Super Fly is Curtis Mayfield's iconic 1972 soundtrack to the groundbreaking film of the same name, released by Curtom. A cornerstone of soul and funk, the album is lauded for Mayfield's gentle yet powerful vocals and his ability to weave socially conscious lyrics into lush, sophisticated grooves. Its blend of spirited instrumental work with pointed messages made it one of Mayfield’s most acclaimed and influential releases.
Beyond its role as a film soundtrack, Super Fly stands as a soul and R&B masterpiece thanks to its seamless balance of message and music. Recorded at RCA Studios in Chicago—with “Pusherman” captured at Bell Sound Studios in New York—each of its nine tracks showcases Mayfield's gift for combining thought-provoking themes with irresistible rhythms, earning its place as an essential listen for any fan of the genre.
