Curtis Mayfield - Gotta Have Peace(1972)


                             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.
