Ian Parker Posted October 6, 2019 Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) Where to start ? I had the great pleasure to see Curtis , twice ! the first time i had tears rolling down my face, from the sheer magic that stood in front of me , he played that Telecaster with absolute ease, he ooozed quality and class, he had us hypnotised . too many songs to list or mention, but for me, his ultimate 'protest' song "People get ready" , makes me wilt. just a fabulous song writer, performer, guitarist, drummer, etc etc. he was a true legend and a true superstar . I was at Nottingham Palais, a bank holiday sunday night, (Kev Roberts do) when i heard the news he had sadly died, i went to a phone box and phoned my cousin, thats how important to us, Curtis Mayfield was Edited October 6, 2019 by Ian Parker 1
Daved Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 So many excellent songs over decades, but for the modern soul heads..... 1
25miles Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 remember seeing this late one night on the old grey whistle test many years ago...…..sheer quality without doubt one of the greatest musicians ever to live 2
Tim Richmond Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 On Millennium eve, I played 'People Get Ready' as my first tune of the new Millennium, didn't take a lot of thought to choose it from all the tunes I had heard/owned over 40 years. He will always be 'the gentle genius' !!! 1
Westender Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Where do you start....He was one of the greats. A complete one off, brilliant and original. What song to pick? Frankly you could choose dozens such is the quality of his recordings. I really like this oh so gentle ballad. 1
Smudger Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 There are no words that can say what an influence he had ,absolute genius that stirs emotions just listening to his wonderful songs and lyrics. 1
Ian Parker Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 the vocal arrangement on 'Can't Satisfy' is so good ! just wonderful 1
