[@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.

[@jaimiegordon2065]

Pure genius. He deserves a fucking star in heaven

[@user-dc7um4pr3f]

This is such a great live performance honestly.

[@selfempower3960]

no word of a lie

[@rjam1974]

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

[@anthonyvaughan6470]

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

[@anthonyvaughan6470]

AMEN TO THAT !

[@Demonsterful]

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

[@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

[@burt-1959]

absolutely top class.

[@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

[@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.

[@LasColinasMusic]

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

[@bigcartoonyIIV]

This song is still relevant today. Curtis was the man

[@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

[@maryannhermann2896]

[@TheANDYURRY]

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

[@halfmonk]

perfect. curtis was a beautiful musician.

[@TheBootywest]

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

[@shanduzambatha7591]

Perfect describe this.

[@bobeagle3]

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

[@amd77j]

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

[@steveo44]

Voice of an angel. What a talent. Great guitarist and songwriter

[@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!

[@Graceamazimg]

He gets recognition with US and the creator RIP bruva thru you and US our children...p e a c e

[@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

[@kbuttux]

Curtis mayfield was way before his time his music is still relevant today 21st century as it was in the 60's ...dope,hope and a bright future..."On pushing stay in the struggle"...Let truth live...

[@serena_observes84]

Powerful song and relates to today just a different struggle same undertone

[@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!!

[@dorandacolbert5973]

The Poet from the Projects. We will always love you.

[@cakemania321]

[@mcpantique]

BEAUTIFUL SONG,FROM A GREAT ARTIST

[@mostyle70]

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

[@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

[@jasonskorik2313]

This is for the ages.....it will last for ever. God bless Curtis Mayfield

[@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...

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@sammylove2006]

this performance from the old grey whistle test is beautiful, sounds better in stripped down form.

[@DomSure]

Voice and musicianship is beautiful. god bless you curtis as much as he's blessed us through you

[@augustuswhite5211]

CURTIS MAYFIELD AND STEVIE WONDER .. GENIUSES.

[@bigmedge]

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

[@michaelochido3244]

[@Zargon314]

Curtis is the man!

[@soulfoodie1]

+Doug K absolutely!

[@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....

[@gary10uk]

When you have your young remember this song Classic Curtis

[@aidanskelly9596]

Thank you Curtis

[@orionhellscream]

All time great song. Thanks Funk!

[@PortiaI]

what a beautiful, thoughtful and gentle man -- he had a vision for the world...

[@Casablancajh]

That gorgeous tenor voice :)

[@Casablancajh]

Ok, I stand corrected.

[@mikewalters3299]

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

[@lenniem2608]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@ara111000]

This song is like a delicate bird!

Soothing, Soulful BLACK music. RIP Brother CM

[@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.

[@DemoNova]

This song is so cool. It should be on Ride with Norman Reedus.

[@PhilipMantom]

and the Intro to Death Stranding :)

[@brandonpagel7711]

@bigbaldhead....

[@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.

[@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.

[@MERCURIRAINS]

This is music. Real, talent.

[@canyoudigit6321]

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

[@benjysimborski2526]

God Bless You Curtis......you are a soul brother........

[@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.

[@sclaverus]

God... I love this man and I sure miss him... Oneal

[@sct30]

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

[@Offdrive3]

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

[@sct30]

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

[@geoffboldison7304]

This just blows you away pure brilliance still to this day

[@757VAtrepreneur]
