About the artist

Curtis Mayfield

Curtis Mayfield was a trailblazing soul singer, songwriter, and producer whose influence can still be felt all over the music industry today. With his unmistakable falsetto vocals and socially conscious lyrics, Mayfield was a musical force to be reckoned with. Born in Chicago in 1942, Mayfield got his start in music as a member of the Impressions, where he quickly established himself as a talented vocalist and songwriter. His unique blend of gospel-infused soul and politically charged lyrics set him apart from his contemporaries, earning him a dedicated fan base and critical acclaim. In 1970, Mayfield embarked on a successful solo career, releasing a string of hit albums and singles that cemented his reputation as a musical innovator. His classic album "Superfly", the soundtrack to the hit blaxploitation film of the same name, is considered one of the greatest soul albums of all time. Mayfield's music tackled important social issues such as civil rights, poverty, and drug abuse, earning him a reputation as a musical activist. His hits like "Move On Up" and "People Get Ready" remain anthems of the civil rights movement, inspiring generations of musicians and activists to continue the fight for justice and equality. Despite facing personal and professional challenges throughout his career, Mayfield remained a powerful and influential force in the music industry until his untimely death in 1999. His legacy lives on through his timeless music, which continues to inspire and uplift listeners around the world. Curtis Mayfield will forever be remembered as a true musical pioneer and a trailblazer in the world of soul music.
