Recorded live at the famous Abbey Road Studios by Andy & The Big Funk
is a version of Curtis Mayfield's funk classic "Superfly" for the soundtrack of the 1972 Blaxploitation movie which was remade
in 2018.
The track is from a nine track album of covers "Funksploitation" which doesn't appear on the main DSPs but is available from
ProStudioMasters. Most are taken from movie soundtracks with "Superfly", "Across 110th Street" (Bobby
Womack), "Bourgie Bourgie" (Gladys Knight & The Pips), and "Empire
State Of Mind" (Alicia Keys) possibly being being the ones of most interest to soul listeners.
To do the full album justice, we've included the full live performance of
it from YouTube below where Andy explains his choices in between songs. NB Superfly is @24:30.
Andy Wood Mitchell began his career as a trainee engineer at
Abbey Road Studios so comes full circle. He has been fronting bands from
the age of 12 and formed several bands including the comically named Below
Average White Band.
He was bought up on feature film music influenced by his father who was
MD of Elstree Film Studios.
