  • Like any other 'art', music eventually sinks to the level of appealing to lowest common denominator before somone comes along and pulls it up out of the gutter.

    It happened to rock (metal and derivatives) and it happened to soul (gangsta' rap and derivatives)......who will be the saviour.

    excelente cancion del maestro Curtis grandioso genio musical vivo siempre en su musica quien iba pensar ke 30 años despues seguiria sonando la buena melodia mejor que la musica de hoy en dia en fin Descanse en Paz Maestro Curtis

  • This is the song that launched the groove of the futures. Although not credited

    on the album,that's Louis (Lui Lui) Satterfield on electric bass jammin' with

    my hero, Master Henry Gipson. Curtis was the best storyteller this side of Smokey Robinson.
