Percy Mayfield,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Poet Laurede of the Blues [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This is probably the only Documentary available for the great R&B singer song writer Percy Mayfield. It includes a live club performance from 1981 and footage shot at his home in December 1982.He talks about his life and music and sings some of his famous compositions. A 1952 auto accident left him seriously injured, including a facial disfigurement. This limited his performing for sometime However, this did not stop his songwriting. In 1961 he wrote "Hit the Road Jack" which became a hit for Ray Charles. When Mayfield died of a heart attack in 1984, the day before his 64th birthday, he had fallen into obscurity. This Video is a rare opportunity to see into the life of a truly great artist. |
