SUPERDUDES - SUPER BAD! 2LP 73


I was soooo happy to find this last week on lunchbreak at Good Will that I had to rip right away!  Another of those 'record label parody' compilations with others by:  The Young Lovers, Tribes and Candy Rock Generation that I have posted already.  Here is what it said:  SHAFT, SLAUGHTER, TROUBLE MAN, Black, Bad, Beautiful.  Sockin' it to the man, on the streets, in the air, on the move, in the bed.  These film dudes are using their fists, their heads, their guns in the funkiest revolution movie houses of America have ever seen.  Street styles in music and meaning started with the film 'Up Tight', a remake with soul of the early movie classic 'The Informer'.  Booker T And The MGs took 'Time Is Tight' and made it a hit.  But the first really big breakthrough in black films came with 'Shaft'.  Richard Roundtree was made for the part, and Gordon Parks' stylish direction, plus the dynamite score from Isaac Hayes made this a blockbuster at the box office.  This blew the scene, and the Superdudes took over.  Ex-fullback for the Cleveland Browns--Jim Brown now turned movie star made 'Slaughter'.  Billy Preston socked it to us with his score on this heavy.  Funky.  The bad brothers kept coming, Robert Hooks took leave of Broadway, took the lead in 'Trouble Man'.  His super talent teamed up with the Marvin Gaye score, and scored big.  The Superdude in black leather blasted his way back in 'Shaft's Big Score!'  This time round Gordon Parks did the triple threat, directing the film, composing the music, writing the lyrics.  Gordon Parks Jr. came on heavy with his own direction of Superfly.  Curtis Mayfield wrote and performed the original soundtrack of this superfilm.  'Superfly' and 'Freddie's Dead' blasted to the top of the charts.  Our gang of musicians dig the action, the style, the funk of the new black films.  Dig the way 'The Superdudes' take the heavy hits of these cats and lay it on you.  Superfunky.  The music of Mother Africa came back to the ghetto in 'Soul Makossa', and this funky new direction from Ghana gave Soul new musical meaning.  The charts made way for 'Are You Man Enough' from 'Shaft In Africa'.  The funkiest of all--Superfly--came back in a dynamite film 'Superfly T.N.T.'.  The Soul explosion is here brother!  Get it on.  Copycat bands.
