Curtis Mayfield ~ Freddies Dead

LovelyOnyx Says:

Sep 19, 2008 - This cut...Freddie's Dead...is from the soundtrack of the movie, Superfly. "Freddie" is the character in the film who was a small time (weak-minded)hustler for drug dealer, "Priest"....played by Ron O'Neal. Again, Mayfield delivers a smooth rich melody that sends a powerful message. Mayfield will never be forgotten. His genius lives on through his fans...whivh I am a BIG one!

Oct 15, 2008 - i guess its my age, but this story of a dead junkie still has more power to than any of the gangster rapper i have heard rapping/singing about their dead friends and family "in the life."

Oct 19, 2008 - Curtis Mayfield was preaching in his music of the woes and dire deeds of the drugs and such back in the early 70's and nobody listened and took root to keep things straight. Well his song lives on and maybe people will heed what he said about Fred. nuff said

siasti Says:

Nov 6, 2008 - Superfly is one of the few cases where the soundtrack of the film outsold the film itself...
