There is very little in this world I love more than Curtis Mayfield, and very little I hate more than synth horns.

This song gave me hope in the most hopeless of times.

Mayfield was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on March 15, 1999. Health reasons prevented him from attending the ceremony, which included fellow inductees Paul McCartney, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, Dusty Springfield, George Martin, and 1970s Curtom signee and labelmate The Staple Singers. His last appearance on record was with the group Bran Van 3000 on the song "Astounded" for their album Discosis, recorded just before his death and released in 2001.

On Aug 13, 1990, Curtis was paralyzed from the neck down after stage lighting equipment fell on him at an outdoor concert at Wingate Field in Flatbush, Brooklyn, New York. He was unable to play guitar, but he wrote sang and directed the recording of his last album, New World Order. Curtis' vocals were recorded line-by-line while lying on his back. Curtis received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1995. In February, 1998, he had to have his right leg amputated due to diabetes.

[cboykler]

this is definitely a later performance, but it had to be before 1991; curtis was paralyzed from the neck down in 1990 and couldn't play guitar anymore
