CURTIS MAYFIELD - Freddie's Dead

Freddie's Dead was the first single from Curtis Mayfield's spectacular soundtrack to the movie Super Fly. The song was released in 1972, just before the movie was released. Only the instrumental version is used in the movie, and it appears several times throughout the movie. In 1972, Freddie's Dead was nominated for a Grammy, but lost to The Temptation's hit Papa Was A Rolling Stone.
