Curtis Mayfield was one of the few artists who could perfectly combine soul and funk into one song, and he did not do it any more perfect than in "Superfly." Although one of the few exceptions on the playlist that does not portray love and/or having fun and dancing, the funky bassline and his romantic-sounding voice still made it a hit in the clubs and on the charts. The bassline was so innovative that it has been sampled by such hip hop artists as Nelly and Notorious B.I.G., as well as influencing countless disco songs of the early 80s.
