There's not enough time in the day to talk about all the ways that I believe Curtis Mayfield was a genius. He just was. His work with the Impressions we've already talked about. This may be the only solo Curtis I own on vinyl right now, but it's so damn good. Curtis seemed to have a way of harnessing the positivity in his societal rage that few posses. And, thank the good lord above he did. We certainly need more of it. If an album like this doesn't encourage you to want to make a positive change, well, I'm not sure what will. I mean, it includes these two songs alone....
