Wonderful, just wonderful so enjoy and comment if you'd like to. With Randy Keith Brown on bass and Lee Goodness on drums. Live 1990 in Germany, third song of the concert.
All i gotta say, is the black musians got it all . soufull, rythum , blues . and stage presence. Curtis is one . he had a voice that wont give. RIP curtis
Curtis was a Master Poet. I studied music during the 60's and majored music in college. I am so VERY glad that I studied music during that time because today there is NO structure to 90% of the music produced today. However, this song was presented in a movie named "The Wire" and brought back all those golden memories of the 60's when it cost 10 cent to make a call in a phone booth. I miss this kind of quality music talking about love and beauty. Today the lyrics are down right disrespectful to Women. And, what hurts me more than anything is the young Women of today are answering when they are called dirty names.
Great post...I'm a big fan, his voice never changed, so sad what happened in 1990. A true musician if he did not get hurt he'd probably still be making music.
I'm unable to post to my account. I've been trying for months to get it straightened out. Glad I could at least comment on this old song. Good memories.
Loved this man, with the Impressions and as a solo artist. Wish he and Bobby Womack could have collaborated, two awesome singers song writers and guitar players, if only!
You wouldn't believe how many people this guy wrote for. He wrote a lot of songs with the music too. The guy was a genius. Curtis Mayfield and Jerry Butler were in the same group (The Impressions)wow!!
If I had a dollar for every time I heard this song and enjoyed the Impressions music, I would give Bill Gates a run for (HIS) money. I think that the version of I'm so proud that he did on the same CD was HEAVENLY.....Beauty in it's purest form. Thanks for posting.
One of the greatest music writers who lived on this planet. There have many versions of this great track. The best is by that great singer who also passed away - Slim Smith
God Bless You Mr. Mayfield May U rest in Paradise!🙏 A freak accident , here in NYC. A huge lightning bolt struck him and he never really recovered. Sad Sad day that was. Peace🙏
On line I found that when Brian Hyland covered this song in 1970 it was produced by Del Shannon it sold a million copies. Del was born in Grand Rapids,MI. grew up in near by Coopersville,MI. his big hit was Runaway and this song Gypsy Woman was a original by Curtis Mayfield.
From nowhere through a caravan around the camp fire light ah lovely woman in motion with hair as dark as night her eyes were like that of a cat in dark that hypnotized me with love she was a gypsy woman she was a gypsy woman she danced around and round to a guitar melody from the fire her face was all aglow how she enchanted me oh how I'd like to hold her near and kiss and forever whisper in her ear I loved a gypsy woman I loved a gypsy woman
Janny P I am a gypsy woman I love to charm and dance by the camp fire light.abundance for the late great king Curtis mayfield and others who wrote and sung thid ssong .... gypsy woman.I. love you soo mich.
MY ALL TIME FAVORITE . A COMMERCIAL SUCCESS . AN ISLAND SETTING UNIQUELY DESCRIBED USUNG VIBRANT LANGUAGE IN TELLING A STORY PREGNANT WITH VIVID SYMBOLS . ONE CAN SEE THE UNINHIBITED GYPSY WOMAN !
Turn Curtis up. Chk the chords in his voice. Then jam again. Noooobody today.... Go deep. Fkyubruno..haaaaaaaaaaaaa. It's🙏 called. Staying power......... free speech....... phftttttttttttttt. Bose

Curtis was an Incredible singer and song writer. We miss him, but he left a music catalog that we can listen to forever.

From nowhere through a caravan
around the camp fire light
ah lovely woman in motion with hair as dark as night
her eyes were like that of a cat in dark
that hypnotized me with love
she was a gypsy woman
she was a gypsy woman
she danced around and round
to a guitar melody from the fire
her face was all aglow
how she enchanted me
oh how I'd like to hold her near and kiss
and forever whisper in her ear
I loved a gypsy woman
I loved a gypsy woman
Lovely Women in Motion
Janny P I am a gypsy woman I love to charm and dance by the camp fire light.abundance for the late great king Curtis mayfield and others who wrote and sung thid ssong .... gypsy woman.I. love you soo mich.

Fun fact :jimi Hendrix coverd this at Woodstock
The bass player is excellent.
A song for you
Curtis wrote this classic but singing this it belongs to Bryan Hyland.
I remember this song from my teen years. Awesome. Where do you get this from? Great dance song Groovee!
From a German Broadcast music show called “Ohne Filter”. I bought this VHS tape from a privat collection.
Who is that conga player. I like, I like
The best from haliax sid smith
Played is part in northern soul
Hy
His back-up group are not his originals; what happened to his "Impressions" bothers?
Doesn't make sense that he's touring without his "family"?
I hated how he made it looked soooooo easy to play the guitar . That style was like no other
Turn Curtis up. Chk the chords in his voice. Then jam again. Noooobody today.... Go deep. Fkyubruno..haaaaaaaaaaaaa. It's🙏 called. Staying power......... free speech....... phftttttttttttttt. Bose
This version doesn't evoke the same melancholy feeling I get from listening to Brian Hyland's version of this song.
Yes, there's a yearning feeling that BH conveys in his version
Brian Hyland ain’t nuttin compared to Mr Mayfield . Mayfield was an unrecognized musical genius
