Superfly (soundtrack)
''Superfly'' is the third studio album by American soul and funk musician Curtis Mayfield, released in July 1972 on Curtom Records. It was released as the soundtrack for the Blaxploitation film of the same name. Widely considered a classic of 1970s soul and funk music, ''Super Fly'' was a nearly immediate hit. Its sales were bolstered by two million-selling singles, "Freddie's Dead" (#2 R&B, #4 Pop) and the title track (#5 R&B, #8 Pop). ''Super Fly'' is one of the few soundtracks to out-gross the film it accompanied.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1590123/most-memorable-soundtrack-songs-that-name-check-their-movies.jhtml )〕
''Superfly'', along with Marvin Gaye's ''What's Going On'', was one of the pioneering soul concept albums, with its then-unique socially aware lyrics about poverty and drug abuse making the album stand out.〔Boraman, Greg.

Retrieved on 2014-05-08.〕 The film and the soundtrack may be perceived as dissonant, since the ''Super Fly'' film holds rather ambiguous views on drug dealers, whereas Curtis Mayfield's position is far more critical. Like ''What's Going On'', the album was a surprise hit that record executives felt had little chance at significant sales. Due to its success, Mayfield was tapped for several film soundtracks over the course of the decade.
