Superfly was tha shit back in the day,Curtis Mayfield was one of the great classic soul guitarists of his era in 60's & 70's every thing he did w/Impressions & solo career was Marvalous indeed.

he was paralyzed from that accident in '90 but lived for another 9 years, died in georgia. (looked it up on wiki)

I believe he died in Brooklyn when a bank of stage lights fell on him. Must be 15 years ago by now... going from memory (and therefore might be inaccurate!)

i remember this episode of flip wilsons show. it was great. I have this album it was great then and now. Curtis Mayfield was great and he will be missed but at least we have his music.

In Feb '98 Curtis had to have his right leg amputated due to diabetes. It is said that he sadly died a year later (Dec 26, 1999) due to complications of diabetes. Let us remember the legacy that his music has left, a truly talented musical genius. Rest in peace, Curtis.

Good Question. Both where good but I would have to go with Superfly, because what made "Shaft" dope was that it had unorthodox track lengths,instrumentals,and loaded with interludes, it was more orchestrated. Superfly was way shorter but personafied the songs better,Shaft felt like the background music in a movie while SuperFly sounded like the script...Just my opinion, SuperFly is better, a better movie too I love Isaac Hayes though, takin my babies (9,6,3,6months) to Stax next month. I RAP?
