Rest in peace and 81st birthday wishes to Curtis Mayfield 6. 3 We are grateful for this pure musicians legacy. The soundtrack of Superfly and Sparkle are just part of his superlative work. We must recognize and enjoy
Curtis Mayfield (June 3, 1942 -- December 26, 1999) was an American soul, funk, and R&B singer, songwriter, and record producer best known for his anthemic music with The Impressions and composing the soundtrack to the blaxploitation film Superfly. From these works and others, he was highly regarded as a pioneer of funk and of politically conscious African-American music.[1][2] He was also a multi-instrumentalist who played the guitar, bass, piano, saxophone, and drums. R.I.P
I`m so happy that I got a chance to jam with Master Henry Gibson that is playing the various percussion here for Curtis Mayfield. We have all lost these two Great people. Every week I think of them. I`m a 64 year-old white guy who plays bass guitar. These are people that gave me the urge to stay alive.Keep on pushing all You BLM people out there !
Where have you been? I'm a couple years younger than Curtis, been listening to his music since his early days with the Impressions when Jerry Butler was with the group. Curtis was never underrated in fact it was the opposite! Even when he wrote music for other artists you knew who had written it by the unmissable poetry that was his unique style and calling card. Long before Superfly and Claudine, Curtis had already cemented his place in music history! So, no you're way off track with your assessment!
I hope the person yelling their lungs out at 7:30 wasn't hurt! What a break down!!! Ive watched this video over 50 times in the last year... must of kept me alive through this madness. Peace To Everybody... especially the new generation, those who are younger than myself(36YO). Peace n Love
This is conscious music with deep meaningful messages. LOve Curtis....wish I could have caught him in concert when He was alive.....Man this sounds good and no....they don't make music like this anymore. Move on UP!!!
Mayfield took the Hollywood Blacksploitation film industry of the early 70's and laid a soundtrack over it to inspire people with a positive spiritual message instead of the bleakness of the inner city ghetto depicted in the films. A legend.
The inspirational musical revolutionary of our time. Curtis, sir your contributions to Black culture is enumerable and immeasurable and your are surely missed Black Father Lion..."right on!"
Curtis is kicking some behinds in this song, funk is all over the place and it just grooves and grooves!! not to mention that percussionist is out of sight.
Oh My God This percussionist is The Bomb!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😘🎵 They’re All Fine Musicians. Rest In Heavenly Peace Curtis Mayfield, forever Missed & Loved.🎵🙏🏼🎼🎸🥁🎤🎹
The percussionist is Master Henry Gipson.. He is my Uncle.. my mother's oldest brother... Him and Curtis is jamming in heaven or they both raising hell bout to get kick out for partying like Rock Stars 🤣😅 🤣😂Trust me
Sounds good but it makes attempting to isolate the drum track a royal pain. The app will take both the drums and all other precussion instruments and lump them in one track. Trying to figure out if tom toms are being played with the conga's going is hard core. Here is a track where you dont even hear the conga's until you isolate the drum track. ua-cam.com/video/hj1ZlHsBwIM/v-deo.html
Great song! with a good message. The conga percussion guy is really good to. I liked how Curtis used percussion in his songs. I think Curtis may have still be alive today if the stage wouldn't have fell on top of him.
I remember going to the Howard Theatre in Washington, DC in the early 60's (my friends and I were the only white boys attending). Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions were often performing. The tickets were $5 - what a steal!!!. Curtis Mayfield was a certifed musical genius. His lyrical and rhythmic talents were and are unmatched.
Curtis Mayfield was the best. He would entertain you with his incredible grooves and compositions. He is very engaging... He would have conversations with you, feed your mind and raises your awareness of things going on around you. Rest In Peace, CURTIS.
To this day one of my all time favorites.Takes me back to a time of really well written music. What a timeless masterpiece Curtis left us. Can't listen to this song and not feel good.Vaya

He was only 45 at this time (born in 1942). What a special person he was. Aging quickly but with a voice like an angel...

As a person and a man of spiritual fortitude Curtis was one of our inspirational leaders of the civil rights struggle and movement. HC cle Oh❤
God truly sent us a blessing when he sent Curtiss.
Always wondered who his conga player was ... definitely a MASTER🙏🏿
That master was Henry Gibson. Was because he passed away somewhere in 2002. There's a page on him on drummerszone dot com. Google it
It's so amazing that this has been on UA-cam for 16 years, ever since 2007.
Real music....DAMN
Was geweldig in Den Haag in ""87 !! Gelukkig toen NIET gemist!
Early 70s song made me Move On UP then and now!..Thank you for decades of great vibes.
Curtis the BEST...

Curtis - it pains me that I never saw you live. Your music inspires and will continue to do so forever.
Thank God we have his music.
