If you haven't heard of Curtis Mayfield, do yourself a favor, and give it a listen. If his superlative songwriting skills, smooth guitar licks, and sweet falsetto vocals aren't enough to grab you, consider this; his messages of love, compassion, perseverance, and temperance are just as socially, and politically relevant today as they were during the civil rights movement. Curtis, we miss you.
"Now is always the right time,
With something positive in your mind,
Whenever something pulls you down,
Just get back up and hold your ground."
--Curtis Mayfield (6/3/42 to 12/26/99) |
