[@jaimiegordon2065]

Pure genius. He deserves a fucking star in heaven

[@natashaduncan2112]

I know God led me to this GEM..My heart was soooo heavy this morning but this was just a little reminder never get tired of doing good no matter how some perceive ot as being a weakness..KEEP ON KEEPING ON!!!🙏🙏

[@robgoose]

I just had such a difficult conversation with a friend and she needed some uplifting in her heart. This phrase came to kind and it led me right to this song and performance. Thank you, Curtis Mayfield. I hope my friend feels it.

@@prezadent1different language within the same language… whatever works to get you there.. I try to look past words… see the beauty in all expressions that have beauty to be shared… turn from the negative with a positive charge ☄️

[@Ryfrye]

5 years later and I feel the same way this morning. Bless you.

[@musicetc2063]

Thank you :,))

[@TGTree]

Keep on keeping on, yes, an uplifting soul

[@MegaKeppy]

It’s absolutely insane that Curtis sounded that good vocally all the time. Gods child for sure. We are so blessed to have him in our lives!

[@generfeld]

The "Gentle Genius" I think was his nickname. That high pitch falsetto voice is so iconic. No one sounds like him

[@rjam1974]

Another Mayfield song that gives you that extra push to want to make it in life

[@user-dc7um4pr3f]

This is such a great live performance honestly.

[@selfempower3960]

no word of a lie

[@Demonsterful]

Curtis Mayfield had a beautiful soul. He has always been a great inspiration to me. You are missed, brother. Yes, you are missed.

[@nubiannectar]

Curtis was a genius. H e was producing and arranging when he was 15 yrs old. He wrote a beautiful piece called "we the people darker than blue". He spoke for a nation of millions.

[@generfeld]

darker than blue, the OG version from the 1970 Curtis album, those opening notes of the horn, hits deep

[@PATACHENREN]

He wrote the 👍🏼 Master piece «GYPSY WOMAN » at âge 15…🙏🏼😇

[@sicilianbabe8]

WOW...a fan from Croatia digging Cutis Mayfield! He is a National Treasure. No matter how many times I hear him sing, I cry--happy or sad tears. The man could speak to the soul. The soul understands the Truth.

[@solinworld632]

Dobro dobro

[@fuzzyeah4770]

This means so much right now ♥️ Curtis always has something relevant to say.

[@janemillerick9614]

another of those artists we mourn, but whose music is relevant always, timeless. (and sometimes much more so you catch my drift!))

[@thekhansha]

Even more today - it’s early on November 3rd. Keep on Keeping on.

[@petersugar2185]

Just so beautiful and relaxing and calm great music great words. Great singer may the most high bless you Curtis Mayfield 🙏🏾

[@anthonyvaughan6470]

WHAT A GREAT POSITIVE SONG , PASS IT ON TO THE NEXT GENERATION !

[@anthonyvaughan6470]

AMEN TO THAT !

[@ramonaruth2412]

This is when Music was truly Music! It strikes you to the core. The message is truth!! RIP Curtis Mayfield....

[@maryannhermann2896]

Such a beautiful song I've searched for a long time to find this 💕 love this song ❤️

[@quieterrps]

Very beautiful! Curtis could never get enough credit as far as I'm concerned. Brains, heart, Soul, conscience, major cool, and talent galore. Glad that I caught him about a year before his horrible tragedy. It was just like Curtis to transcend that situation as well! Thank you!

[@sylvandelacruz]

I love Curtis Mayfield so much! Yeah, that's my friend Craig McMullen on guitar!! Saw him playing couple weeks ago in Beverly Hills. This beautiful song is my anthem!!

[@generfeld]

IMO one of the best songs of the 1970s.....beautiful in every way....mayfield's voice is iconic.......this and darker than blue are two extremely powerful songs from the 70s

[@bigcartoonyIIV]

This song is still relevant today. Curtis was the man

[@veloman59]

What a most beautiful song! RIP Curtis ❤️

[@thatkoolkatal]

Curtis....I don't even know what to say...except maybe thank god for blessing us with Curtis Mayfield when he did. Let's all keep on keeping on...my guardian angel Curtis Mayfield

[@derryckanthony]

I agree tone he is so underrated, but believe me their are many of who do appreciate this man's uncompromised messages, his realness, and his overall talent. If you haven't cop the CURTIS/LIVE cd, to me it is the best live album I have ever heard, excellent sound quality, energetic crowd, Curtis at his absolute best. It's like going to church everytime I listen to it, so inspirational.

[@bigmedge]

Curtis's endless humbleness, wisdom & genius entrancing melodies are timeless & therefore infinite. A true king

[@poetuvdapeople]

Inspiring...!!!! Wow why have I been oblivious to the genius of this man...I couldn't listen past the 70s greats like Stevie Wonder, Isley Brothers, even Gordon LightFoot, glad I delved further into the opus-making talent of the late, great Curtis Mayfield...

[@mildredlibii5743]

His songs will never die. It will live forever!!!!❤🎉😊

[@amd77j]

I loved his guitar playing. He was much more influential with his guitar playing than many people realize.

[@ayo4010]

So glad i spent my youth listening to Curtis......his music is honey for the soul.

[@LasColinasMusic]

Curtis is and always will be a musical giant in this world of ours!!🎹🎹✌🏻

[@ANDYURRY]

If ever there was a God on Earth , this was him , the legend that was CURTIS MAYFIELD, "The Good Die Young"....!!!!

[@lenniem2608]

The master craftsman of songs with deep meaning about social commentary. A Poet.

[@ballershanelle]

omg. its been years but once i heard his voice again..literally, he is one of a few male singers with a silky smooth voice. he can sing without or with music & any genre....

[@badgerbadger6490]

This Brother is a Prophet

[@lingbabauta433]

Go Tevone 🙌 I’m adding to my playlist. ❤

[@kbuttux]

[@PoeticOldSoul]

OMG, this was one of my first "favorite" vid from when I signed up for Y.T. ...I so remember this vid, WOW...and tell the TRUTH Curtis!

[@Offdrive3]

Magical...deep groove and what a gentle giant vocalist. I pity the sadass 69 people that thumbed down this classic!

[@sparkler007]

Thanks for posting. And thanks to Curtis. You were so special.

[@icon200]

a great loss to the world...sorely missed..Mr curtis Mayfield...BUT those of us who know... recognise REAL. the texture of his voice and his message

[@angelaanderson79]

Wow what a an amazing artist. Curtis was a beautiful soul

[@coleeandro6110]

My favorite soul artist of all time. And Bill Withers is right there too.

[@100kater]

Seit über 40 Jahren einer meiner Favorits. Unsterbliche Musik!

[@mostyle70]

Timeless soul music with a message what we need more today.

[@joberridge8909]

This was on BBC4 again last night...absolutely faultless...that includes the jacket. The 67 people that have given this a ‘👎🏽’ need to make themselves known

[@Solly68]

In terms of music and message, it doesn't get any better than that. Brilliant.

[@bobeagle3]

He was called "The Poet" -- a lyricist indeed and his music is sooooooo soothing.

[@taotlcqigongraven]

This is a high level piece of advice to move toward peace for us all. We need not get caught up in the petty small stuff, so we can let go of petting the sweaty stuff. I used this term to replace the word, 'evolving' or 'manifesting' higher development and my friend who doesn't like the word 'evolving' sent this to me when I suggested, "k.o.k.o." Keep on!

[@sct30]

lyrically, one of the best songs. i have heard in years. They can proudly imply that i was an alright guy. Genius. No one should take that away from me. RESPECT.

[@thekhansha]

Sounds like you had R E S P E C T in your playlist.

[@tone2223]

1 of the most underrated artist of the last 50 years..he has never giving his due respect for the true talent he is Curtis Mayfield Revolutionary Mental Warfare made with his lyrics and music,,KEEP ON KEEPING ON

[@canyoudigit6321]

Top all round musician,human,spokesperson of the day.we gotta move on up yeah,glorious.

[@sct30]

as a late bloomer to Curtis, this is simply 1 of his best, lyrically brilliant.

[@zaihiraray]

Curtis' lyrics are definitely the knowledge your mind needs to develop real love for humanity. Nectar for the heart and mind.. RIP. I keep on keeping on, and miss you, still. Your talent and intelligence are missed by listeners and musicians worldwide

[@mcpantique]

BEAUTIFUL SONG,FROM A GREAT ARTIST

[@sct30]

[@halfmonk]

[@TheBootywest]

He was. And this Old Grey Whistle Test performance rocks. Soul with attitude

[@shanduzambatha7591]

Perfect describe this.

[@berns1439]

Wow! after viewing this video,I am almost certain that Curtis had a lot of influence on Bob Marley's music.Thank God for the #1 Soul Singer!!!

[@josealejos11]

Is Salomón wisdom really Salomón? 🤔 Yes, Thank God because all Glory goes to Him.

[@Gibby_Films]

16 years ago u commented this, damn

[@mikewalters3299]

mr curtis mayfield music will keep on keeping on for decades r.i.p

[@Kinotriter]

Curtis is so great. The double LP live album "live at the Bitter End" (maybe 1969) got me into Curtis and his cool band (Craig mcMillan, 'Master' Henry Gibson, Tyrone McCullough, Lucky Scott). Keep on keeping on with music from that great era and those soulful cool music makers.

[@winifredlucretiapittsthomp6261]

Thanks. I needed this is my fifthy birthday them! XOXOX

[@cakemania321]

this is jawdropping

[@jewbre]

pure love trickling down my spine like water.i downloaded all curtis mayfield music, cause believe it or not, in croatia i couldn't find a single CD of his!

[@cadge]

Curtis..the soundtrack to my youth. If only eeveryone was as beutifull! Right on brother.

[@sct30]

i just cotinue to listen to this. his vocal is just brilliant, the lyrics hit home so well.

[@robbdavies7749]

Love this, especially the change in tempo

[@OrisLover]

A wonderful artist...one America's treasures.

[@MrReillac]

ahhh this man never fails to make me happy.. and im sure this is all that matters ...

[@JacquelineBryant-d7z]

It's not any reason to be unhappy God woke us up this new day love the gift of spiritual energy I'm sending you the love God gave me let us all share 😊😊😊smile It's gonna get better better.

[@ninoloso]

Love your music choices 👌 The comedy is 😂😂😂😂😂

[@goodtobecaring4035]

Magical ❤

[@poetuvdapeople]

True gospel music! :-) Peace, Love & Blessings to you and those in your heart!

[@theurbanmusicologist]

Curtis is the DON. Music of this quality is still being made though by Terry Callier, (childhood friend of Curtis from Cabrini Green), I saw Terry Callier perform on Monday night in London, (my home town), and he was sublime..a true poet who should be filling stadiums not small clubs. Like someonesaid in the comments it's up to US the public to support and endorse quality and if you like Curtis then without doubt Terry Callier is for you.

[@sct30]

this has to be one of the best written song ever, regardless of any issues surrounding it. come on people its 2012.

[@aidanskelly9596]

Thank you Curtis

[@jalebjaba1487]

Curtis was about social issues before it became fashionable in music. Rest In Heaven My Brother ❤️🙏🏼

[@kd1s]

Yes it is music that inspires. I have several of his early tracks too. Good stuff.

[@augustuswhite5211]

CURTIS MAYFIELD AND STEVIE WONDER .. GENIUSES.

[@sct30]

great musician, solid vocals and lyrics - would be no soul movement without him - Curyis Mayfield - Keep on Keeping On..xxx

[@timin770]

This is one darn pretty song. Signed, a 54-year-old white boy

[@jpetersgoyanks]

Roots is a monster album. Gorgeous!

[@ceedef3091]

Incredible ❤

[@gary10uk]

When you have your young remember this song Classic Curtis

[@stevensmtd]

Soul was never really my favourite kind of music but this is just amazing! What a voice!

[@Casablancajh]

That gorgeous tenor voice :)

[@Casablancajh]

Ok, I stand corrected.

[@artistknownas]

This song could have been played for this years election, and you would have never known it was done in the 70's....it's about as true and timely as a Marvin Gaye cut. Excellent.

[@Karmu2]

Curtis was the best - many original Reggae artists credit him as their inspiration...love him always

[@geoffboldison7304]

This just blows you away pure brilliance still to this day

[@jacquelinefox4492]

Curtis Mayfield. Angel voice X
