In 1971, Marvin Gaye famously questioned the state of his community, and the following year, Curtis Mayfield gave him the answer with Super Fly. Onscreen, Mayfield’s songs comment on the action, capturing both the cool of a drug dealer’s life, and the real human cost of the products he sells. On record, Super Fly is an almost overwhelming listening experience, with lush strings and vibrant percussion defining funk at its most sophisticated.
