                             Curtis Lee Mayfield (June 3, 1942 – December 26, 1999)
 Prachtige song van Curtis Mayfield,zeker in deze tijd van toepassing en .Vooral de zinnen "Gotta Have Peace" and "Save The Children "spreken me zeer aan.
 Ik zag hem een keer "livĂ«" op een zondagmiddag in Den Haag ergens in de jaren 90.Een prachtoptreden met een geweldige band.


Curtis Lee Mayfield  was an American soul, R&B, and funk singer, songwriter, and record producer. He is best known for his anthemic music with The Impressions during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and for composing the soundtrack to the blaxploitation film Super Fly, Mayfield is highly regarded as a pioneer of funk and of politically conscious African-American music.[1][2] He was also a multi-instrumentalist who played the guitar, bass, piano, saxophone, and drums. Mayfield is a winner of both the Grammy Legend Award (in 1994) and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award (in 1995), and he was a double inductee into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, inducted as a member of The Impressions into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1991, and again in 1999 as a solo artist.
