Curtis Mayfield - People Get Ready-The Curtis Mayfield Story[BoxSet](1996) mp3@320 {1337x}-kawli

Curtis Lee Mayfield (June 3, 1942 – December 26, 1999) 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. 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. He is also a two-time Grammy Hall of Fame inductee.

People Get Ready! The Curtis Mayfield Story, released in 1996 by Rhino Records, is a three-disc celebration of the immeasurably influential singer, songwriter, and guitarist as an Impression and as a solo artist. People tend to associate him with Superfly, the seminal blaxploitation flick for which he composed the groundbreaking score. What's striking, however, is how timely Mayfield remained over the course of three and a half decades. Want to understand the mind of an African American who's lived through Jim Crow, the civil rights, Vietnam, black power, street crime, homelessness, and even crippling injury (Mayfield was paralyzed in the early '90s)? Listen to these discs. What's striking, though, is that, through all that, he never stopped writing love songs.
