This song is sooo good, the vibe is something else.

Not only was Curtis Mayfield a musical genius and social commentator but he also surrounded himself with exceptional musicians! Exquisite 🤩🤩🤩

This man's influence cannot be overstated. He and Isaac Hayes laid out the blueprint for the TV themes that followed in the 70's

By 1972, Curtis Mayfield had already established himself in music as both a creative force and a voice of the people. The Superfly soundtrack was the pinnacle of his creativity. In fact, when you think of Superfly, you can't help but hear the funk of "Pusherman" or the other songs in your head. Eternal props to the great Curtis Mayfield and the brilliant musicians on this timeless classic!

Curtis Mayfield was so ahead of his time that we still haven't caught up. He left us way too soon, so heartbreaking.

A older cat I worked with turned me on to Curtis Mayfield, he was one of his favorite and now he is one of mine thank you Mr,

[sunniqueen]

That guitar riff just FILTHY with it!!!! 🔥

[adizmal]

The single guitar chord strums on the verses, specifically... absolutely unreal dynamics in this song, so understated. Like dude trying to strum so quiet, almost muted at times, yet they still ring out thin and sparse as they are. Love this song's arrangement so much.

[CutterElfquest]

Percussion and vocals will be slick for the ages.

RIP Curtis Mayfield (June 3, 1942 – December 26, 1999), aged 57
You will be remembered as a legend.

[yvettejones]

His music, the instrumentals and beats were just addictive.

[donnalynn]

My bigger sister played this album religiously, I loved it and still do, Soul of R&B, One of the BEST!

[EddieRobinson-bw]

Dude on percussion is in the zone.... taking it back to our ancestors and delivering the word

[glyndavies]

Maybe the greatest guitar chord in the history of soul music.

[PedroGarcia-xqun]

Curtis Mayfield, Issac Hayes, and James Brown are best in the 70s music scores.

[bladetrade]

The lead & bass lines are jammin'...
