Curtis Mayfield was my patient in Atlanta .... he was one of the kindest, humble and gentle man .... I was so nervous to meet him ... and be one of his physicians ...he is truly a Legend
I've never heard anyone referencing to Curtis Mayfield as genius.. but this brother takes a back seat to no one when it comes to musical talent. you don't get more genius than this man..
There had to be a conspiracy to change black music! Listen to this! Powerful music with LIVE Instruments! Pure talent!!! The message behind the music was powerful too!
You're rite, it was and is controlled by the white Jewish ppl. True facts the musical artiste of today have to be controlled conditioned and confined to what the money suppliers want, so that they will always managed/slaved them. Hence the beautiful one, (Prince) wore the Slave symbol Documentaries exist on this topic
you answered your own question black musiq to powerful too spiritual they wanted too break all that up so they kill off certain artist poison few, give few cancer
I wish i could give this a thousand likes i was 11 years old when this dropped and this was men where men and real women stood by their man through thick and thin.
SAME HERE. THE PEOPLE THAT I GREW UP WITH IN THE PROJECTS ARE AND WILL ALWAYS BE MY FAMILY. MUSIC TODAY JUST KEEPS ON LOOPING AROUND AND AROUND. IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY SOUL TO IT. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
R.I.P. Curtis... Timeless composition and execution. A truly impressive work of art (the entire album) which, to my ears, sounds even better nearly 50 yrs. after release.
Just listening to this tune is giving me the shivers. This is what you call music.. Hearing the string instruments playing, the percussionist doing their ting, mmmmm the bass, the horns, rhythm guitar and the soulful sounds of the late great Curtis Mayfield just does it for me.. He made some great stuff and he WILL be sadly missed by US all. May his music live on forever 🙏🏾✊🏾❤
This is phenomenal and classic. These young people today don't nothing bout real music. Music and words for your soul. Ole' school music will always be the BEST!!!
This is one cool cat. As a white man that grew up in the bay area with the brothers and sisters listening to their music. I GET. IT! Most peckerwoods don't. Oh yeah ( I can dance too ) amazing artist from an amazing time. Miss you brother.
When you hear this all you can think about how much pride and love we had for our own self as black men and women I do remember how much fun it was to be in love and happy.
can't be faded.......the musical arrangement is something out of another world.........i want you so bad can't even get mad at you!!!!! A POET...A LEGEND...A KING!!!!!!!!!!!!! could live with you in solitude and need no one else.......R.I.P. Mayfield the KING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Aljenard, nothing for me to add, as you really, covered Curtis Mayfield's greatness, and pure superiority, as a natural gifted musician, composer, and singer. My all-time favorite.
@@tonyagratton4927 Hi Toyna, thanks for your reply, I, sene that, this Curtis Mayfield love ballad would fit your appreciation, of expression of love by Curtis, go to Curtis Mayfield - "The Making of you" and -My Deceiving Heart" press HERE ON YOU TUBE search bar. take care. Walter D. J.
Cuba Gooding Sr had one of the most unique vocals of that era along with David Ruffin. Many of these groups had major, top shelf lead singers...Intruders, Dramatics, Spinners, Blue Magic all had these incredible Lead singers. Oh and the instrumental arrangements where 2nd to none
What happened to those days when there was love and peace. When men and women truly loved and respected one another. This was the jam! Every time I hear it I am on top of the world!
One of the Greatest movies and soundtracks of all time, I grew up at this time, in this neighborhood in NYC, and watching this takes me back. Rest In Peace To Curtis Mayfield and Ron O'Neal and Thank You Gentlemen for this Amazing Masterpiece ...
In 1972 Curtis gave me the line "could live with you in solitude and need no one else" I met my wife in high school Lake Clifton 40 years later were happily married Curtis you were the man no one ever did it better
You said it well Grown Folks because it's grown folk that loves this music! Off the chart! Under rated Curtis - one of the most prolific song writers, singers and musicians of OUR time!
+Shah-Allah Shabazz The thing about it, you gotta be l o o k i n g for the good music today, cause it definitely ain't on the radio. I mean, I'ma assume it was an everyday thing to hear hear Curtis croon like this on W3SOUL or WBLS or KJLH back in your day. But today, music is not just a business...it's an i n d u s t r y. Most of today's music ain't art...it's product. So, while I do agree that music will never reinvent what artists like Curtis and Donny and Marvin and Stevie and James brought to the game, there are still a w e s o m e artists out there who will continue to tread waters these legendary old heads never touched. I'm talking about Jesse Boykins III, Georgia Ann Muldrow, Charles Bradley, Kamasi Washington, The Internet, etc. How d i d I find out about these artists? I dig, homie.
+Theodore Huxtable also check out LEON BRIDGES. there are some others but they are not mainstream. and you have to search for them because they're few and far between. but they are out there and could use the support to be around for a while.
@wallace brown It was! I remember. I got a "Superfly" winter coat with fake fur grey collar and black crush velvet that came down almost to my ankles! I was only in the 6th Grade! LOL!
Yup the year I was born, my uncle's use to put headphones on me playing this type of music. That's how they got me to fall asleep before they hit the club and streets 😁
Curtis Mayfield. The. Soul. Singer. Brilliant lyrics, timeless. This record played ALL OVER Chicago! People would actually go into a trance on the dance floor. Mr. Mayfield made us a Better Version of ourselves. We are FOREVER grateful.
June 3 Grew up with Mr Mayfield in our house, tho I was young that mystical voice of yester years still brings my loving late sister Carolyn whom suddenly died in 1969 back home in my heart she did not go home before meeting all the greats as the late great man Mr Curtis Mayfield May he remain in Sweet Peace with my late beautiful sister and all those gone too soon,
This movie was cold as ice, but the Superfly Soundtrack was like a movie in itself. I was one years old when it came out.now I’m 51 [2021] and I’ve ALWAYS had it [Superfly Soundtrack] in EVERY car I ever owned. Thank you Curtis Mayfield for writing for the ghetto and those who live there. [posted November 29, 2021]
Omg...I'm, really miss the good times we, had in 1972!!..The, dudes, car's, clubs.. Everything, from that era I, went to the show to see the movie 3 times. ~~~
This brother was the man. Watch this movie Super Fly a few weeks ago and it always take me back to the smooth music of the 70's. Chilling outside in the summer time and hearing my brother play this on his record player. Yeah I said record player. And we b outside dancing to the tunes of some Smooth Mr. Curtis Mayfield. U were the man and still is the man. Thanks a million times for ur music Mr. Mayfield.
This my shit gets me through a long night working that night shift. So smooth. 70s music had so much meaning and heart and soul in it. Makes u wanna get in a glass house and go out and get some money.
I ordered Superfly on ON Demand for $2.99 last weekend and damned if I'm not going to do the same thing this weekend! I just loved this movie and the soudtrack was nothing short of phenominal. Gotta love Curtis Mayfield...
It is my money and I spend it how I like. Keep your negative comments to yourself. You don't even know me. You are name calling so I am sure you are very immature!
+Angel McKnight I bought the movie from the itunes store. I love the scene in the club with Curtis playing! Listening to this song up there first thing this morning.
Curtis (The Story Teller) was one of our greatest. This is back when all the entertainers had their own style. Not like today where everybody tries to sound alike. Damn I miss those days.
MAXI COAT WITH LARGE WING COLLARS, TURTLE NECK SWEATER, SLACKS & A FRESH PAIR OF FLAGG BROTHERS.......NOW WHERES 125TH STREET? (r.i.p Curtis & Ron O'Neal)
Love this song. Love Curtis Mayfield. He had a gazillion hits with The Impressions, and a gazillion more on his own. Phenomenal singer and musician. None can compare. Rest in peace. Heaven will be sounding pretty good up there.
I love Curtis. It's always a miracle to me that his delicate, beautiful, spidery voice soars with such presence over so many instruments. Brilliant guy.
One of the best tracks on a truly great album. Those strings are so luscious. The bass is on point! And...that guitar ...is...fierce! This recording..one of the best ever...is Curtis Mayfield's masterpiece. And this from the man who wrote PEOPLE GET READY, WE'RE A WINNER & GYPSY WOMAN....played guitar on Isaac Hayes' version of WALK ON BY....among other accomplishments.
man this shit starts out so smooth. I could listen to that intro all day. just takes me back to the 90s. even tho it's before that it was released but it's when I first heard it. man to be young again with the knowledge I have.just miss when people put real emotions into their music. Kenny Williams. back than they was going thru something and had to go in the booth and tell it.
This is so good, I saw the movie when it was new, filmed in my old "Hood" in NYC...Yes I'm old, have it on Vhs and DVD, Also have the cd and a new unopened anniversary cd..And the Car 1971 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible all pimped out, It was the dream car of every boy back home...Amazing soundtrack.Thank you Curtis and Ron, Rest In Peace you guys...

Curtis Mayfield should have received an Oscar for the music score!!!! There has never been a better music score !!!!
Trouble man by marvin gaye is a close 2nd. Shaft also
Amen!!! Straight 🔥!
This album was too mind blowing for the Academy! They were scared of revolution.
That shaft score was. Great. Bro
I agree with everyone Curtis Mayfield Shaft
Stevie Wonder, Isaac Hayes, Curtis, James Brown, Willie Hutch, Barry White, Lonnie Liston Smith, Roy Ayers, Grover Washington Jr., Aretha Franklin, Sly Stone , Van McCoy, Patrice Rushen and George Clinton were music game changers in the sixties and seventies. Their music still gets you off your ass and makes your head bop back and forth. Great music never dies!

Thanks bro
And of course donny osmond
Lets not forget the Isleys, Stevie, Brothers Johnson and God Jimi!!
This album swept the country, and still stands up! Curtis is a legend!
Curtis Mayfield should have gotten a Grammy for the best score for the movie Superfly .Every Damn song was bad ass.
Yes, INDEED!
Yes. 💯
my opinion:he should have won the oscar for best score and best song too...
yes he should have won a grammy. but they eventually (1994) gave him a lifetime achievement award.
I thought Freddie's Dead won a Grammy. The whole album is Super Good. I was very surprised to hear "I'm Your Pusher Man," in the movie, "Hangover II."
This guy should go down in history as on of the most influential artists EVER !!
He was & they know, But he wasn't wit dat Bull & they Chose Quincy, he played their game ...
HE IS . . Top 5 easy
Every musicians father figure or they’re tone deaf.
Absolutely !!!!!
Absolutely!!! OG Funk Specialist
Curtis Mayfield was my patient in Atlanta .... he was one of the kindest, humble and gentle man .... I was so nervous to meet him ... and be one of his physicians ...he is truly a Legend
What a privilege to have him as a patient, I assume this was after his accident?
That is too cool! 🎉
I've never heard anyone referencing to Curtis Mayfield as genius.. but this brother takes a back seat to no one when it comes to musical talent. you don't get more genius than this man..
I saw this Movie in London I was 14. I am 62 and still listening!
There had to be a conspiracy to change black music! Listen to this! Powerful music with LIVE Instruments! Pure talent!!! The message behind the music was powerful too!
You're rite, it was and is controlled by the white Jewish ppl. True facts
the musical artiste of today have to be controlled conditioned and confined to what the money suppliers want, so that they will always managed/slaved them.
Hence the beautiful one, (Prince) wore the Slave symbol

Curtis Mayfield hands down, is God Sent!!! The Tracks are TIMELESS!!!
Best soundtrack ever of the 70's the movie was Superfly .
The best album in history is Superfly.
If you're talking 70's, Claudine (Soundtrack and the movie) can give it a run for the money.

Curtis (The Story Teller) was one of our greatest. This is back when all the entertainers had their own style. Not like today where everybody tries to sound alike. Damn I miss those days.
Who in their right mind gives this a thumbs down? It's beautiful. It's brilliant
This score is a Masterpiece. In my opinion 1 of the greatest ever and the film a classic. Ron O'Neal played the role to the hilt
Over 40 years old, and is one of the best Stepper's sounds in Chicago!!!
The production on this track is still timeless and amazing🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love listening to my 70s music this is real music at its best!!!
One of the best soundtracks ever to this day make want to watch Superfly right now who with me?
This piece right here is timeless you can play it in the year of 10,000 it'll never get old.

I hadn't thought about Flagg brothers shoes in years . They were the bomb back in the day . Thanks for the memory.
I wore the Cape coat and hat ensemble to the Oakland California clubs during late 1974.
You forgot the Pork Chop sideburns and flawless perm🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Simple et sophistiquè belle mèlodie 2022. 50 ans le morceau de musique, absolu chef d' oeuvre Curtis Mayfield 2022.
Love this song. Love Curtis Mayfield. He had a gazillion hits with The Impressions, and a gazillion more on his own. Phenomenal singer and musician. None can compare. Rest in peace. Heaven will be sounding pretty good up there.
I love Curtis. It's always a miracle to me that his delicate, beautiful, spidery voice soars with such presence over so many instruments. Brilliant guy.
One of the best tracks on a truly great album. Those strings are so luscious. The bass is on point! And...that guitar ...is...fierce! This recording..one of the best ever...is Curtis Mayfield's masterpiece. And this from the man who wrote PEOPLE GET READY, WE'RE A WINNER & GYPSY WOMAN....played guitar on Isaac Hayes' version of WALK ON BY....among other accomplishments.
I always wondered who did that guitar on walk on by thats some bad ass guitar playin.
Harry Harding Yeah...it is.
I keep asking everyone who the backing musicians were?
Maureen Elliston The backing musicians on SUPERFLY? I'm gonna find out.
good
I never understand how Curtis Mayfield songs get even one dislike?

A pure classic sound by Curtis Mayfield. Loved the 70's and this movie. Never forget going to the Fox Theatre in Philly to see it.
man this shit starts out so smooth. I could listen to that intro all day. just takes me back to the 90s. even tho it's before that it was released but it's when I first heard it. man to be young again with the knowledge I have.just miss when people put real emotions into their music. Kenny Williams. back than they was going thru something and had to go in the booth and tell it.
Very good soul and Jazz music.
Excellent
The man the movement the score 😎great legendary Curtis Mayfield 😍💥
A fabulous and unique singer song writer.
This is so good, I saw the movie when it was new, filmed in my old "Hood" in NYC...Yes I'm old, have it on Vhs and DVD, Also have the cd and a new unopened anniversary cd..And the Car 1971 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible all pimped out, It was the dream car of every boy back home...Amazing soundtrack.Thank you Curtis and Ron, Rest In Peace you guys...
