Curtis Mayfield’s Super Fly soundtrack actually outperformed the film itself in popularity and cultural impact. Released in 1972, the Super Fly album became one of the few soundtracks to earn more money than the movie it accompanied. #soundtracksoflife #soundtracksonvinyl #vinyloftheday #vinyllover #detroitmusiccenter | Detroit Music Center

53 years ago TODAY, Curtis Mayfield turned a movie into a movement when his “Super Fly” soundtrack album hit number one on the Billboard 200 in 1972! The film was a breakout of the blaxploitation era, and Mayfield’s songs (“Pusherman,” “Freddie’s Dead,” “Superfly”) pushed the story’s grit and morality into the mainstream. The namesake single, “Superfly,” climbed to number eight on the Hot 100 and became one of Mayfield’s signature songs. #nostalgia #musichistory #70s #70smusic #70sthrowback | Cl
