Curtis Mayfield was the dr dre of Chicago, if he had any flaw it seem like most everybody he produced ended up sounding a lil like him
All these years I never knew Billy was the brother of Jerry.

This is a master piece
Is it possible to do a docu on Major Lance and Gene Chandler and Bobby Womack?
I have always loved Billy Butler and the enchanters. I knew that he was the brother of Jerry Butler, but he looks a lot like Curtis Mayfield!!!
