Product Details

Curtis Mayfield spent the late '60s and early '70s rewriting what soul music could say and do, moving from the silky street-corner harmony of the Impressions into a solo career that put unflinching social commentary over lush, orchestrated funk. His falsetto carried the weight of the civil rights era forward into the Nixon years, turning the Chicago South Side into a moral landscape that still resonates today.

The definitive collection of Curtis Mayfield’s reflective, soul moving, evocative hits. Includes everything from the political to the romantic, from cuts from his genre-defining Superfly (“Freddie’s Dead) to statement makers like “(Don’t Worry) If there’s a hell below, we’re all going to go.”
