    I never knew much about Curtis Mayfield and I learned a lighting rig fell on him and paralyzed him. Absolutely tragic and it upsets me bc living a life and being able to freely move changing to not being able to freely move and do things is just horrific. 😢

      I read this and thought you may what follows my dear friend was in his band this is a story from someone was on the stage when it happened. I was there bro...it was more like the sidefill monitor cabs that landed on him Rocky ..I didn't see it happen because when squall line hit that was a fucking furious muthafucker..I mean and all of sudden...I was stage right getting my ass behind the side fill monitors...after that shit blew in about 30 seconds I see the drummer who had ducked behind his riser and I here him asking somebody on stage left is Curtis ok? And we went where he was I thought the muthafucker dead Rockon.lips were fucking purple eyes rolled back in his head and blood coming out the rim of the leather Kangol beret he just bought. Thankfully because it was an outdoor in Queens I think...and they had 2 ems units and 4 personnel and they got to Curtis quick and I saw insert a tube down his windpipe and started pumping the bulge as they putting him stretcher and put in the ambulance and he's gone. We were going to go from that show to Kennedy International and fly to Frankfurt and do 6 weeks Europe and Japan. Curtis couldn't make it.

      Broke his neck and damaged his spine. He was quadriplegic from that day on. His son Robert called me when his dad passed. He had 2 leg amputations after the incident...diabetes ate him alive ...that was a bad day Rockon..just realizing I would hear Curtis play guitar again..not mention his singing..but his guitar playing was special...and loved playing

      So
      .I hope that straightened out your inner conflict of if its real or if it's Memorex Rockon?lol..you hanging in there bro?

      Yeah..now there was a light rig with I think a 4 par light on it that I saw rocking when the wind came over where Curtis was that was on the stage where he was at but tell you truth there ain't no what broke his neck ..sidefills blown down where he was. He couldn't have a worse spot to be in .they saying Curtis ducking behind the sidefills stage left Rockon but I don't know. Nobody in band or crew wanted talk about that shit ..we thought the muthafucker dead. Our road manager was John Abbey from the UK ..him and his girlfriend Nina Easton owned Ichebon Records in Atlanta who Curtis signed with and John always went to Europe with Curtis..one of his biggest artists..he got us rooms in fucking Manhattan and we all drinking at the bar John walked in with the good news bad news...alive..but ain't never gonna walk or play his guitar again

      Damn dude i loved that cat hell of a songwriter and muscian
      Bobby
      He wrote that and People Get Ready when he was Impressions . Other singer a dude named Jerry Butler..I played the reunion of Curtis and Jerry at Chastain Park Amphitheater..that's probably the best show I ever played in my life..muthafuckers hadn't sung together in 20 years and NO rehearsal they got out there like they did a gig the night before..and Chastain is a fucking beautiful venue
      All the Superfly ..he won a Grammy and an Oscar for that ..killing..very percussion oriented

    Clap your hands! Great footage. Kids today associate this song with Jon Batiste and the 2020 movie "soul".
    Jon has a superb 'gospel falsetto' voice, reminiscent of Curtis
