MAYFIELD, CURTIS
the very best of
Release Date: 30/07/2007
one of the most influential vocalists, writers, guitarists and producers of the 20th century, curtis mayfield managed to combine some of the greatest soul ever recorded with thought provoking lyrics tackling the key social and political issues of the time - without ever preaching or condescending to his audience. the solo albums he recorded betwixt 1970 and 1990, all released on his own label (another first for a black artist) remain as testament to his genius. this collection showcases highlights from those recordings, providing a thorough overview of his solo career. all his hits are here, including 'move on up' 'get down' 'if there's a hell below' 'beautiful brother of mine' 'freddie's dead' and 'superfly' - thus making the most comprehensive cd of his curtom period available, and a fine tribute.
