Curtis Mayfield ~ Freddie's Dead 1972 Funky Purrfection Version

[@joeearley3351]

I haven't heard this in 50+ years. But it popped up in my head when in was playing some old cassettes i recorded from the 70s but this wasn't one of them. Absolutely a classic. I just had to play it immediately.

I was 4-years-old and I remember this as though it was yesterday! MASTERPIECE Rest In Heaven (RIH) Legend Curtis Mayfield

[@Immaculate561]

I'm a late 80s baby and y'all were definitely born in the prime of some classics in the making, so great it had to be sampled, Respect 😎🎵

[@kevindecker9444]

I was 13 years old when this was released. I remember this song well.

[@carolynntubman3889]

Such a classic from such a fantastically talented man. Thanks

~ R.I.P. Curtis Mayfield, and love to him, the Impressions, and the Curtom label. Thank you for this fine 1972 showcase, still fresh in 2018. See also "(Don't Worry) If There's A Hell Below...," and "Jump" as performed by R.I.P. Aretha Franklin. Cheers, DAVEDJ ~

[@darrenjames7901]

Best era in music History!

[@danteanton2506]

oh yeah ... 100% funky purrfection !

[@MarkeyMo]

I truly love this stuff! I've always enjoyed remixes but, too many change the feel & flavor of the song. You are doing amazing work keeping the original feel of this music and yet making it fresh again. Keep up the great work! It's absolutely some of the best I've found.

[@UbuPere]

Purrfection!!! Luv it!°

[@neldagarcia4042]

This classic is featured in the 2021 movie Copshop with Gerard Butler. Great movie and song.

[@shirleybutler2623]

OMG Nelda You just hit a homrun with those comments 4SURE!!! Conshop that movie was str8 FIRE INDEED 🔥!!! I LOVED IT!!!!!

[@elitheothercomputerguy5436]

I've found your stuff about a month ago and I've loved all that I've heard. All of your cuts are all amazingly edited and still have the same feel as the original, the audio quality itself is great, and the detailed history description is nice, and it really shows that you really put love and care into this. Through your stuff I have gotten an interest in disco and funk and is now planning to get some of these artist's albums. Just keep on doing what you're doing. :)

[@craigbeasley1]

Oh wow! There you are. Never had "enough" to make you and I all the shit!

[@alanfox4172]

I just like to reply to your comments I always love twelve inch vinyl singles and even when the majority of vinyl stopped being pressed after 1993. Some vinyl twelve inch singles were being pressed for the nightclubs especially the dance music sound for the nightclubs slowly but surely vinyl making a comeback being digitally remastered and digitalized for a modern generation

[@SimoneTaylorLoosh]

I concur wholeheartedly with the sentiments of Eli. I am a year younger than yourself DJ DiscoCat and got heavily involved with soul, disco and a few years later on jazz-funk/fusion music in the mid-70s as a 13-year-old kid. I have carried on collecting since then and as well as loving my old stuff keep up with new releases as well (have a radio show called 'Reference Point' on TWR Radio here in London once a month) and still play out from time to time. I like the reworkings you do on the tracks the most personally from all the various remixers around, keeping the feel of the OGs, yet adding extra dimensions to the classic soul, disco, jazz, rock & pop hits. I have a growing list in my head of stuff I'd love to see you work on, some of them are rare but could make available to you to use if needed! Keep up the great and wonderful work you are doing, and if interested in stuff (have 5,000 records) from around the world hit me up on my Facebook page....Mark GV Taylor - Reference Point

[@glemnrobinson884]

now when i listen to this song, i can't help but think of Baltimore's FREDDIE GRAY who caused the infamous riot. RIP FREDDIE gray

[@sandradeelawson.9655]

DJDiscoXatV2? I've never saw the movie because I was too young back, I did love the music though.

[@sandradeelawson.9655]

Hi DJDiscoCatV2! Everytime I would listen to Curtis Mayfield, I was feeling like I'm in a time Machine wearing afro-wig and short shorts and mini skirt like Mini Skirt Minnie. Lol! Hahahahahahahahahahahs Ay But I was still too young wearing all of that, my mother would probably skin me alive for that. Lol!

[@carbonsteelbladetheorigina7993]

Goddamn! That's smokin!!

[@Professorkenneth]

👍🏻💯

[@saino2001]

So why wasn't this song actually in the movie ("Superfly")? I mean, it's an excellent tune! You'd have thought they could have included it somehow.

[@shahnawazkhan1991]
