Best Curtis Mayfield Album please?

Although it’s probably been outdone by Baby Huey :joy:

Thanks


As a soundtrack, it comments on, and subverts, the film. No fool Curtis. Also excellent canga playing.

Ta.

Imo one of the best there’s ever been Mike an absolute giant of an artist. For me this just captures the essence of him - sublime.

Yeah, I saw that and I do love me a live Album.

I think I’m going to go with that.

I’ll stick with the live Album for now, ta.

I wasn’t at all aware of his back story; what an amazing man. Fuck, despite my “problems”, I have it easy !

The fucking tragedy is that his songs are every bit as relevant today.

The cover here says it all, this album is a recent favourite for me. He’s an artist who has a real depth to his catalogue, like his thinking.

Again, I’ll stick with the live Album but, hopefully, a new to me artist I can delve into and really enjoy. There’s been precious few of those lately.
