Mayfield is truly one of the greats, a pioneer in funk and socially aware R&B. He received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1995. Inducted into Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1999 (Solo Performer) and previously (1991) as a member of The Impressions. Inducted into Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2000. One of the greatest talents in all of soul music: vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, producer and label owner.

Emerging out of the doo wop scene of the late '50s and going on to create ground-breaking work with the Impressions, and later as one of the founding fathers of funk in the late '60s and '70s. Such a prolific songwriter - not only penning stacks of hits for himself and The Impressions but conjuring hits and, indeed, entire albums for many other artists.

I got into Curtis in the early '80s when I saw a bunch of his albums cheap in a record shop in Manchester. All his early '70s classics for 79p each, brand new, I couldnt resist. In 1983 I was lucky enough to see him perform at the Glastonbury festival.

Great memory. It was so sad to see his awful decline. RIP Curtis - you were one of the best. To me Curtis is like a distant cousin who could express feelings that most musicians had trouble communicating with such skill. If you had a bad day listen to Curtis and you feel better, because a bad Curtis day is way worst than your day.

This man had the gift that few others had, To take on life's painful experiences and put them to music, Drugs, Poverty, Welfare, Crime, Bereavement, civil rights, violence, Grief, just to name a few. He could make you feel your not alone and better days will come if you try hard enough, I feel a loss that Curtis is no longer with us but his music keeps you hanging on. He's left a long legacy which i am grateful to have been touched by his music.

Disclaimer: This is one of those questionable picks that pepper the list: 16 years of music in a greatest hits double album. Not sure that’s a particularly fair means of assessment or an accurate picture of Curtis Mayfield as an artist. For the sake of fairness I’d be happy to go straight to the late-‘60s and early ‘70s political flowering and Blaxploitation soundtrack cuts and skip the Motown-esque love songs of the Impressions years, as fine as they are. If, however, Rolling Stone had made the sensible rule against including greatest hits albums (which they really should have done), I’ll happily take Curtis, Roots, or the Superfly soundtrack and put it up against any other album in this general numerical range on the RS list ( Curtis, his 1970 solo debut must have been a mammoth shock to the system: the opening cut, “If There’s a Hell Below, We’re All Going to Go” Holy gawd! Get a load of me!

A list of society’s ills followed by the lyric, “Nixon talking about, Don’t Worry.” America is great already.) Now I discover Superfly is already on the RS list at no. 72, one hundred-plus long albums away, despite several of its songs appearing on this anthology. I don’t get it. Anyway, sailing on.

End Disclaimer. In eighth grade, I bought a cassette tape from the bargain rack at Kemp Mill Music (same place I bought Hysteria, my contribution at #464, full price though) with a cool Black Caesar, Fred Williamson-looking dude in a colorful suit holding a gun in one hand and a scantily dressed babe in the other on the cover. It was entitled Greatest Pimpin’ Hits or something similar and anthologized many of the classic soundtrack cuts of ‘70s Blaxploitation-era cinema. Isaac Hayes’s “Shaft,” of course; Bobby Womack’s “Across 110 th Street” and Marvin Gaye’s “Troubleman” are other ones I remember, along with Curtis Mayfield’s “Superfly.” Come to think “Pusherman” and “Freddie’s Dead” were on the tape as well. I would imagine three tunes making Curtis the leading representative of Greatest Pimpin’ Hits. If the pimp shoe fits. I loved this cassette tape.
