Whoever is saying that Curtis stole this from John Mayer, SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!! John Mayer was barely a kid when this song was made! Retards I swear-_-
Oh maan, why is this so similar to John's. I dont know what to think about it, maybe the key to success is take some songs from the past and make them great in the present.
I THINK THE LORD WOULD SAY TO EACH OF US "ARE YOU ONBOAED WITH ME OR NOT" CAN YOU RIDE IT TILL THE END, NO MATTER WHAT AND ENDURE? WE WHO "STAY ON" TILL THE LAST STOP, HE WILL IN NO WISE CAST OUT...THINK ABOUT IT
That is a rhetorical question.No need to answer that one.With regards to taste buds.Your definition is slightly out. It's purpose isn't to distinguish what you should and shouldn't eat.Think about it.Eyebrows are there for the purpose of plucking. Are you a 'plucker' You sound like a 'plucker' ;o)
I'm coming around to the view that we live in a spiritual universe. That is the only thing that matters.That at the end of the day is the only thing that remains.Love and hate, joy and pain are more concrete than any passing physical "reality". Rational materialism has its (very limited) place. It answers only how things are not why they are. Religion is the fossilized vulgar form of transcendant spiritual truths. If you want to be truly rational - nothing else but these truths makes sense.
How could someone be atheist? I will never be able to comprehend that not as long as I live...why taste buds? Why eye brows? Clearly planned design...just blows my mind and always will
@Tbaldwin1971 HOW DARE YOU INSULT MY BELIEFS IN GIANT GOD MEN IN THE SKY!!! YOU ARE GOING TO BURN IN ETERNAL HELL, EVIL MONKEY DEMONS ARE GOING TO PEEL THE FLESH FROM YOUR BONES LIKE A BANANA.
I've been listening to "one-hit wonders" and superb bands since 1966. I can't say there's another song that moves me more than this one (Curtis Mayfield, Taylor Dayne, and their accomplished, supporting musicians).
I've got the .mp3 version of "People Get Ready," by the Impressions (of which, Curtis Mayfield is a pivotal member), but I still find myself being drawn-back to this "Live" rendition. So simple, yet so superb.
Probably my favorite rendition of this song. Curtis Mayfield and Taylor Dayne play off of each other exquisitely. Toss in David Sandborn's sax -- as well as the other talented members of the band -- and you have a very soulful and meaningful song that transcendes the years.
Hoping that Curtis "climbed on board." Surely, God had a place already reserved for him.
It is interesting that at Christmas we open "presents", becuase the present moment is the greatest gift that life gives us. It is the only thing we have at all times, the only real thing that never ends. We eventually end up throwing out most christmas presents, because they cannot last forever. But the present moment does.

Awesome! I love Curtis and Taylor is one of my favorite singers AND babes of all time, I have this on VHS from an NBC show at 2 or 3 AM from early to mid 90's I think , there's no reason to hang on to that tape, it's here for posterity.

I just watched Jeff Beck perform an instrumental version of this song last night in Vancouver. What a remarkable piece of music. Transcends all genres. The message and the music are simply classic. Thank you Curtis(and the Impressions).
@ewildy first of all he was a songwriter label owner and a vocal presense and he left behind a tremendous legacy.we people who are darker than blue..was one of his poignants hyms-for afro americans he was the key voice for their civil right movements.after a lot of years i sung a song like Mahalia Jackson did.would you say he had a life time the principle of christian dogmas?
@ewildy It has gospel style, but its just a peace love, and understanding song from a time every second song was in that mode. "Talk about laid back man " Grat song, great version..
So good. So moving. So real and so sadly missed. This is music at its absolute best: face the facts hatemongers you'll never win with SOUL in the world.
@DQdabassist...and if you listen to it as you might a spiritual...it is replete with religious allusion, but the words are just as appropriate for any social or political movement as they are in a church...
@Greenockianx Thank you so much for your comment! :) She loved this type of music, guess I got my good taste from her! I'd love to keep in touch! God Bless
I love listenin to the poetic psalms of the late, GREAT Curtis Mayfield... the female singer who accompanied him was good as well. Not to mention, when viewin classic movies like "Glory Road", it makes us appreciate songs like this even more. Lyfe Jennings and Alicia Keyes composed a well rounded rendition, but of course, there's nothin like the original essence of the old school.
Our collective view of "God" is so unbelievably narrow and exclusive. Broaden your mind a bit in a spirit of love and compassion. So much bigger than the silly labels we've given and the categorization humankind loves so much. LET it be bigger. Stop putting the divine in a box. Love.
@BobElyCCC And when he does get back here, all the European royalty will be turning over the riches to him they've been keeping and collecting for his future return?

However, those people will never be loved like Curtis Mayfield
cant everyone just respect each generation? I'm tired of everyone bashing this generations music! Yes there is alot of stupid fucking artist like Rickk Ross rapping about seeling coke but there are still good musicians that have exposed me to this kind of music like Kanye and Jay-Z! I think that they are great artist in their own right for paying tribute to earlier generations that have inspired them!. So instead of bashing them how about thanking for exposing a new wave of listeners to funk!
@TehDevilBringer I feel you dawg, i recently started listen to Otis redding cause of them. Like Beatles had their time, Michael had his time, Jimmi had his Time, Elvis had his time, Sam Cook had his time, Barry had his time, Tupac and Big had their time. Aaliyah, Lisa, Aretha, Janis had their time. Everybody Has their time on the mike. Ppl need to stop hating every generation has their time on mike. Though not every one deserve it -) Souljaboy etc..
@roman14032 First of all Gaga writes her own music...that makes her above the artists who rely on songwriters to make them stars....doesn't mean I would go out and buy ANYTHING by her.

@teahouse100 so true man, i think people are just becoming egocentric as fuck because of all the technology we have, i myself am not at all religious but the truth is nobody knows. i have tripped acid however and music tripping brings you too a truly special spiritual place. very few artists putting out music with soul comparable to this shit
@rudygetsplenty Yeah I know, absolutely anybody can enjoy this song! I was saying that the subject matter of songs tends to be more superficial and material these days. Sex, money, "party anthems", etc. Or you can look at how popular "artists" are more about shock value rather than the inherent quality of their music - like Lady Gaga.
@teahouse100 Yeah super true about the subject matter. I think that really became the rule at the advent of piracy. You can't sell music anymore, you have to sell the image, and shock sells.
IF THERE IS A BETTER MUSICAL CLIP THAT MOVES YOU LIKE THIS NUMBER, PLEASE LET ME KNOW , GREAT LYRICS ,UNDERSTATED GUITAR GROOVES, JEFF AND JOSH DO A GREAT VERSION ALSO, THIS IS SOUL MUSIC.
@Wesh67300 Yeah Kanye a bugzey, raised so rich he's almost a white boy, thats why he beats white girls like a sissy boy - he CAN'T SING nor can he DANCE - its all machines smoke and illusion - and JayZ - news bulletin his music isn't TIMELESS - like Marvin or Miles, or Al Green - wake up sonny boy
Hahaa ...Good one AND TRUE! ;-) LOL ...Harsh reality of todays music is product, not a whirphool of emotions like it used to be...and TALENT...LOOK AT THAT LINE-UP !!
@2JOHNNYT youre just a pessimist. look as dave grohl, john frusciante, the entire indie scene if youre into that- there are tons of bands out there that are great, its just the audience that changes!
@2JOHNNYT i dont know where you got that from, im saying that there are tons of great musicians out there, they just aren't as popular. i can't stand most of the pop scene, but you dont see me complaining because i decide not to listen to them. and im going to let you know that i'm quite a musician myself, as it is my passion. calling someone blind, dumb and tone deaf without evidence is in itself blind, deaf, and dumb. i'm not calling you those things, so dont get riled up. peace love and dope.
@2JOHNNYT 2 different genres of music... I could see if you said: "Curtis, Marvin, Miles to..." the countless R&B artists who don't write and produce their own music. I'm not sure what age group your in, but I'm 27 and Jay-Z and Kanye West should not even be mentioned with 'The Gentle Genius'.

Curtis shall always remain as one of the best black artists ever for various reasons:
1. Owned all his recordings unlike many black artists of that time.
2. Was at the forefront of civil rights movement helping black people.
3. Preached peace and love between black and white even after his own poverty, deprived upbringing.
4. Produced, wrote, performed music and vocals of all his music.
An unbelievable phenomenon. Thank you God for allowing me to see him twice in London live. wow.
RIP.

Music about anything God now is so taboo. It's unfortunate because these song's contain so much heart and soul; it's on a whole different level.
It seems music today is only about one-night-stands and making money.

@teahouse100 You are right about that. :) A lot of these classic musicians started out with Gospel roots.

@teahouse100 so true man, i think people are just becoming egocentric as fuck because of all the technology we have, i myself am not at all religious but the truth is nobody knows. i have tripped acid however and music tripping brings you too a truly special spiritual place. very few artists putting out music with soul comparable to this shit

@teahouse100 I disagree. Most the people I know who don't believe in God get just as much inspiration from this (or more) than any Christian I know.

@rudygetsplenty Yeah I know, absolutely anybody can enjoy this song! I was saying that the subject matter of songs tends to be more superficial and material these days. Sex, money, "party anthems", etc. Or you can look at how popular "artists" are more about shock value rather than the inherent quality of their music - like Lady Gaga.
teahouse100 3 months ago 2
@teahouse100 Yeah super true about the subject matter. I think that really became the rule at the advent of piracy. You can't sell music anymore, you have to sell the image, and shock sells.

To go from Curtis, Marvin, Miles to JayZ and Kanye can mean only one thing - IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD!

@2JOHNNYT Stupid statement. Music and people change. I wouldve agreed if you had said lil wayne or chris brown. But kanye and JayZ are great artists
Wesh67300 7 months ago
@Wesh67300 Yeah Kanye a bugzey, raised so rich he's almost a white boy, thats why he beats white girls like a sissy boy - he CAN'T SING nor can he DANCE - its all machines smoke and illusion - and JayZ - news bulletin his music isn't TIMELESS - like Marvin or Miles, or Al Green - wake up sonny boy

@2JOHNNYT youre just a pessimist. look as dave grohl, john frusciante, the entire indie scene if youre into that- there are tons of bands out there that are great, its just the audience that changes!

2JOHNNYT 6 months ago
@2JOHNNYT i dont know where you got that from, im saying that there are tons of great musicians out there, they just aren't as popular. i can't stand most of the pop scene, but you dont see me complaining because i decide not to listen to them. and im going to let you know that i'm quite a musician myself, as it is my passion. calling someone blind, dumb and tone deaf without evidence is in itself blind, deaf, and dumb. i'm not calling you those things, so dont get riled up. peace love and dope.

@2JOHNNYT 2 different genres of music... I could see if you said: "Curtis, Marvin, Miles to..." the countless R&B artists who don't write and produce their own music. I'm not sure what age group your in, but I'm 27 and Jay-Z and Kanye West should not even be mentioned with 'The Gentle Genius'.
