5.0 out of 5 stars Curtis, We Love You, December 26, 2000

This All-Star tribute to Curtis Mayfield is one of my all-time favorite pieces of music, especially for driving in the car. The variety of music, voice, and interpretation is a complete joy. From Aretha and Gladys to Springsteen and Clapton, almost anyone who's "anyone" in popular music contributed to this testament to the wonderfully poignant songwriting skills of the great Curtis Mayfield! Whether you own 100 soul records or just one, you must add this disk to your collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Curtis is the Man, August 19, 2002

Eugene Russell (washington, dc) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tribute to Curtis Mayfield (Audio CD)

Great CD... I picked up this CD as a 3 number (there was two other CD's that I bought that day - I can't remember what they were)but this is the CD that I have worn out. If you are into the evolution of music this is a good text book.... Curtis did not get his just due when he died this man help make music what it is today both R&B and Rock. The artist on this CD is great and Curtis's remake of his own classic is awesome. Buy this it should be in everyone collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars A better than average tribute to a departed Master, May 28, 2003

This review is from: Tribute to Curtis Mayfield (Audio CD)

I was concerned when I first bought this album. Curtis Mayfield provided the soundtrack for my life. I follwed him through all the phases of his career, from his "Minstrel" phase, through his "Civil Rights" period, his social consciouness/radical period and finally his "love groove" phase. All of those periods are represented here save the "Superfly" soundtrack. Why no one tackled those tunes is unknown to me, probably publishing rights squabbles.

Most of the works here are good if not great. Highlights for me are BB King's "The Woman's Got Soul", Aretha's, "The Making's of You", Phil Collin's haunting and soulful "Keep on Trying" and lastly Stevie Wonder's joyouns "I'm the one that Loves You". No slouches on this album. From Springsteen to Lenny Kravitz they're here and they represent. Almost a "must have".
