Very underrated artist, I think a lot of folks (novice music fans) get the idea that 70's soul\funk was essentially disco music.

Mayfield's first two early 70's albums "Curtis" and "Roots" remain to this day two of my favorites of the era outside the mega bands like Zeppelin and the Who.

Roots is especially good "Get Down" gets a lot of love, but it's the so-called filler tracks that separate that album from all of the post Super-Fly stuff.

I didn't know anything about Curtis Mayfield aside from his name until I watched Superfly for the first time a couple weeks ago. Holy crap is that soundtrack good! Definitely on my list of albums to buy.

Freddy's Dead is my favorite.

I'ma bit ashamed to admit I've only heard his first three albums, but they're all incredible.

I like him. He has an unmistakable sounding voice. I particularly like his funk stuff... freddie's dead, the pusher, superfly. A true brother of soul.

I've been trying to buy Superfly for the longest time now. Need to grab that ****.
