One of the greatest musicians of our time with a sound smooth and clean that spoke to the conditions of people in this country. His writing skill brought out the best in artists like Gladys Knight, the JBees and more. His musical contribution goes back into the sixties doowop scene along side the "Iceman" Jerry Butler as the Impressions. My personal affinity for Curtis Mayfield started with my father playing his music in the house. As the vinyl spun, I would stare and stare at the album cover. The Curtdom label. Superfly. The songs that spoke of love, hope, realism, determination made him larger than life to me. As you go through his discography, understand what he sings resonates through every black man with soul. Peace. Wellness. Oneness. Check out @Albumism’s Tweet: https://twitter.com/Albumism/status/1003244952799924225?s=09
