Freddie’s Dead is a smooth-funk masterpiece (listen here) by Curtis Mayfield and the first single from his 1972 soundtrack album for the film Super Fly. Certified RIAA Gold on 10/31/72, it peaked at #4 on the Billboard Pop Charts and #2 on the R&B charts. Here it’s honored with an Authentic, First Presentation, First-State RIAA White Matte (the RIAA format from 1964 – 1975).
For sixty years the best in music has been honored with gold and platinum awards. Collectors have enjoyed their visible connection to the music, the artists, and the people who've given us the soundtracks of our life.

Welcome,
Jim Greenwood
