My mother made my brothers and I watch the movie "Short Eyes" as teenagers. This song was the intro to the movie, and it entered my soul and hasn't left. His music got me through some tough times as a kid growing up in the 90s. Crazy how some things can remain so relevant!
I LOVE THE ORCHESTRA SOUND THAT HELPED HIS MUSIC GIVE YOU A EMOTIONAL LIFT AND DELIVER THE MESSAGE---LIKE YOU'RE REALLY LIVING IT. I BEEN A IMPRESSION FAN SINCE 1960-STARTING WITH GYPSY WOMAN. I WILL ALWAYS MISS MY IMPRESSIONS. R.I.P. CURTIS MAYFIELD-THE GENIUS.
What an amazing arrangement. Free flowing and bleak like the film and more the reality. The soulful guitar play in between the verses is absolutely brilliant Probably my favorite by Curtis.
I've been a Curtis and Impressions fan since 1960---Johnny Pate the arranger of those Curtis songs always-mostly used an Orchestra with those arrangments. Just listen to the Orchestra and enjoy the song even more. ''PEACE""
Yeah, the Pistols were happening at the same time and i was into the punk scene in a big way though you know what....I always loved Curtis and still do!
