| He was Sade's inspiration |
| Flip Wilson |
| Can you imagine having that voice. Way beyond being cool. Curtis was a genius. |
| "....a weakness was shown, 'cuz his hustle was wrong..." Right on. So cool. |
| Son énorme.J'ai dormis des soirées entière avec Curtis... |
| i luv this song! |
| This is THE soul..... |
| this cat was the most in demand guitarist in the world for a long time. Robertson Clapton Harrison all idolized this guy |
| Holy shit that's hotter fresh poon. |
| The best falsetto ever |
| True Genius !! |
| ~chiLL plis~ =) |
| TOP NOTCH ! |
| i'd do heroine to this music if i wasn't so broke... |
| Woulda won the Oscar for this , but he got beaten by Isaac Hayes for Shaft. |
| fucking beautiful soul (the man and the music) |
| check out my page before my music favs change.. (and I favorite almost everything someone shows me so ...) |
| This is the kind of music I grew up with... In the mid '90s! Yeah, I'm kind of retro. |
| This never ceases to amaze me. Classic and sublime. |
| I have a funk-processing deficiency...makes me sad to miss this. |
| haha couldnt say it better |
| god look at how he uses his thumb, his hands must have been huge. |
| I was introduced to Mayfield by listening Hendrix ballads.He is the man.From Santana to Beck,all the great musicians covered his song. R.I.P |
| he plays fingerpickin'.... he fuckin rules!! RIP Mr. Mayfield. He played his guitar using open F# tuning, his guitar playing sounded like a piano... he is one of the greatest guitar inspiration for me, even tough he's not a hellraiser like Hendrix, Eddie Hazel and other guitar heroes... |
| Mayfield was active throughout the 1970s and 1980s, though he had a somewhat lower public profile. On August 13, 1990, Mayfield was paralyzed from the neck down after stage lighting equipment fell on him at an outdoor concert at Wingate Field in Flatbush, Brooklyn, New York. |
| funk in its purest form.....rip curtis mayfield |
| god, I love this! |
| Superfly was tha shit back in the day,Curtis Mayfield was one of the great classic soul guitarists of his era in 60's & 70's every thing he did w/Impressions & solo career was Marvalous indeed. |
| Brilliant,Brilliant,Brilliant.... Curtis is The Mack of the Seventies |
| he was paralyzed from that accident in '90 but lived for another 9 years, died in georgia. (looked it up on wiki) |
| I believe he died in Brooklyn when a bank of stage lights fell on him. Must be 15 years ago by now... going from memory (and therefore might be inaccurate!) |
| i remember this episode of flip wilsons show. it was great. I have this album it was great then and now. Curtis Mayfield was great and he will be missed but at least we have his music. |
| -God bless U man... now you are singing with the angels...respect! (from brazil) |
| Thomas Young! You still alive man? Remeber 1973 on the Midway? |
| In Feb '98 Curtis had to have his right leg amputated due to diabetes. It is said that he sadly died a year later (Dec 26, 1999) due to complications of diabetes. Let us remember the legacy that his music has left, a truly talented musical genius. Rest in peace, Curtis. |
| Good Question. Both where good but I would have to go with Superfly, because what made "Shaft" dope was that it had unorthodox track lengths,instrumentals,and loaded with interludes, it was more orchestrated. Superfly was way shorter but personafied the songs better,Shaft felt like the background music in a movie while SuperFly sounded like the script...Just my opinion, SuperFly is better, a better movie too I love Isaac Hayes though, takin my babies (9,6,3,6months) to Stax next month. I RAP? |
| he was a great man and musician. |
| in a word "DUDE" Does anyone know exactly how he died.... |
| Boy, do I miss the Flip wilson Show! The theme song was rhythmically comparative to The Streets of Philadelphia & the theme from UFO. |
| Not all hip hop is like that. Actually a lot of it DOES have a message. Listen to Lupe Fiasco. Listen to Common. Outkast. Nas. Listen to people freestyle. And THEN you can try and comment on what rap is. But to say that all Rap "stinks"...? As ikariss77 said, you've probably never heard REAL hip hop. You don't even know what hip hop is. |
| You've probably never heard real hip hop. |
| As the late, Barry White would've said Sho' you right!!! But it sho' would be nice to know what was the greatest soundtrack Issac Hayes "Shaft" or Curtis Mayfield's "Superfly" both in my opinion are DAMN good. They stand the test of time. |
| thanx to my fathers and grandfathers their generation. |
| Great music- stands up very well 30 years later. Though the subject is rough, inner city life, and yes it's morally ambiguous - celebrates the life of drug pushers, hate Whitey, Black exploitation films, but the soul, music talent is there for all to see. Compare this great music to today's Black African American music - Rap/Hip Hop. Rap stinks - no musical talent, no message, no soul, just ignorant, talentless punks shouting, can't even understand the words. We should sterilize Rap singers. |
| you could argue that with a lot of these artists that 'no junk no soul' applies, but mayfield and womack both cleaned up and were just as talented. Shame about David Ruffin really |
| Mayfield and Bobby Womack were trying to deliver the same message. Take this song and run it alongside 'across 110th street' by womack and you will see the similarities. The harlem drug ring i.e the council of seven were responsible for empowering african-americans in the wrong way, these guys were like 'it's cool, but there is more to us than just the dope' |
| Curt has more talent in his spit than puff daddy & all that crap on the radio nowadays |
| total agreeance. after you are high though, you gotta play pusherman. crucial |
| hahaha no shit man, finally somebody that understands! |
