Luis Stefanell of Decatur. GA. Had the distinct pleasure of knowing him in my time living in Atlanta. Fantastic. human being, and remained very close to Curtis until his passing..
Curtis thank you for the years of music you shared with us and thank you for helping so many others in the business with songs you wrote for them. Dec 27, 2021
Thank you for sharing, i am a Chef because of COVID i am very depressed you brought me back some happiness, thank you so much for sharing this live moment.
wish they made music like this, todays music is such crap and so overproduced. This is pure talent with none of that lip syncing crap you see today. The World would be a better place if music was like this today
Aw man this is soooo gooooood - the percussion, the bass - every instrument plays every part in ME xo Curits Mayfield - natural soul man! I cannot be still when I listen to this ...
Out of sight. I will never forget this Brother we on the same stage in 1972, at the ALLEN Theater in Cleveland Ohio. We conversed in the wings. God Bless you C.M.
At some places it is, mainstream media just doesnt show it. I am very proud of my band, we play blues inspried funk with a touch of jazz - we're all 17-19 years old :)
One of the best dedicated musical geniuses and inspirational, motivational men of our era. As child in the '60's I was so inspired with Curtis's music in such a racially, war-torn era. His music got us through. A wonderful person a true mentor for our youth today. Love you always Curtis thank you for blessing us with your joyous legacy. .
L'âme de curtis c'est l'Influence majeure du funk et du rap !! Mayfield a été la clé de voûte de plusieurs révolutions dans la musique pop noire, et son importance dépasse de loin le funk urbain saturé de bongos et guitares wah-wah qu'il écrivit pour le film Superfly l'autre référence du genre, avec Shaft , ses emblématiques lunettes à monture de fer, sa barbe poivre et sel ou le son monstrueux qu'il sortait de sa Fender Telecaster. En plus de sa carrière solo et de celle qu'il mena longtemps au coeur des Impressions, il fut longtemps compositeur et producteur prolixe, travaillant notamment avec Gene Chandler, Major Lance, Aretha Franklin, les Staple Singers, Gladys Knight, ainsi qu'avec Jerry Butler même après son départ des Impressions
I got introduced to CM in the 70s during the Superfly era. But, let's be honest, his live stuff of Move on Up is classic. What a great career and rare talent.
Great live rendition man Curtis was so personable in his delivery. Craig McMullen complained about another video where they dubbed a studio recording over a live video. I miss the horns being a horn man but loved Curtis singing songwriting. The Impressions were a unique group always with that message of Black awareness but never hate. Nice to feature the musicians.
Blows my mind how some people like to criticize and I'm a critic! Did the critic stop to think that if the musicians were OK with Curtis that was enough. This sounded good to me even without the Impressions. Some people are never satisfied, no matter what you do.
How good it is that these recordings stay on top and you can watch such classics at any time.
God I have listen to this so many time I lost count. when ever I have anxiety at work I play this song and it gives me the power to do my job.
Curtis Mayfield is an underrated guitarist
No!
❤ le boss
It just needs Curtis. No horns, no strings no 70s feeling
In VERY loving memory of Mr. Curtis Lee Mayfield (1942 - 1999 R.I.P. // gone but NOT forgotten)
That band is insane wow
All the way in South Africa and here in 2024. What a tune!
The hand drummer is just brilliant, probably the best hand drumming in any song, how it SHOULD BE DONE!
Underrated observation 🤌

powerful percussion
Move on up!
This song was very helpful this spring when I lost my job. Now it's all good again.
Thank you Curtis!
Delighted for you.
Much love from Liverpool, England
Did you lose your job as a drug dealer?
We can be honest and admit that this man was the best to ever do it
i worked in audio union and non union from 1982-2018. This MAN is one of the best things to happen to the human race, ever. PEACE.
I started listening to this song when I was 1 I love it
this version is awesome
2024 this old school is still hot🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. who’s still listening ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Curtis is just some sort of "Holy Shit This Guy is Good" kind of musician.
This guy had it all : the groove, the skills and the conscience :-)
Thank you Curtis, may you rest in peace !
I really miss the horns on this song, but man do I love Curtis Mayfield's voice on this.
This band was definitely one of the finest,
Curtis thank you for the years of music you shared with us and thank you for helping so many others in the business with songs you wrote for them. Dec 27, 2021
His voice is amazing live but I miss the real horns and that 70's feel is gone.
+Josh Swartzberg agreed, i love synths but that synth sounds whack, so out of place.
It grew on me. Its not bad. Curtis was just keeping up with the times
Yeah agree but that 70's feel / sound was the bomb on this song.
Poor substitute here.
Just what I was gonna say. It's amazing how 80's destroyed that good organic 70's true funk sound ...
Having to pay horn players helps destroy it too. Four or five more guys would eat up Curtis' profits.
One of The Best live performances ever!!!!!
What a truly wholesome and wise man he was. God rest this good man's soul.
November 1, 2021 OMG STILL SOUNDS SOO SWEET 💖
The so-called "artists" of today could all take some intense lessons from these masters!
WOW.....the voice & lyrics are amazing...
This move is truly great and inspirational it shows you never to give up follow your dreams dream big love this movie.
Thank God I grew up in the 70,s USARMY, Masterful music from this Gentleman, I saw him live in NYC, he and the band put on a fantastic show.
I listened to his song super fly when I was 16years old. His voice is not changed! Awesome Curtis.
A stunning live performance. Legend !

Outstanding live version - C. Mayfield having a good time and doin' his thing ~
I noticed that too -- as soon as they heard the first riffs of move on up -- they should have been cheering -- he is a legend and so is the song.
Beautiful Man, wonderful musician, marvelous music
🎵
He sings so high ! God gifted man
Grrrreat!! Curtis was a legend. Didn't appreciate him when I was younger. Sorry I never saw him live.
Hey Y’all 💞
But my favorite was the slower version 🎙✌🏾😘
I love me Uncle Curt
“CURTIS MAYFIELD” lives forever 🎶🎵🔴⚫️🟢
I’m here during a pandemic 🦠
Inégalé pour l'éternité, Curtis Mayfield
Man, he was SO great!
When the live version sounds even better than the studio version which still sounds like a masterpiece!
We seen him in a park in 1968 The best conger I have ever. seen...Rip Curtis
Outstanding!! Curtis, the band....ooooh the drums on this is simply fab!!
wish they made music like this, todays music is such crap and so overproduced. This is pure talent with none of that lip syncing crap you see today. The World would be a better place if music was like this today
He sings the "move on up" part so awesomely crisp
I love so much this song ...
Simply one of the best ever, even sanpled today in hip hop big productions .. A trully part of music history ....
What a treasure. Dylan, the Doors, Rod Stewart all cover this guy. Detroit, Memphis and Philly all missed this guy somehow.
His band is ridiculous... The music is so sweet and timeless but they took it to another level thanks for posting this!!! WOW!
Aw man this is soooo gooooood - the percussion, the bass - every instrument plays every part in ME xo Curits Mayfield - natural soul man!
I cannot be still when I listen to this ...
Great solos! Even with a different band (save for Lee Goodness), he still brought it home! Great post!
IT IS ALWAYS AMAZING WATCHING THE MASTER CURTIS MAYFIELD LIVE!
wow....speechless
Rest in peace, Curtis.
It's Curtis Mayfield and the NERDY WHITE BOYS! Awesome, just awesome!
For more than 10 years this was my ringtone on the mobile phone.
Out of sight. I will never forget this Brother we on the same stage in 1972, at the ALLEN Theater in Cleveland Ohio. We conversed in the wings. God Bless you C.M.
At some places it is, mainstream media just doesnt show it. I am very proud of my band, we play blues inspried funk with a touch of jazz - we're all 17-19 years old :)

Le bassiste à son style mais le gars c'est un bon ça faut le reconnaître!!!!

Good percussion. Great song.
2019 and still move on up
Was watching a speech the other evening by a politician. He made a dance move while exiting on this profound composition of Move On Up.
That’s what I’m talkin bout. Sing it Curtis.
The Greatest. A legend
