The intro to “ hell below” and the beautiful “makings of you” for a start and has their been a more funkier 9 mins than “ move on up” ?

The use of strings and harps is quite amazing and the record is full of great moments. Musically its arrangements and detailed production (by mayfield himself) are superslick and powerful. Its basically the summation of Mayfields life and experiences at this point, highlighting inequality and black pride, but also with a broader message of unity. This is an absolute essential for any fan of soul music.Ĭurtis never made the commercial inroads that marvin or stevie wonder did but “curtis” his 1st solo album is right up there with the best work of either of those men and came at least 2 years before their definitive statements. He’s truly one of the premier songwriters of the genre. What always made him a great was his songwriting.

The string arrangments sweeten up most of the tracks. This is probably the most sophisticated Chicago soul I’ve heard. Besides the awesome opener, Curtis isn’t making stuff as funky as he does on Superfly, but I feel this is about on a par. This is undoubtedly one of the most important albums of seventies soul.
