Vocals, sax, guitar, arrangements. Loved it.

When I graduated college I moved into a place with my cousin and some friends. We all had similar musical tastes and at some point we went into a collective manic obsession with 70’s R&B and Soul and Curtis Mayfield was our North Star. We were constantly exchanging songs and the closer we could get to Mayfield, the better. We had a gigantic Superfly poster on the wall, which we didn’t contemplate the optics of (4 white guys with a blaxploitation movie poster) I still don’t think I know if that’s cool? Looking back I’m not sure exactly how we all landed at the same conclusion at the same time: Curtis Mayfield rules and was cool as hell. This time through I’m really astounded with how great this album is. There really isn’t a bad moment. This time through Little Child Running Wild and the instrumentals stood out. I also hadn't contemplated how seriously he took this, but in many ways its a lot like What's Going On. Mayfields concept album (concept album boys stand up!) I just learned Mayfield wrote the music largely as a critique to the film (glorifying drug use and culture). I'm less interested in that and more so just appreciative of how great his songs and this album sounds. It starts with the grooves (Pusherman for example) but it goes beyond that to consistently engaging songs and moments that are incredibly "cool". Curtis was a wise choice for a movie called "Super Fly". One of my favorite Impressions songs is "It's Alright" and I wouldn't say that's cool, but it does make you feel good and has a great groove. Quick retraction on RHCP: I said I don't like music that makes me feel sad, which is too broad. I just don't like RHCP and trying to understand why.

This a completely foundational album for me, so I’m incapable of analyzing it or being critical. Have a distinct memory of being like 16, blasting this album while driving around the lily white suburbs, filled with desire to go out into the world of danger and desperation he’s describing. It’s absurd I guess, in 2025, for a suburban whjte Dad to feel such strong nostalgia for an album that was already 25 years old when I first heard it - an album dealing with a world I had absolutely no understanding of and couldn’t relate to at all.( Thinking now - I wonder if this album was playing in my subconscious when I decided, for reasons I still don’t understand, to be a social worker in the bronx for like 5 years. What a strange move, Frank) Maybe it’s resonance speaks to the universality of the themes, the perfection and creativity of the music, the storytelling that neither romanticizes, wallows in, or glorifies the issues it explores. I don’t know. In any event I’ve been blasting this for like 3 days now. Kinda wanna quit my corporate cushy job and jump back into the fire w my old friends Freddie, Eddie and Superfly. This is one of my favorite albums of all time. Blows my mind now just like it did when I was 16.

There is some gold here. I liked a review of this album that basically sells Superfly as “chill funk”. Pusherman and Superfly are obvious standouts. Give Me Your Love and No Thing On Me were my favorite deeper cuts. Some research to do: * actually watch the film * find the weird drums that were used that had some kind of pitch shift device on it (very eastern sounding)

I’ve never seen Superfly, but fun to hear the story throughout the soundtrack. I might like this a bit more than the Marvin we’ve gotten. Loved Pusherman, Superfly, and Think. Might enjoy this more once I’ve seen the movie.

First listen. Almost perfect!

i was already familiar with superfly but yeah its masterful both in its lyrics and its SHEER GROOVE POWER

This is extremely groovy.

Curtis Mayfield has a voice smooth as liquid butter, and I would happily listen to him sing pretty much whenever, but I'm constantly listening to this wondering if one of his studio albums could be been here instead - movie soundtracks are by definition missing something, and tend to be disjointed as they have to follow the film - so is it an album you "must listen to"? I'm not so sure.

maybe the haziest, most impressionist effect that has ever been achieved by a record where thats not an obviously accurate description of the sound itself...everything is in clear space and precisely chosen and presented in perfect clarity, but it still feels like a dream somehow...maybe one u are currently having rather then one u are remembering in daylight. idek what else to say other then its cool im on a lil streak of records i havent heard in a long time but were overdue for a revisit :))) curtis has to be one of the goats

Loved cocaine song; super funky album, great singing, some songs were ok, the album gets a little repetitive toward the middle but there’s great highlights. Think is amazing, the instruments are simply beautiful. Really groovy and soulful album; superfly is a good song as well. On my initial listen: 7/10 or 3.5/5.

Never heard of this movie before but thought the music was cool for the most part. Fun (wooden sounding?) instruments. Chill vibes. Vocals a bit breathy/high at times but liked it overall.

i was raised on this type of music so i’m a bit biased but i enjoyed this!! curtis is a cool man and i like how chill it was to have as background music while we played stardew valley

i liked it i think curtis mayfield sounds like a cool guy the music just didn't stick with me

This grew and grew on me. The title song absolutely slaps, Pusherman is a classic, but couldn’t say where I’d heard it before (probably everywhere). I feel cooler for listening to this album. This could make 5 stars with further listens, and further listens it will get 4/5

What a fantastic soul/funk album. Smooth 70s funk, loved it

4 groovy

did not expect that I would ever give a movie soundtrack a 5 star rating but there it is

Bongos, Bass, and Beats - Superfly is a fun funk/soul soundtrack. The namesake single, Pusherman, and Freddie’s Dead are standouts for me.

Soul/funk/disco - not my thing.

Just can't bring myself to like this

That fly, fo'sure, was super. Nah, for real, it was a funky enough time, honestly.

Great but a bit odd for first thing in the morning. Definitely had me brushing my teeth with a bit more flavor.

Not my fav. A few good songs.

Very cool, plenty of funk and soul.

it's nice with it, what more can you say
