Curtis Mayfield bio
Curtis Mayfield (Curtis Lee Mayfield , Chicago, Illinois, June 3, 1942 - Roswell, Georgia, December 26, 1999) was an American soul, funk and rhythm and blues, singer-songwriter and guitarist.
Mayfield is probably best known for his anthemic music with The Impressions and for the soundtrack to the blaxploitation film Superfly.
Perhaps because he didn't cross over to t... he pop audience as heavily as Motown's stars, it may be that the scope of Curtis Mayfield's talents and contributions have yet to be fully recognized.

As a solo artist in the 1970s, he helped pioneer funk and helped introduce hard-hitting urban commentary into soul music. "Gypsy Woman," "It's All Right," "People Get Ready," "Freddie's Dead," and "Superfly" are merely the most famous of his many hit records.
