Superfly 45

On this weeks Science of Soul we celebrate the 45th anniversary of the release of the "Superfly" soundtrack by Curtis Mayfield. The soundtrack came out a month ahead of the movie and set the wheels in motion for what was to be one of the most successful movies of it's type. Superfly was so much more than a Blackexploitation film it was a glimpse into the life of America's sprawling inner cities and Curtis captured the mood perfectly and the soundtrack was arguably far more important than the movie itself.

45 years later this soundtrack is still relevant and as yet to be surpassed in my opinion. Also check out the video at the bottom of this page. Representing the new music this week is the lovely Ms Dee Robinson and a new single "Us" from her upcoming album , The Group Black Diamonds are new to me but they are sounding pretty good on there current single "Rescue You" we also dip into the current albums from Jay King "Helen's Son" and the amazing Ms Leela James who's latest album "Did It For Love" is pretty special. There's also plenty for the old school lovers some tracks you just might have forgotten so sit back and enjoy. Remember to share with a friend.
