no one does it better than curtis ;)

[SonnySoulflaire]

I close my eyes & I go back in time. I shadow the child I was & the happiness that I was too young to understand. I try to hold onto that thought; that feeling & hold it in my heart as I open my eyes again,back to the person that I am.

[Sangria3]

Thanks For This Posting!!! This is one of the most beautiful songs ever!!! It brought chills to my soul back in the day and it still does the same till this day...Curtis Mayfield was one of the best. There are NO entertainers who could even try to duplicate him today.... Thanks again for the memories...

[carliusfloyd]

Curtis Mayfield is FIRE!!!!!

[macaroo47]

The "Live" version is the "Best Soulful" recording of this song, ever !... Thanks to these musicians: Craig McMullen - guitar .. "Master" Henry Gibson - bongos & congas .. Joseph "Lucky" Scott - bass .. Tyrone McCullen - drums .. Curtis Mayfield - guitar & vocals, of course ... I wish you guys were down here, so we could play together again !(C.Mc)

[roguescr1be]

Why is the live version sicker than the LP?

Name one artist today who sounds BETTER live.

I'm waiting...

[detriniman]

@roguescr1be Sorry I cannot help you :)

[jurorr]

@roguescr1be

No can do..

[TalRedSkware]

@roguescr1be Finding just one nowadays' artist who sounds better than him, even in studio, herrr...This is already a challenge.

[jjstreet5]

@roguescr1be between the buried and me. ta-da

[bondboy104]

@roguescr1be TODAY i'm listening to Curtis Mayfield, he sounds great any way you slice it.

[mcgallop]

@roguescr1be dave matthews band

[Zepster77]

@roguescr1be For me it works this way: I listen to the live album with great concentration, also to the people in the background audience. I begin to feel what it must have been like to be there seeing that artist in person. And thank god I have had some wonderful concert experiences, i know how it feels so that's how i get into it without the hangup of : "it does not sound like their record" ... know what i mean?

[ObeyVonZip]

@roguescr1be Because no one will ever replace Curtis Mayfield.

[djjsinclair]

jay z and kanye sampled this on their album Watch The Throne. this original version is too smoov

[GC954]

CRACK..... "THE JOY"

[EthosTheGood]

[laloyyoli1]
