Tuesday Tunes with the Pig Roaster

(Yes, the Roaster is aware that today is actually Wednesday. Yesterday was so crazy, and so long - the Roaster didn't go home until after 10pm - that it all feels like one long day, so cut me a little slack!)

Today we go back to 70's cool - to the Soundtrack that set the tone for all other 70's soundtracks, especially those in the realm of the great "Blaxploitation" films such as Shaft, Black Caesar and Blacula. They all had great music that was as integral to the films as the scenes themselves, but none stood higher than Superfly. The music put forth by that genius, Curtis Mayfield, to accompany that film is superb by any measure. I would highly recommend everyone grab themselves a copy of the 25th Anniversary Remastered 2-Disc Edition of the soundtrack.



Don your polyester (no, really... don't), grab a stiff drink and a stiffer smoke, relax and revel in the smooth falsetto voice and whacked out guitar of one of the true masters.
