Description: "Super Freak" was recorded with other tracks for the Street Songs album during December 1980 – January 1981 at the Record Plant, in Sausalito, California and Motown / Hitsville U.S.A. Recording Studios, Hollywood, California. It features background vocals from James' Motown labelmates the Temptations—whose bass singer, Melvin Franklin, was one of James's idols—and Canadian singer Taborah Johnson. The bass was played by Oscar Alston. The tenor saxophone solo is by Stone City Band member Daniel LeMelle. James' improvised lyrics were later toned down by Los Angeles DJ Alonzo Miller, who received co-writing credit. James was not excited about the song, but reputedly wanted to have something for white folks to dance to.
Description: **Above the Concrete — Soul in the City** is a tribute-inspired visual built around the spirit of Curtis Mayfield: sophisticated soul, street consciousness, ambition, and the search for something brighter beyond the concrete. A 1970s-inspired urban landscape rises into psychedelic geometry, vinyl-inspired sun rays, and organic forms breaking through the pavement. The result is a polished vintage soul graphic with the energy of classic Chicago music posters and the optimism of a generation determined to move forward. Made for Curtis Mayfield fans, soul and funk collectors, vinyl lovers, and anyone who believes great music can turn struggle into motion.
Description: Celebrate the king of funk with this nostalgic Rick James tribute, featuring a distressed retro aesthetic that radiates vintage soul. The image blends a monochrome portrait of Rick James with a bold circular background of faded teal, mustard yellow, and cream rings. The funky script of "Rick James" in groovy orange and beige hues pops with a weathered texture, capturing the essence of 70s and 80s funk culture. A must-have for fans of iconic funk legends and retro music style.
Description: Edward J. Funk & Sons, founded in 1936 in Kentland, Indiana, became a trailblazer in the hybrid seed industry with the launch of Super Crost hybrid corn—a product known for its high yield, disease resistance, and crop uniformity. The company expanded into a full range of seeds and remained influential until selling to Garst Seed Company in 1990. Though operations ceased, the Super Crost legacy lives on across rural America through its iconic signage and agricultural impact.
