Curtis Mayfield was the poet of the times. His music was made for the black experience

[@rodom7171]

Curtis has traveled with me 60 years of my life.....keeps me grounded! Some of you enlightened folk know what I'm conveying! Rest my brother cause you'll never ever die!

[@johnanderson7711]

Wow,he did so much in such a short time. During the. British invaison His music and his artist such as GeneChandler,Major Lance and of course Motown were the only record companies consistently having hits.

[@jerryj920]

@@johnanderson7711 Artists in Britain were heavily influenced by American soul singers....when The Beatles arrived at Kennedy Airport in 1964 one of the (I believe Paul McCartney) can be seen coming down the stairs of the airplane carrying albums...I forget who's album can be seen... heavily influenced.....

[@johnanderson7711]

@@jerryj920 Aren't everybody infleuned by black music? I never said that theBritish artist were not infleunced by black music. Is just can't the fact that nobody heavily charted in the US on a continuos basis but Curtis and his music and Motown.

[@jerryj920]

@@johnanderson7711 Yes they are....I never suggested or implied they weren't...I believe I supported your comment about that...a misunderstanding here somewhere, Mr. Anderson....

The best part of the movie "Superfly" was the score. R.I.P. Curtis Mayfield.

[@seanrandles3416]

yes, great soundtrack shame about the film!

[@paulwaring3871]

A True Genius to which many have copied, non surpassed his Genius

[@gerald6919]

so sad people having kids and not caring for them.

[@starrcompany3275]

Wish he didnt change the ending part! That was the best part

[@MarieProvost77]

Amazing how some of the most talented, groundbreaking artists still dwell somewhere beneath the general radar. I saw Superfly when it came out, bitd, & have always kept a copy of the soundtrack album. I'd never seen CM live until tonight, thanks to modern technology & you.
