Mr. Sanford Presents: Curtis Mayfield's Superfly Appreciation

I bought this on Vinyl about a month ago..saw it for $16 I couldn't pass on it

Mane i love this album, Curtis subject matter still relevant to this day
He may not have been the greatest vocalist but his songwriting/producing ability is only matched by few

Love that song. One of my favorites.

"Pardon me, brother, while you stand in your glory
I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story"

^such uplifting lyrics on that track, that song is all about unity, every shade of BLACK folk together as one people

"This ain't no time for segregatin'
I'm talking 'bout brown and yellow too
High yellow girl, can't you tell
You're just the surface of our dark deep well
If your mind could really see
You'd know you're colored the same as me"

i been listening to "Diamond In The Back" for years thinking that was Curtis then i read on the

heard he recorded the vocals for that album in the hosptial bed
Organized Noise had a beat on "New World Order" too
i think they even recorded Goodie Mob first album Soul Food in Curtis house

Yeah i read somewhere he recorded his entire last album in bed and only could record a line or 2 @ the most before losing his breath
