Free Music Notes for People Get Ready: Curtis Mayfield Story
Free Music Review: The Definitive Curtis Mayfield Collective...Minus One!
Hit: 4 Stars
The only reason I am giving ths box set of the great
Curtis Mayfield 4 stars is because it is missing two
jams that I love and that's..."Right On For The Darkness",
which was used in the 1995 film classic "Dead Presidents"
as well as "Little Child Runnin' Wild" which set the opening tone
of his classic soundtrack "Superfly", which is where most of the
young-headz know about him from!
Other than that oversight, this is the definitive
portrait of a great artist whose music was influential
to alot of people and whose songwriting and
lyrical skills inspired everyone from
Bob Dylan to Bruce Springsteen...Stevie Wonder,
Marvin Gaye & Sly Stone to Bob Marley!!
Not to mention countless of millions who are
discovering and rediscovering his genius today!
People Get Ready: Curtis Mayfield Story Poster
How many harmony groups took their cue from the Impressions? How many songwriters forged a worldview from the compassionate commentary penned by Curtis Mayfield, the group's mouthpiece? People Get Ready! The Curtis Mayfield Story is a three-disc celebration of the immeasurably influential singer, songwriter, and guitarist as an Impression and as a solo artist. People tend to associate him with Superfly, the seminal blaxploitation flick for which he composed the groundbreaking score. What's striking, however, is how timely Mayfield remained over the course of three and a half decades. Want to understand the mind of a middle-aged African American who's lived through Jim Crow, the civil rights, Vietnam, black power, street crime, homelessness, and even crippling injury (Mayfield was paralyzed in the early '90s)? Listen to these discs. What's striking, though, is that, through all that, he never stopped writing love songs. --Steven StolderR&B Music CDs
