1958 when the impressions with Jerry Butler did the song For Your Precious Love I never thought I’d hear a greater love ballad. It’s been 66 years and I was right! and It’s Alright mr. Mayfield and Mr. Butler
I fell in love with this music when i heard it when i was 16 yrs young. Im 51 now. Thank Curtis Mayfield and all the musicians for delighting the world with your music✨
It's amazing that he released the original song way back in Fall of 1963, with his band The Impressions! Great historically underated singer / songwriter / guitarist of all time! Great example of a Great man.
Clap your hands! Great footage. Kids today associate this song with Jon Batiste and the 2020 movie "soul". Jon has a superb 'gospel falsetto' voice, reminiscent of Curtis
Damn! This is the best thing on UA-cam and no one even knows it. Shame. A star studded session playin', heavey hittin' backup rhythm section with Curtis Mayfield upfront..
I like listening to Curtis talk in the beginning. RIP I never knew much about Curtis Mayfield and I learned a lighting rig fell on him and paralyzed him. Absolutely tragic and it upsets me bc living a life and being able to freely move changing to not being able to freely move and do things is just horrific. 😢
I read this and thought you may what follows my dear friend was in his band this is a story from someone was on the stage when it happened. I was there bro...it was more like the sidefill monitor cabs that landed on him Rocky ..I didn't see it happen because when squall line hit that was a fucking furious muthafucker..I mean and all of sudden...I was stage right getting my ass behind the side fill monitors...after that shit blew in about 30 seconds I see the drummer who had ducked behind his riser and I here him asking somebody on stage left is Curtis ok? And we went where he was I thought the muthafucker dead Rockon.lips were fucking purple eyes rolled back in his head and blood coming out the rim of the leather Kangol beret he just bought. Thankfully because it was an outdoor in Queens I think...and they had 2 ems units and 4 personnel and they got to Curtis quick and I saw insert a tube down his windpipe and started pumping the bulge as they putting him stretcher and put in the ambulance and he's gone. We were going to go from that show to Kennedy International and fly to Frankfurt and do 6 weeks Europe and Japan. Curtis couldn't make it. Bobby Bobby Gaines Broke his neck and damaged his spine. He was quadriplegic from that day on. His son Robert called me when his dad passed. He had 2 leg amputations after the incident...diabetes ate him alive ...that was a bad day Rockon..just realizing I would hear Curtis play guitar again..not mention his singing..but his guitar playing was special...and loved playing Bobby Bobby Gaines So .I hope that straightened out your inner conflict of if its real or if it's Memorex Rockon?lol..you hanging in there bro?

One of my long-time favorites. Glad I found this!
Amen, amen, amen.
The Show was called " Night Music" David Sanborn was the host and it ran for 2 years. I taped most of these shows on VHS.
Doesn't get any better than this!!❤
The beautiful arrangements the Impressions have done with what they had in the Studio, made them sound LIVE, on record..
So clear and clean and beautiful...Thank you so much...
I have found a new ol, Friend..
God Bless...
Very Cool! RIP David Lindley
The show is just called Late Night not saturday night live. If you like this you need to pull the archives from the show and see the other gems.
David Lindley is EVERYWHERE
Curtis mayfield.muito bom deixou saudades.
GD on keyboards.
Angelic.
Great Great song
Forget to mention the late great David Lindley on pedal steel guitar.
Looks to me like the late great David Lindley was also in that house band
Gee, Sanborn detected a “gospel influence” in Curtis’ music. Amazingly perceptive.

Classic stuff💯❤️ R.I.P to the late great Mr Curtis Mayfield🙏🏾
He had some hard years for the last of his journey but never lost his faith...
God told his people to keep the Sabbath. He's talking to the seed of the serpent child of Cain that destroyed his heritage creating the Anti-Christ Sun worship Sunday church system smiling with hate behind it keeping him in sin.
White dude looks like a Randy Travis knockoff!
