AMG Review of Superfly [Dressed to Kill]

Steve Leggett
All Music Guide

There are scores of Curtis Mayfield collections on the market and most of them have a mixture of the same tracks, which means none of them is patently bad since Mayfield was uniformly excellent throughout his career both as a solo recording artist and as a member of the Impressions. This set has the usual tracks, which include the big soundtrack hits "Superfly" and "Freddie's Dead," and the gorgeous "So in Love." It's a nice sequence, but there are a dozen just like it out there on the market.
