ABOUT THE BAND:

Curtis Mayfield was an influential American singer, songwriter, and producer, known for his contributions to soul, funk, and politically conscious music. Rising to fame in the 1960s as the leader of The Impressions, he crafted hits that blended social messages with melodic soul, such as "People Get Ready." His solo work, particularly the soundtrack for Super Fly (1972), solidified his status as a pioneer of socially aware funk, addressing issues like poverty and racial injustice. Mayfield’s smooth falsetto and powerful lyrics left a lasting impact on music and civil rights activism.
