Description
Curtis Mayfield used to be one of the vital seminal vocalists and most talented guitarists of his era. But possibly more important is his role as a social critic, and the vital influence his music had on the civil rights movement. “People Get Able” is the black anthem of the 1960s, and on his soundtrack to the 1972 movie Super Fly, fairly than glorifying the blaxploitation imagery of the film, Mayfield wrote and sang one of the vital incisive audio portraits of black The us on record.
In Traveling Soul, Todd Mayfield tells his famously private father’s story in riveting detail. Born into dire poverty, raised in the slums of Chicago, Curtis became a musical prodigy, not only making a song like a dream but also growing into a brilliant songwriter. In the 1960s he became a pioneer, opening his own label and production company and working with many other top artists, including the Staple Singers. Curtis’s life used to be famously cut short by an twist of fate that left him paralyzed, but in his declining health he received the long-awaited recognition of the music industry.
Passionate, illuminating, vivid, and absorbing, Traveling Soul will doubtlessly take its place a number of the classics of music biography.
