most of the people here probably groove to his hooks sampled by hip hop artists without even knowing |

yea, perhaps so. he died in 1997-2000 thereabouts. i think my fave song by him is "we people who are darker than blue". |

Superfly..is well.. SUPERfly:) |

true :) but i think his socio-political commentary is really special too. that's what i was getting at when i said curtis is even better than marvin gaye, who was also a brilliant lyricist when it came to talking about society. |

yeah I got what you said..but Superfly is also his version of a subtle soulful social commnetary on what he saw as the ills of the ghetto life.. |

I prefer Curtis but I wouldn't say he's better... plus Marvin gets extra points for being shot by his own father. |

pointless fact #38 ex-tears for fears member curt smith named his band mayfield because, as he says, curt is mayfield. geddit? |

"right on for the darkness" what song was this sampled in? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
but superfly is a bit more fictional than biographical just due to its nature of being a film soundtrack.. it's great but it's still very much informed by the movie, as opposed to mayfield's albums. |

Curtis was the man....he just got dealt a couple bad hands, the paralysis and early death. I mean, c'mon.....a light fixture fell on top of him at a show, putting him in a wheelchair. That's tragic in it's own. As long as I am living, I will always have the back of any Curtis Mayfield praise. Although the Superfly soundtrack was his least personal contribution, I think that it was his finest instrumentally.....VERY PIMPIN'. I favor Curtis over Marvin anyday....he played instruments as well as sang.....more rounded as an artist than Marvin......and I agree, Marvin indeed gets the raised eyebrow award for his final departure. |
