    My dude I got so much C Mayfield, when I died I felt how people felt when Pac died real talk. I remember him and Grover Washington Jr died in 1999. RIP to one of Chitowns finest

    People in 2010 dont have enough music knowledge to even have an opinion on Curtis Mayfield.

    Curtis All Time Great . 9/10 Your favorite artist was influenced musical by him

    You know what, I don't know if we will ever find or see a soundtrack that contradicted a movie's overall theme. Tell me if I'm Wrong somebody.

    well it fit with the movie, it was hard times and that's what he was singing about. And Priest did'nt want to live like that anymore, he felt the destruction of his trade, physically and mentaly. Freddies Dead, brilliant song, and the musical arrangement in it, you have to listen to the words and you'll get it

    dear lord thank u t/s for makin this. ive been out in this concrete jungle trying to preach to teachings of brother mayfield for years. i swear im the only one in my generation that has an even basic understanding.(besides my friend who's a drummer so it makes sense)
    i have entirely too much to say on this mans music
    me & my friends do top 5 soul singers etc all those type of lists & they all jus have a strange look when i put curtis in my top 3...not that they can dispute it but jus a confused ass face lol
    Superfly is 1 of the 10 greatest pieces of work created
    props

    His catalogue is amazing.....19 studio albums: 14 were done back-to-back in 14 year time span!!!!! The man was entirely devoted and focused to his music. Do you think any of Today's R&B artists would showcase the same dedication that hey displayed?!?!? I don't really think so.

    14 albums?! Damn! His album "Curtis" is a classic. Curtis Mayfield is one of a kind, " Other Side of Town" is joint.
