@@Lillyxxxo A fantastic point. I am 62 and was a teen when this was out. No shooting up malls, no shooting up block parties. Just people having fun, no fussing or fighting.
My parents got it after they saw the movie, but is my brother and I who blasted it on our Grundig stereo. I hadn't heard this song but maybe once or twice in the past forty years. Still sang along with every word though.
The realest to ever do it IMO .. this dude has more talent in his fkn pinky .. literally .. compared to these weak ass modern day "artist" .. unfortunately .. smh!? These days the music is a reflection of the times we live in .. weak asf man??
@@mrwilljones3015 When Barry White first appeared on Soul Train he was allowed to bring an orchestra. It cost so much that Soul Train would only allow artist to lip sync.

😂I'm sorry but those people are scaring me the way they dancing..I actually watched the show on that Saturday when I was young.. that's right that's when black people knew how to conduct themselves🎈🙏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
@@ninabirdsong9910I am black it's not being racist I love my black people I love Curtis Mayfield The thing is I'm saying is if they was the dance like that in 2024 you'll be scaring me😅😅😅
No business being this cool, smooth, and chill at the same time. Like he does this in his sleep

No killing each other.
Flyest track ever laid down
Thank you for sharing
His music told the truth. It flowed so smoothly. He is sorely missed. No one exists like him today, not even close. 🛐🏆🙏💔😢
Absolutely! Curtis was one of my favorite musicians that I loved to listen to as a teenager around 16 years old. These were the good ole days.
I wish I could still move like that 😢😂
Curtis and Soul Train, Heaven on Earth !
This song is just pumped full of groove, but Curtis holds it together with his immaculate voice, tone and style.
🎸🥁 My older brother had this record & he used to blast it all the time in the '70's🤘
I still have Mayfield's records - nothing to play them on, but I still have them. :)

My dad had the stereo 8-track tape.
Curtis music is so fireeeeee
Mr. Mayfield's voice and dance moves are very calm😊
Anytime we are finalizing a contract I listen to this banger.
January 6, 1973, excellent.
On my late uncle's birthday.🎂
'72 , my Senior year. I saw this movie 10 times
Mine was 1973
So chill the entire performance lol
Homie was zoned out lol
Great music and composer, Mr.Curtis Mayfield!
One and only Soul Train, Great Weekly Show with Don Cornelius! 👏
This is why I don’t understand racists, without black people we wouldn’t have music like this, this masterpiece e
Memories 😌😌😌
If only they had the full band performing along with Curtis...... it be too good!
Coolio

He's definitely lip syncing here but it's still Curtis ans it's soul train, so it's all good!
Most guest lip sync on soul train

Al Green, Stevie Wonder, Tower of Power, Rufus, Chaka Khan a few others preformed live
So sad what happened to my man

Just don't watch..instead of taking low road of racism..learn how to conduct yourself.
