[liic]

steve urkel on bass :D

[csong808]

That's Omar Hakim on drums and Victor Bailey on bass. Stellar band here.

[csong808]

RIP, Curtis and Hiram Bullock.

[csong808]

The best live music show ever...

[silmalila]

Damn. This is good stuff.

DAMN!

[ColdFlowMusic]

This is so dope it sounds like a soulful young jeezy song lol

[VanishOxiActionMax]

The bass is just killing me

[silmalila]

@VanishOxiActionMax Right? Delicious to my ears!

[VanishOxiActionMax]

@silmalila I mean killing with its power and awesomeness!

[noiserrr]

Curtis is the man.

[iHipHopIsNotDead]

i heard this song in a game called narc,

back then i was 12 years young lol

back then i didnt know what real music was.

Glad i came across it again.

[TheDharmavoid]

Dear pissedoff, You sound like you missed the entire point of hip hop, much less music altogether. Hip hop started off as a way to bring peopke together, literally in the parks of Brooklyn. It was never a racial issue, so its sad and counter productive to call out eminems race, or to think that hip hop is merely the environment of Black males. it has always transcended race, as all races have played a huge role in our culture. I feel that Eminem does not fuck with the artist you mention

[tekrennweg69]

@TheDharmavoid yeah..

[silmalila]

@TheDharmavoid Damn straight.

[pissedoff7771]

he never got the right recognition for his music.i remember we are winners they would not let it play it on the southern radio stations.as for m&m i hate that cracker.hes always fucking with people he know he can get away with.the bitch is a coward.he willnot fuck with rappers like wu tang mac ten corrupt jay z  naz ghost face killer.m&m is a fucking punk who needs to go back to his trialer the want to be black mother fucker.hes a theif.his punk ass.

[SessionCinematic]

i like how the white guy completed curtis mayfields performance

[DONNIMETROPOLIS313]

@SessionCinematic .... i think the word youre looking for is complimented.



[SessionCinematic]

@DONNIMETROPOLIS313 thanks

[November10th1775USMC]

TAKE THE MONKEY!

[WALKERGUITAR]

I love Hiram's gumby leg dance! Superfly

[TheLazamoto]

David Sanborn is in the groove on the Sax!  YEAH!

[wildangel48506]

Stop the hate great music...

[jjaaccoo]

I love Hiram's slinky outfit and the nice solo, miss him:(

[OCPD]

The show "Night Music" was one of the best music shows EVER.

[blackdynamite3018]

1 of my heroez

[JeromeBarber1]

I'VE WRITTEN A (SUPER FLY) SCRIPT!! & A SHAFT script!! COME TO MY PAGE N CHECK OUT MY RECENT VIDEO I WANNA MAKE IT GO VIRAL SO HOLLYWOOD CAN SEE HOW A GOOD REMAKE CAN BE DONE!!!

[mpmrecords]

Curtis himself sounds bad ass, but this is a super lame version of this tune. With all the silly 80s keyboard sounds and sax...  I feel like the bass player and the keyboard player are overplaying. Hiram and Curtis sound great though, and even Omar starts to sound silly at the very end. I guess that was just the times...

[jeffj257]

yea im your nigger in the alley yea im pusherman

[MyHARRICANE]

I am not surprised there is almost a million views these guys were feeling that music love it!

[kohisiyo]

この絹の様な肌触りすら感じる,軽やかで美しい歌声は,カーティ­スならではの天性のものでしょう。

「本物の実力見せる」とは彼の様な♪を披露する方だけの特権です­ね。

upされた方に感謝します。

Miracle Voice!!!

[cdjblue52]

Curtis was serious about his music. He didn't do no grinnin or dippin.....he was relaying messages with an impact (if you were listening). A real poet, musician and preacher.

[Vavazelus]

I am that nigga in the alley. Maybe a good reason not to venture in da alley.

[TheAnnafisher]

genius

[bigpaulyfrombklyn]

Sizzling oozing funk. Turns my white soul to black. RIP brother Curtis.

[HybridStoner]

thumbs up if you agree with Freshwaterkangaroo

[lowgrau]

that bass player

[ursonate1]

LOVE U CURTIS

[traslomita]

todo puto



[RonnieRambin]

all they have to do is legalize all drugs for a few months and, the deficit would cease, lol, i dont care any way cause that don't affect poor people like me.

[joetylerdale]

Damn, unbelievable, but it sounds even better now!

[jcbluefunk]

mister "superfly" himself! RIP Curtis

[faileb0b]

[billyhammet]

[amphilly215]

Classic

[basquait1]

This is the real deal ...no additives(remixes) nor substitutes (rap version)!

[crouchhill]

GREATEST WHITE MAN TO PICK UP THE SAX, DAVID SANBORN

[crouchhill]

MY FAVOURITE SINGER OF ALL TIME. R.I.P.

[DaphneRhiannon]

so awesome..... i've always loved him

[pretorious700]

back when music had soul

[TheAteam30294]

when he said nigger the white dude kinda glanced over hahaha

[use2slam2]

portmurphy1 : no bro he said nigger(not nigga) this was the 70's dogg. i'm black dominican and back in the boogie down Bronx back then with my uncles cousins

we called each other nigger. too many tight ass whites wanna change it up so they don't feel so guilty they used it that way too, one of my uncles who was wesley snipes dark used to say if WE say it it fucks over whitey because it takes away their power to say it to us!

[69torus]

"I gotta' get mellow y'all..." :)

[thatsnazzyappleguy]

Want some coke, have some weed!

[69torus]

@3:50 Hiram Bullock is priceless, and "superfly!" Great take, great song, great show, what a band! & kids out there? You're not going to get those kind of grooves from digital. You need the organic drums, not machines. You need real jam sessions, not "garage band". We need a revolution!!! Now we have shows where people feel entitled to the status of "idol". With performers whimpering "just how much your comments mean to me...thank you judges" Pre packaged approval and contrived covers.

[TheBruegmann]

Hangover 2

[Einsteinbomb]

Super Fly!!

[brentjatko121863]

Mostly Eminem.

[The253King]

@brentjatko121863 EVERBODY LISTEN TO THIS.... SAY IT AGAIN.... PLEASE...!!!HA

[Cemsacoolcat]

It looks weird when he swears.



[Barbadian2k8]

So they played this in Hangover 2? Great, now it's going to be flooded with dip-sh*ts who associate this song with a sh*tty hollywood comedy flick no-one will even remember in a decade.

[TheBandoliersMusic]

@Barbadian2k8 Save it for your therapist. If your that upset about people hearing great music I can't imagine how mad your going to be you you find out when you find out your adopted, i'm railing your woman, and your real daddy is me.

Woopsie.

[Barbadian2k8]

@TheBandoliersMusic I think we call that 'psychological projection' buddy, your life must suck.

[FreshwaterKangaroo]

Really? You're gonna comment with "Thumbs up if you knew about this before Hangover 2" on every single song they had in it? Stop posting shit that says thumbs up this if blah.

[volunteersofamerica1]

@FreshwaterKangaroo Is this a trick post? I want to give you a thumbs up, but am unsure if I should.

[FreshwaterKangaroo]

@volunteersofamerica1 Don't worry, you don't have to thumbs it up, I never aim to get thumbs ups anyways. I had no idea this was even a top comment :/ I don't like the "Top Comments" system because of all the thumbs up whores out there, so feel free to vote it down if you want :)

[albusdd2241]

Thumbs up if you knew about this before Hangover 2

[MrBIC22]

Thumbs up if Hangover 2 bought you here! what an amazing song

[poeray]

This Is where rap and R&B Came from... this is art of spoken word...

[fleshnbone187]

Ice-T "I'm Your Pusher", Spice 1 "Snitch Killas" and Eminem "I'm Shady" all have hooks inspired by this. Respect to the soul legends!

[JayceonTaylorBWS]

@fleshnbone187 and B.O.B

[Dirtyrottensinner]

Hiram Bullock on Guitar behind the man???



[nurikara]

@Dirtyrottensinner Yeah it's Hiram. A pretty badazz Hiram at that. R.I.P.

[SpecTrey85]

would it be crazy to attribute atleast a small part of the start of hip hop to him ?

[crocshoesniffer]

@SpecTrey85 No not at all. For example ICE T I'm Your Pusher.

[crocshoesniffer]

@SpecTrey85 No not at all. For example ICE T I'm Your Pusher.

[flamenconero]

Is that David Sanborn on Alto?

[RnRanimal]

AH....it's good to see MUSICIANS!

[MandoMohan]

@RnRanimal My sentiments, exactly. Nice choice. King Jimmy One and The Sixteen Eleven, what a good name for your next band.

[911fever]

Hasn't Kanye ripped this off yet? He should prolly scratch out a few checks to our boy here. Same wit Jigga-Z

[steveweiser13]

this is real music.

[PRE1959]

Those words are so bone cutting and deep, he had such a haunting voice and it still rings in my head after hearing him for the first time back in 73 as a teenager.

[shear1ng]

I may be the only person to be brought to NARC by pusherman..

[JaMereLW]

lol. white dude has no rythm at all. hahahah

[2KGrind09]

How long can a good thing last

[TeQh]

Ever black singer needs a white man behind him playing a saxophone.

[serpentinecreature]

@TeQh  Really??

[pigeonmaster5]

Thumbs up if "NARC" brought you here.

[pigeonmaster5]

I first heard this song in a game called NARC

[39MasterDeluxe]

[BigRiverAce]

[baliscotsurf]

[MrRolaCosta]

great song, is it the original or he made those lyrics on another song?

[fivos833]

I love how back in the day he looked like a nerd and now he is an ol'G...

Musicians should stick to music and leave fashion and marketing out of it.

[solbrand]

420 Y'ALL



[rafinsh]

i think he is singing about the guitar player in the background. check 3:52

[nurikara]

@rafinsh yeah that's great Hiram Bullock (RIP) who played with jazz celebrities like Pastorius, M Miller etc, among many others

[911fever]

so baaaad

[943ab]

Curtis How we miss your love and your music! Thanks to all of your musical genius crew that has transitioned to that better place...may the music that all of you gave us ...continue to shine on planet earth ...awakening generations to come all over our planet! I love you Curtis and I miss you but we still have your music!1 Much Love TO ALL.

[joannf54]

I remember this son in Superfly!!!

[evestreetmusic]

Curtis is the man! Superfly himself always showing that less is more regarding music. Omar Hakim on the drums kicks funky booty!

[sdee4sdee4]

[58manoa]

Sweet !

[b4threats]

Omar Hakim on drums, Tom Barney on bass, Hiram Bullack on guitar(I know I spelled his name wrong! Forgive me) I don't know who's on keys...

[HamstaJones]

Curtis put all you cats straight!!

[rockncleve]

I'm a 63 yr old white guy..listen to curtis' body of work  the man is a genius pure and simple

[foxdude77]

@rockncleve Glad to know people can still be cool at age 63 =)

[LinZeeLinuz]

[fridolinbeyer]

[BarnacleGonzo613]

tornmask: I think the series was called "Night Music", and you're right, he DID have great musicians on that show.

[BarnacleGonzo613]

tornmask:  I think the series was called "Night Music", and you're right, he DID have great musicians on that show.

[Bigdaddy43ism]

classic track....if you are pushing that weight... then this is for u in the game.But get out the game before u get caughtup.

[portmurphy1]

did he say nigga ???

[pinklizards]

Listen to Eminem I'm Shady on the Slim Shady L.P fans of this may be interested if they don't already know

[Capillus]

This song is too good to be ruined by the keyboard player's cheesy sound dammit!!!

[seamus1967]

Awesome performance. His voice and guitar tone are nothing short of gorgeous.

[tornmask]

Dave Sanborn "Sunday Night" tv program had lots of great musicians on his show!  =0]

[tubedisasterfux]

deeh gas is cool,eedrein pik samples vaan hum,snapstuh dat gas

[podfunaug30]

he's cool.... i love the way he handles the guitar. and i love the fact that he has no use for a pick....

[oleold]

Classic song by one of my idols that is why I play guitar because of curtis mayfield r.i.p.

[WilliamHester8]

His movements remind me of C3PO.

[namartin2]

Beautiful.. this is classic soul.

[wlightman]

who the fuck would dislike this....

[Type59]

@wlightman

The people who got beaten badly for failing to pay their dealer ( ;

[Incredible32]

i hurt for my generation because we lack the knowledge and appreciation for the artistry of some of music's golden ages

[ohyppest1]

@Incredible32 oh, sweetie,it's always gonna be deep! I only found Stevie Ray and Brazilians Elis Regina and Nara Leao after they died--but music is ours and forever! Listen to Joao Gilberto just lately, never copped out, every time he plays it's more genius. I knew a bunchof dead ones in the 60's/70's, knew Charlie Parker...get it? Still hear them! Listen, play, honor the music all the time and you too can be like Joao, all your life in the joy of it!

[187freez]

21 votes negative..FFS! Isaid it before I say it again...how the fuck can ya not like Curtis man!! Gimme a fuckin' break...

[erockcity89]

dang he should be tossed in jail for his first amendment just like chong, live on mayfield your sound tantalizes my soul

[femmesusan1]

This sounds like it could have been made yesterday. Why don't they bring this back? Kids need to hear the genius sound of Curtis, and the message he sings here. Love all his stuff. Gypsy womans my favorite.

Superfly. Curtis--you're missed.

[volunteersofamerica1]

Thumbs up if you are sick of people begging for thumbs up...Thumbs up if you are sick of the comments on the thumbs down... Thumbs up if you are sick of the Bieber bitchin. oh wait a minute...never mind

[ohyppest1]

@volunteersofamerica1

Now that's really good! Yikes! Yippie! Can I adopt you?

[trezg1]

Man I Aint NEVER HEARD OF THIS SHOW BUT IF IT STILL CAME ON ID WATCH ALLDAY,NO QUALITY IN THIS NEW INDUSTRY SHIT!!!

[DaphneRhiannon]

[hammeredcrapvideos]

[thepoopie2]

This was my song picking up my bitches in the tenderloin in the S.F. in the 70's. Rolling in it.

[lcolby11]

[volunteersofamerica1]

[dakarlion1]

Great Curtis stuff! The man is great. Who is the saxophone-player, is that David Sanborn?

[dakarlion1]

Great Curtis stuff! The man is great.

[Barbadian2k8]

Heard the song on 'supersize me', loved the lyrics, checked it out here. Not disappointed :)

[cowboytonydee]

Wow the sound is surprisingly good :) great song!

[emanboogie]

Dang! this is spooky with all the reverb, and keys, and sax and solos making it different from the original. Amazing it all works, how do they do it !??!

[LifeIsNotCertain]

21 people did not want some coke

[MACKDADDYDE1]

[cheezer57]

To those 19 who dislike; you are in serious need of musical intervention.

[aammirr]

[bearmare]

If this is not the greatest band on TV ever, there is no coolness. Right on.

[Javjean]

Voice like silllllllllllk.

[allenwixted1992]

[DanteXLz]

#

Curtis Mayfield can be described as one of the greatest dynamic soul, gospel, r&b funk Maestros' of all time...His name can probably be found somewhere close to the word impeccable...His creatively demonstrated innovative musical geniuses has inspired many generations after him.. His name shall forever be remembered just as if music gave birth to him itself...

MrDarealmccoy86 paying respect and honor to the Great Curtis Mayfield...

[LloydCole2]

When the UK news channel delivered of Mayfields untimely passing, a tear went down my cheek, I listened to his music way back and named my son after him, I have his Vinyl and Cd,s in my car and home, and always listen to compilations on my way to France. I have a neighbour, a French Farmer who stands outside and gives me the thumb up whenever he hears it. Curtis Mayfield a great individual....

[whitewedge]

Does anyone know who is on the sax?



[clever072004]

@whitewedge

David Sanborn on sax the show host...!

[MrSaulgravy]

White guy at the beginning is all like "One of my favorite songs, nigga"

[Zero42O]

ive got that guitar!

[TheMilfordSound]

how can anyone, including 19 people, ever dislike this song?????

[e14212]

@TheMilfordSound agree with you 100 % on that. Music now days just sucks, and i'm being nice when i say this.

[Dropn100]

Rest In Peace CURTIS MAYFIELD you will always be missed

[DarkLee121]

I Love how he said nigga it still floors me

[MegaPrettyinpink09]

@DarkLee121 I know!!
