Curtis Mayfield was such an inspiration. His music transended genres and race. This live version is tremendous. Gone way too soon. Thank you Curtis, you are very much missed.
Wow. Curtis is the man. He is the poet of a generation. He spoke for so many of us. Such inspiration. An artist like this will live on and on. Go on Curtis...keep on moving up.
I'm so mad at how negligence struck this man down, he was in his last years walking here he was paralyzed neck down in 1990 in flatbush Brooklyn when a lighting scaffold landed on his neck and broke 3 vertebrae, he died 9 years later from diabetes issues that no doubt were an effect of his paralysis
He was paralyzed by portions of an ampitheater ceiling collapse, and still released a bad-ass album after, with artists that recorded with him in support. Legendary! !!! Short Eyes Soundtrack is one of my fav albums ever!
I first heard this song during the opening scene from the movie, "Groove Tube," just after it opened in theaters ... about 1971. What a great movie, and what an incredible song!!!! Thanks for putting this version up!!!!!
i got asked who i wake up in the morning if i don't drink pop or coffee(only drink water) and i didnt really have an answer... today i will let them know that curtis mayfield is my answer, cause i put this song on every morning to get mas movin in more ways than one.
Looks like this is from - Live At Ronnie Scott's (1988) - because people were asking. I'd post the RUclips link, but apparently that is forbidden to me in comments.
Takes us back way back to the days, music was gold. You could listen to a song on radio, and like without having SEEN the artist. Now its just synthetic manufactured robots who the big music giants THINK we want to SEE not even HEAR. Good old real veterans.
Brilliant! Genius! Class! Hey, where are all the lovers of REAL GOOD MUSIC and great artistery and good vibes??? This video has ONLY about 95,500 views now 14 August 2009. It was posted like one year earlier. WHERE ARE ALL MUSIC LOVERS??? I'm chocked! Come, help me to send out this beautiful music into the world and this message of love!!
The 11 people who disliked this must have something seriously wrong with them. I listen to this record and just want to go out and do something positive with my life that helps others!
Me gusta esta melodía en todas sus versiones mi preferida es con el grupo Destination, claro es que la interpretación a su Melodía del gran Curtis Mayfield no tiene desperdicio nunca, sin embargo las trompetas y el sax hacen falta en esta ocasión, es mi opinión, de igual manera la he disfrutado con este excelente grupo de músicos. Saludos a todos!!
Maggy, Esse é dos bons mesmo. Entra ano e sai ano, decadas, milenios e o cara faz a gente voar num timing incrivel. Soul é tudo ! E que swing !!! Maravilha pura. kisses plurais xF
Fezzappa Your words are very true. This tune is a sure floor filler, Curtis and Master Henry Gibson On Drums are or I should say were Musicologists. A sung with out equal. RIP Curtis your music Lives on.
lol my boss on site to come on and listen to this as he reckend that music in his days was better than my days lol i dont agree but this is a good tune aha
@OnkelMickwald I totally agree. I was watching his Live At Montreux DVD, and was expecting to hear a booming horn section and all I got was a similar sounding, synthetic mosquito fart.
God damn this crowd really knows how to clap on time. Freaking amazing! I hope music like this never gets old. Pure class!
I actually went backstage with my Dad and Uncle and met this brilliant man. Underated genius.
Cheers

Its the harmony between Curtis, his band and the audience which stuns me
Ill be 74 come September 1st 2024 and still digging this sound..
Happy birthday 🖤

CURTIS WILL ALWAYS STAY IN MY HEART
HE IS THE ONE WHO KNOWS THE MEANING OF "SOUL"

I simply love this song!! 1:16

Wow that’s very tough. He was very talented.
The best smoking hot version of this song ever - Lewis on congas is unbelievable ........ Curtis your music lives on .......
And Lee is far on drums
Is the best of Soul , R&B , funk or whatever! This is Curtis!!
Very very inspirational. There are no words to describe the beauty of this song. Thank you so very much!
Man
Amazing years later,..62' slam jam. I am just screaming can't let it go it is played so well.
He was paralyzed by portions of an ampitheater ceiling collapse, and still released a bad-ass album after, with artists that recorded with him in support. Legendary! !!!
Short Eyes Soundtrack is one of my fav albums ever!
Simply the snappiest happiest version of this classic ever recorded ...
This song and many others prove what a genius he was and why it's called soul music.
Yes brother,but I would have love to see him play with all black musicians. No disrespect but the band was banging...
I first heard this song during the opening scene from the movie, "Groove Tube," just after it opened in theaters ... about 1971. What a great movie, and what an incredible song!!!!
Thanks for putting this version up!!!!!

Drummers name is Lee Goodness, this is a awesome live edition of Curtis.....I love the way he sang...a great asset and a greater loss
