Curtis Mayfield was one of the dominant figures of soul music for three decades.
This performance, filmed at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1987, finds Curtis on fine form. His distinctive falsetto vocals and fine guitar playing are in evidence on a classic set that spans his career from early Impressions hits such as « Gypsy Woman » and « It’s Alright » through to his solo classics including « Move On Up », « Freddie’s Dead » 8theme from « Superfly »), « If There’s A Hell Below », « We’re All Going To Go » and « People Get Ready ».
