  • Thanks for posting this. This tune really shows the greatness of Curtis and what an uncommonly wonderful person he was. A truly great man as well as a truly great songwriter and performer. We are richer because of his work and poorer by his too early death. RIP Curtis Mayfield

  • Respect my brotha.....

  • Curtis was a truly great artist. You need to check out all his songs. He spoke on everthing from love to politics to racial pride. His music has a message that will always be relevent

  • Oh yes! Straight to fav's!

    Thank you and to Bob for sharing the best!

  • Pure gold !!!,.ktf.

  • this is soul at its best

  • Real nice! Thanks Bob

  • If more music was like this, the world would be a whole lot better.

    Something about the way Curtis seemed to capture the sounds of a large city at night, at least in my head. The horn arrangements, the strings, especially on "the makings of you".

    Curtis Mayfield and Bobby Womack are my two favorite soul singers, next to Otis Redding.

  • i THINK THIS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LOVE SONG IN THE WORLD

    THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU TUBE

    QUEEN OF RAREGROONE

  • what a gift...

  • beautiful description.. ..love.. ..thanks

  • SAY THAT THEN!! PRINCE all the way!!!CURTIS MAYFIELD must be PRINCE'S mentor because this song sounds EXACTLY like PRINCE.CURTIS IS THE KING!!!40 STARS!!! ONE LOVE!!

  • Today is whole lot easier for a person to escape poverty but can a person keep their soul while freeing himself from poverty or would he let distractions and illusions keep him asleep. Curtis gives you clues on how to escape poverty in his music without risking your soul.

  • This Brother was just Great period!

  • More than connected with his inner self. He was a great social commentator too. Wish especially black music would rediscover its roots without the compulsion to swear every other word to get the message across. Mayfield did it with a class that is missing from much of today's "music" (for want of a better word).

    As one from the Zimbabwean pre-independence past, this music was so inspirational especially songs like We the People Who are Darker than Blue and People Get Ready. He was a gem. MHRIP

  • never sounds better than on a rainy sunday morning

  • A man who is truly supafly, I'm so in love with the makings of you. You will always be my beautiful brother who is darker than blue. Love and light always.

  • I'm definitely gonna have this played at my wedding - I'm planning the big day right now and it's fun deciding what songs will be played. I don't think my fiance and I will disagree on this one!

  • beautiful

  • wow.....good one

  • Curtis missed his calling he was suppose to be a pulpit preacher in the gospel for the Lord. He was so full of soul and so connected to his inner self.

  • i would say yes you'll right in chicago,ill his mother rented a chruch from my dad i was very young then

  • beautiful song i love it!

  • very smooth tune..

  • good song

  • WHOOO! Talk about sitting back and enjoying real FEEL GOOD music eh? Well... this is it!

  • ACE KTF BOB

  • Great track Bob

  • Curtis!!!!

  • its pretty messed up how he died by accident

    d devil is always takin away ppl who bring so much love&life 2 ppl

    RIP Curtis Mayfield aka D BESS DAT EVA DID IT

  • That's not the devil, that's God

  • Curtis was message music singer....back in the day. I love it !!! RIP Bro. Mayfield

  • this is hot!!!

  • this song is unreal. the world would be a better place if people would listen to this kind of music.i love my rap but theres notting like this

  • Sooo true. I just discovered this on my Curtis Mayfield Anthology and it's such a beautiful song. I play this on Sunday evenings after dinner. I sit on my deck with a beer and watch the sun go down in Chi-town and listen to this song.

  • why don't radio stations bump this type of jam everyday. I love rap but rappers have become dull with all the bragging about blinging and having things worth $100k while looking down on us oldsmobile drivers who still work for inflation. These cats kept grounded during there prime. Al was not beefing with Stevie, who was not beefing, with Curtis, who in turn didn't hate on Teddy. But these fools dun' lost their way.

  • Gotta love this. There's nothing, no one better than Curtis.

    Thank you Curtis for all your music. You made and still make our hearts smile.

  • swampyboy same, im only 15 and wasnt born into this as a kid, but even at my age i can tell that curtis is a true king!! his music makes u feel so good!

  • Amen brother.... Thats what its all about! 99.9% of 13-25 year olds are missing out on these hidden treasures! It aint about hearing the rip offs they bring out these days... just taken the good old song and added the word nigga to it...

  • Thanks so much for posting this song julieoliverio. Your description of this song is beautiful and exactly correct. Thanks for sharing

  • newyears eve my bro gives me a mixed disc leading off with this gem! Needless to say I haven't ventured on to any other track! This song is beyond beautiful!

  • great song, one of my favorites for curtis.

  • If music is played in heaven, this is it.

  • That's the truest quote ever.......those rhodes organs from 3:20-3:44 are timeless......Curtis Superfly Mayfield The Legend

  • this was real music. this is DEAL!

  • I love this song,it's truly real music,WOW!!!

  • i'm twenty years old and i most definitely wasn't born during his era of music, but he's the truth. i'm a huge fan of curtis mayfield

  • My Bun,

  • God blessed humanity with a songwriter of poetic verse. Soulstirring!!

  • Righteous Love Curtis!!!! Thanks for the post... nice comment as well Hunkstki... ;-)

  • cutis could be the most underated musical force (mid 60's - mid 70's). made grooves to heal people and still isnt spoke of as much as he should. god bless.

  • I feel like a teenager going on 50 when I hear this song. Curtis Mayfield is deep. Know can touch the pure talent of Mr. Mayfield.

  • i came around this song

    and i was like wow, this is beautiful.

    i am now a Curtis Mayfield fan. =]

  • very nice

  • This song has the best groove! It juat makes u feel good:)

  • This is a true soul masterpiece. It epitomizes the perfect Philly soul sound.

  • chicago where curtis was born along with that sound is jerry butler, major lance and jean clandler of duke of earl

  • When I was a kid, i used to think that Curtis was from Philly because he was just TOO COOL.

  • This is the perfect song for some love!!!!!

  • so smooth.....so nice.....

  • it lost its soul.

  • favorited.

  • I like
