Yes, Someone Injured Mr Curtis When He Was Performing On Stage..!!! It Was Definitely Foul Play..! May Our Legend Mr. Curtis Mayfield..! 🌹🙏🏾 Rest In Peace..!
Happy 80th Birthday Curtis Mayfield. You are so very missed. I so love this song because it is truer now than it was when you wrote. Thank you for all those songs you left behind.
This is 2022 you all be safe and bless and and keep your family and kids ask God to keep you all together and be careful in the trying times God bless you all and your family and kids Milton
THERE'S ONLY THREE WORDS WHEN IT COMES TO THE POET OF CHI -TOWN, MR, CURTIS MAYFIELD. CURTIS, SMOKEY, MARVIN, STEVIE USED UP ALL OF THE WORDS IN THE AMERICAN VOCABULARY, DIDN'T LEAVE THE RAPPERS NOTHING BUT CUSSING.
This song is such a treasure--Curtis Mayfield is with his Lord now, and undoubtedly he was ready when the time came. My Christmas season is incomplete without hearing this song--thank you, Curtis Mayfield, for your soul, and for using your God-given talent to praise God. Amen.
This beautiful song became the theme song for the civil rights movement of the 1960's, a Gospel Soul song with a positive spiritual message, a track which has withstood the test of time since it's inception in 1965, it has also been covered by a plethora of artists over the years
I played this song everyday on my " record player " when I was in high school in Springfield, IL. I still play it, only now I just tell Google to play it on my phone. Curtis was a true musician, sooo talented.
Taylor Harris fuck that’s kinda whack but at least Mayer is definitely legitimately talented.. A real blues man that made his money on bs songs like that one..
caprice.t I meant that Mayer is a real blues man but he made his money on bs songs like “waiting on the world to change”. It is what it is I like the dude, just not that song and hated thinking it could have been lifted from this..
There are thousands of songs with the same progression, some way more similar sounding than ‘Waiting on the World to Change’ (listen to ‘Have a Little Faith in Me’ by John Hiatt). It’s a subconscious thing. Guarantee that JM didn’t think “I’m going to write a song using the progression from ‘People Get Ready’”. Plus, this progression is only half of the WOTWTC verse.
Curtis Mayfield was one of the classics, beautiful voice, lyrics & rhythm. He should be up there with all the greatest. It was and still is a pleasure to listen to you.
The whole song is just a POWERFUL MESSAGE, it is not just a song for entertainment, l read if I'm not mistaken that Mr. Mayfield wrote this song base off a sermon(s) he heard when attending church with his mother or grandmother. One of my favorite lyrics in the song is when Curtis Mayfield sings there is no hiding place from the Kingdom Throne, so people get ready. Again this is a Powerful song and not just for entertainment-JESUS IS COMING BACK for those who BELIEVE in HIM!!!!!
please no comments on Mayer. No one can compare him to Mayfield. Mayfield songs touch ppl's souls. Mayer, hmmm, read the lyrics... This song I sing everyday for the past 2 years...
People get ready There's a train a comin' You don't need no baggage You just get on board All you need is faith To hear the diesels hummin' You don't need no ticket You just thank the Lord So people get ready There'a a train to Jordan Picking up passengers Coast to coast Faith is the key Open the doors and board them There's hope for all Among those loved the most There ain't no room For the hopeless sinner Who would hurt all mankind Just to save his own Have pity on those whose Chances grow thinner There's no hiding place Against the Kingdom's throne So people get ready There's a train a comin' You don't need no baggage You just get on board All you need is faith To hear the diesels hummin' Don't need no ticket You just thank the Lord
I agree totally. But as far as covers go, Jef Beck & Rod Stewart did a good job w/ it. & I ain't a big fan of Rod's. Jef has offered decades of propers....
People Get Ready People get ready There's a train a comin' You don't need no baggage You just get on board All you need is faith To hear the diesels hummin' You don't need no ticket You just thank the Lord So people get ready There'a a train to Jordan Picking up passengers Coast to coast Faith is the key Open the doors and board them There's hope for all Among those loved the most There ain't no room For the hopeless sinner Who would hurt all mankind Just to save his own Have pity on those whose Chances grow thinner There's no hiding place Against the Kingdom's throne So people get ready There's a train a comin' You don't need no baggage You just get on board All you need is faith To hear the diesels hummin' Don't need no ticket You just thank the Lord
This is so beautiful, I love Curtis so much! I think TH-cam has the thumbs-up and thumbs-down buttons too close together though, some people accidentally hit thumbs down I guess!
People get ready There's a train a-coming You don't need no baggage You just get on board All you need is faith To hear the diesels humming Don't need no ticket You just thank the Lord People get ready For the train to Jordan Picking up passengers From coast to coast Faith is the key Open the doors and board them There's room for all among the loved the most There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner Who would hurt all mankind just To save his own Have pity on those whose chances are thinner Cause there's no hiding place From the Kingdom's Throne So people get ready for the train a-comin' You don't need no baggage you just get on board ! All you need is faith to hear the diesels humming Don't need no ticket you just thank, you just thank the Lord Yeah Ooh Yeah Ooh I'm getting ready I'm getting ready this time I'm ready this time I'm ready
"There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner Who would hurt all mankind just To save his own" Unfortunately these prophetic words are the basis of what is crippling the world as the corporate-political complex has embraced profit over the future good of humanity.
I mean he's very well rated, maybe under appreciated, pretty sure this was the same year he was tragically paralyzed, RIP, no choice of color is the best color
AS A KID IN CHICAGO ABOUT A WEEK AFTER THE DEATH OF M.L.K, I RECALL THIS SONG WAS PLAYING THROUGH OUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD. I KNEW AS A BLACK PERSON WE HAD COME A LONG WAY, AND NOTHING COULD STOP US NOW, WE HAD TO BE LOOK AT IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT.
Love this powerful song by Curtis Mayfield. I'll never forget a female Black singer singing this song as a slow train carried Bobby Kennedy's body back to Washington in 1968.
It seemed as if he was pleading with the world to do better, improve, change its ways 'There is no room for the hopeless sinners who have hurt mankind .. . Great song
My favorite song ever! God bless Curtis Mayfield! I saw him perform with the Impressions in Ocean City, NJ when I was a teenager. Two other favorites of mine are their songs, "This Is My Country," and "Choice of Colors."
Geez- I've watched Curtis sing his song 76,357 times now, which means, at this point,the number of views has just reached an even 300,000. There should be a million by now.
I remember this song as a young boy thinking that there's no hope due to the bad things happening in the world. That was then and this is now and there's still no hope for this world for It's worst than it ever has been. That said, it's beautiful song and a place to escape from the evils of this world if only for a moment.
Curtis Mayfield was the most talented and beautiful unsteady falsetto in history. Let him never be forgotten. What a horrible way to start out 2000, losing him.
It is nice to hear him use the word People. If we all used that instead of all the labels we put on faith we may not have as much trouble as we have in the world today.. Just a thought.
Indeed, Eva sang this with an unbelievable passion just a short time before she passed away. There are no words to describe her rendition. It was uniquely her own...in a class by itself...to be compared with none other.
Waiting On the World To Change............i guess John Mayer is a Curtis fan. He did this song justice tho. Initially i thought Mayer was a punk but he has some damn good songs. Also a pretty good stand in for Jerry and The Dead. THat was a brilliant move to keep that legacy alive!!! Who would have thought!
Prepare yourselves to rely more on nature don't allow your mind to get seized at this time be true to yourself and heighten your thoughts and frequencies most importantly love yourself and keep the faith in our most highest eternal Mother and Father during this uncharted and historic reality. ❤
My dad usually listens to slow and like old, not that famous songs and usually It’s not songs that I personally vibe to but this.... this is a hole different story 😦😍

I’ve just played this over and over hoping some family members are listening 🙏✝️💕
Bless you Kim 😢They are listening for sure 😊

People get ready, you don't need no ticket, you just Thank the Lord! Amen! Jesus is waiting for you too - to come aboard! Will you accept him?
Love that voice . Love that song . Love that magical modulation . All peace be to Curtis Mayfield for this gift .
I played this song everyday on my " record player " when I was in high school in Springfield, IL. I still play it, only now I just tell Google to play it on my phone. Curtis was a true musician, sooo talented.
Beautiful! Rest In Peace, C. Mayfield!
Thank you Curtis, you helped me through the highs & lows of love & life.
This is definitely where John Mayer gets the chord progression for "Waiting on the World to Change." Great song for sure.
I just heard the song and thought the same

‘Same Love’ by Macklemore too. Nearly identical.
Curtis Mayfield was one of the classics, beautiful voice, lyrics & rhythm. He should be up there with all the greatest. It was and still is a pleasure to listen to you.
He is up there with the greatest already

Mayfield songs touch ppl's souls. Mayer, hmmm, read the lyrics...
This song I sing everyday for the past 2 years...
Yes, get ready, all you need is faith. Thank-you for sharing a powerful oldskool golden hit rendition. GOD BLESS!
Faith is worthless. Faith started Bush's illegal wars, faith promotes violence hatred and persecution. Religion in evil
Amen faith in the Lord Jesus Christ
Ive always loved this song man they just dont make them like this anymore .one of the best songs ever written.
People get ready
There's a train a comin'
You don't need no baggage
You just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear the diesels hummin'
You don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord
So people get ready
There'a a train to Jordan
Picking up passengers
Coast to coast
Faith is the key
Open the doors and board them
There's hope for all
Among those loved the most
There ain't no room
For the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind
Just to save his own
Have pity on those whose
Chances grow thinner
There's no hiding place
Against the Kingdom's throne
So people get ready
There's a train a comin'
You don't need no baggage
You just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear the diesels hummin'
Don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord
Thank you!
Beautiful song, Praise the Lord ❤🎉
He WROTE this song, who could do it better?
Waiting On THe World TO Change---John Mayer. definitely borrowed from this song.
Ladysmith Black Mambazo !
I agree totally. But as far as covers go, Jef Beck & Rod Stewart did a good job w/ it. & I ain't a big fan of Rod's. Jef has offered decades of propers....
Jeff Beck / Rod Stewart is may favorite version. But of course the original is great too.
Fast forward to 2020
Still listening✌🎶✊💞
We need more music like Curtis Mayfield's!!!😊
Timeless song..sends chills thru me..
Curtis Mayfield is soulful
That’s a good song…”Don’t need a ticket, just get onboard…”.
I wonder if people know what it’s about…
Amen...have pity on those whose chances grow thinner for there's no hiding place from the Kingdom's throne...Love ya Curtis and we miss you!

Waiting On The World To Change---John Mayer. sounds very similar, he definitely borrowed from this song.
FAITH 🗝GRATITUDE🗝

82 years old. Legend forever ❤❤❤❤❤
The most super entertainer of all decades rest on brother curtis mayfield's
"There ain't no room
for the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind just
To save his own" Unfortunately these prophetic words are the basis of what is crippling the world as the corporate-political complex has embraced profit over the future good of humanity.
Dog Lover Stevie Wonder sang a similar phrase in They Won't Go When I Go.
The "corporate-political complex" would not exist if there were not people. No political view is evil without people to make it so.
The late John Paul I I referred to corporations and governments that put power or profit above people as structures of sin.
Dog Lover *** Right on
Please somebody tell that to 45
The man was one of the best writers for all people who love music...LONG LIVE CURTIS!!!
The most under-rated song-writer in history
Not for me he isn't
Quite possibly :)
I mean he's very well rated, maybe under appreciated, pretty sure this was the same year he was tragically paralyzed, RIP, no choice of color is the best color
I agree 100% on that ! I love curtis mayfield . good guitar player too
Jim Carroll, Curtis under-rated Na....
AS A KID IN CHICAGO ABOUT A WEEK AFTER THE DEATH OF M.L.K, I RECALL THIS SONG WAS PLAYING THROUGH OUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD. I KNEW AS A BLACK PERSON WE HAD COME A LONG WAY, AND NOTHING COULD STOP US NOW, WE HAD TO BE LOOK AT IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT.
🙏
Gray69s: John Mayer introduced his song in September of 06. I was laying on my bunk in the Nam (1971) listening to Mr. Mayfield sing this song...
R.I.P TO ALL WE HAVE LOST THROUGH GUN VIOLENCE!!!!!!1
All violence 🙏
He didn't pass away from gun violence, but rather from illness
Nobody, nobody, ever did it better!
Jeff Beck did a pretty good job too.
Ron Niles lmao
Al green did it better.
@@MatraBatra Jeff Beck did a fantastic job, go listen
@@hughjarrse Jeff and Joss Stone
Love this powerful song by Curtis Mayfield. I'll never forget a female Black singer singing this song as a slow train carried Bobby Kennedy's body back to Washington in 1968.
Behind what has happened to this country are people, with names.
Wow.... I had no idea this played during that procession....
It seemed as if he was pleading with the world to do better, improve, change its ways 'There is no room for the hopeless sinners who have hurt mankind .. . Great song
My favorite song ever! God bless Curtis Mayfield! I saw him perform with the Impressions in Ocean City, NJ when I was a teenager. Two other favorites of mine are their songs, "This Is My Country," and "Choice of Colors."

My Super-Fly album was always close at hand when I was a boy.
❤️🙏🏽💋🎼🤗🎶 SHARED. I MET CURTIS MAYFIELD WHEN I WAS 24 YEARS OLD 🤗WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SOUL. 🙏🏽
his mellow voice is great missed
I remember this song as a young boy thinking that there's no hope due to the bad things happening in the world. That was then and this is now and there's still no hope for this world for It's worst than it ever has been. That said, it's beautiful song and a place to escape from the evils of this world if only for a moment.
The world needs to hear this now.
So soulful it just gave me goose bumps, can listen to this over and over again. Rest In Power.
Curtis Mayfield was the most talented and beautiful unsteady falsetto in history. Let him never be forgotten. What a horrible way to start out 2000, losing him.
One of the greatest songs that stand the test of time.....amazing
favoriteeeeee
Chicago's very own Curtis Mayfield, R.I.P.
I love the way they did this one.
Enjoyed the video - nice quality. Thanx for sharing this classic.
I loved & miss this Great Man & talent.....R. i. P. --- 2022
I wanna catch that train :)
It is nice to hear him use the word People. If we all used that instead of all the labels we put on faith we may not have as much trouble as we have in the world today.. Just a thought.
This is my absolute favorite rendition of this particular song!
Mary Jane paul weller does a good version too!
Nigel McDonald Paul Weller does a lot of good things ;-)
Mary Jane matter of taste . i myself prefer eva cassidy's version ;-)
+Mary Jane Curtis ist großartig. Aber auch ich tendiere zu Eva Cassidy!
Indeed, Eva sang this with an unbelievable passion just a short time before she passed away. There are no words to describe her rendition. It was uniquely her own...in a class by itself...to be compared with none other.
My favorite song by Mayfield. He was a genius.
We need to try to get everybody in the world to listen to this. I wish I had a way to make it go viral and make it the number one song today 😁
BEAUTIFUL ! What a beautiful soul. Curtis Mayfield ! LOVE YOU ! ! !
We love this rendition; so much soul, we had to listen to it several times.
Curtis is wonderful! Love this song. I wish he were still around to help us get together (and I'm white btw)
+Anne Cross And why does your skin color matter again?
***** -Slow clap-
+David Hernandez Agreed. You are correct.
Curtis was in my book one of the all time coolest dudes ever to grace us with his presance,,, the pusher man....
Waiting On the World To Change............i guess John Mayer is a Curtis fan. He did this song justice tho.
Initially i thought Mayer was a punk but he has some damn good songs. Also a pretty good stand in for Jerry and The Dead. THat was a brilliant move to keep that legacy alive!!! Who would have thought!
Played this song at my brothers funeral. Everyone loved it.
I'm pretty sure I'd heard Bob Marley's "One Love" long before I knew that it was inspired by this song.
I have been moved...another friend posted a band and a girl was soulfully singing thus song 😊....this will be my next Kereoke song ❤😊🙏🏽
To me Curtis made his peace with GOD and put the call out for us to get right. I love him and this song!
Prepare yourselves to rely more on nature don't allow your mind to get seized at this time be true to yourself and heighten your thoughts and frequencies most importantly love yourself and keep the faith in our most highest eternal Mother and Father during this uncharted and historic reality. ❤
Ein großartiger Musiker!!! Seine Stimme ist einzigartig!!! People Get Ready ist für mich ein Jahrhundertsong!!! Er starb leider viel zu früh!!
The opening words gave me goosebumps.
been digging curtis since I was thirteen and still digging him . live on .R.I.P
The absolute best rendition.
Why do I get the strange feeling that John Mayer got some inspiration off this song for Waiting For The World To Change
Kabelo Maloka Sounds more like Bob Marley to me... One love
It's the same chord progression that's why ;)
And he plays bar chords the same way too with the thumb!
Also stuck in a moment by U2
Quel génie musicale!!…👍🎯⛩🙏💐🎼🙏
This gentleman was a genius. May his soul rest in peace
Exquisite.
Nice video camera work, too.
Love this. Also enjoy Tomo Fujita's cover of this on his Blue Sky album.
Just get on board...
You don't need a ticket...
Just thank the Lord
Ah, Curtis!
Greatest singer. I loved / love the fella. Glorious tune.
Dá um joinha aí quem conheceu essa música pelo Oficina G3 !! \oooooooooo/
"There is hope for all those that are loved the most" Faith, Hope and Love will change our world and heal the land. The last shall be first!
And a superlative singer and guitar player. Sorely missed...
Just had to here it one more time. Took me back a few. Blessed by the message.GET READY!!!
Boom! Straight through the heart! This is real stuff! Love, love, love!
So beautiful, makes me wanna cry. RIP Curtis
I gotta shed a tear when I here this masterpiece RIP Curtis
