The other day, while sitting in a cafe in Leeds, I suddenly realised that
the background music was really rather good. The more I listened, the
more I liked - a kind of mix of funk vibes and mellow lyrics. On exiting
the joint, I asked what it was I'd been listening to.
"The Best of Curtis Mayfield" I was told. Of course. Only a genius like
Mayfield could have produced such a sound. I have now re-discovered his
music, but I thought I'd mention it and ask if there are any comments on
his music, and which were his best albumns in people's opinions?

Peace and all that shit..
