Superfly - Curtis Mayfield
I first got turned on to Curtis Mayfield while working at Bazbeaux. We had this compilation cd that we'd play for house music. Initially, I ignored the cd, but it eventually got into my subconsious. The track on that cd was "Freddie's Dead", but the base line in Superfly is one of the funkiest written in the '70's. This live cut is a good demo of the performing talents of Mr. Curtis Mayfield.
The song Superfly comes from the soundtrack to the 1972 film of the same name. Curtis had a real gift for storytelling in his lyrics. He could celebrate black culture without glorifying the negatives of ghetto life in the mid 20th century.
Plus, his voice is just beautiful.
