Jessie James,Arcades,Curtis Mayfield.


Recommended Posts

I have a feeling Curtis never heard of either 45. Triad was based in El Cerrito, California and besides KSOL (San Francisco) playing "The Soul P.W.', I can't find it getting airplay anywhere and it didn't get  reviewed in any of the trade papers. The Jessie James 45 was a flop- no mention in the trades and no signs of airplay.  

      On the other hand, it's possible he knew of both and had them pulled off the market.

Don't forget that Curtis Mayfield did it himself with "You've been cheatin" and had to give Motown some of the publishing. Happened all the time and is still happening with the current Ed Sheeran court case.

       I bet you're thinking of "Can't Satisfy" which is basically  The Isley Brothers' "This Old Heart Of Mine" slowed down-
