5. Superfly – At around the same time Marvin Gaye was soundtracking Trouble Man, his contemporary Curtis Mayfield was drafted in for the movie Superfly. The resulting record of the same name was recently voted the 69th best album of all time by Rolling Stone magazine and is one of the rare examples of a soundtrack that out-grosses the movie that spawned it. Whereas the film is widely regarded as quite a naïve look at life in the gangster underworld, Mayfield’s vision was far more gritty and real.
