I was a little girl when this song came out. I didn't understand it. My aunt Maxine played it on a 45 day and night. God has been so good. Great memories ❤
The words remain the same today 40 years later. This is the vision i want to remember this brother by, not the wheelchair scene that i remember all too well .
I was 10 when this song hit the charts and the movie was released. I lived in the hood in Norfolk Virginia at the time. There was this cat who lived in the area who was a Youngblood Priest wanna be. He cruised the streets in a 72 El Dorado that was EVEN MORE pimped out than the car in the movie; i.e. his had a lit hood ornament LOL.
My era of time. Gangster white walls on my man's Eldorado. Yeah man! 😅 We rest and dressed, bought gasoline and leaned. Ha!! Just kidding. I had a flash back in time. The 70's were the lick! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰
The Vietnam war kept a lot of black men in college. Super Fly came out,some black men wanted to be like the movie character. Set black men back, in my opinion. Vietnam kept me in college. I couldn’t go to Canada.
I’m in my mid 60’s on UA-cam every day and I’m just barely seeing this upload of The late great Curtis Mayfield. RIP
He was a very talented singer, along with Marvin may they both continue to rest in eternal peace. 🙏🙏

His pivotal composition! Love It!
Amazing music. So under appreciated by today’s generation.
Oh so true 👍👍👍👍👍
I appreciate it sir as I had older parents and much older siblings so that’s where I get my influences. I don’t care for music made after like 2005.
True legend
A musical genius who effectively communicated the plight of ghetto life !!!###
Curtis made a fortune off this soundtrack...ONE of the music business most successful.
