- (Don’t Worry) If There Is A Hell Below, We’re All Going To Go (1970) Als Curtis Mayfield im September 1970 sein Debütalbum Curtis veröffentlicht, verabschiedet er sich darauf weitestgehend vom poppigen Soul-Sound seiner vorherigen Band The Impressions.
- Move On Up (1970) Mit Move On Up landet Curtis Mayfield im Jahr 1970 nicht nur seinen mit Abstand größten Hit, sondern er veröffentlicht mit dem Stück auch eine gewaltige Demonstration seines beeindruckenden Könnens.

Mayfield befell a tragic accident in 1990 when a lighting rig fell on him at a concert in New York City. The accident left him paralyzed from the neck down. Committed to his music, Mayfield discovered he could still sing if he laid flat on his back. He subsequently released the album New World Orderin 1996 with a number of trademark ballads, includ...
“Keep On Pushing” introduced Mayfield as a leading voice in the protest song movement. The song works as both a folky political message and a keystone soul ballad. Hallelujah, hallelujah / Keep on pushing, the lyrics read.
Mayfield discusses the division between races in “Mighty Mighty (Spade and Whitey).” He asks why those trying to resolve the issue are being killed: We’re killing off our leaders / It don’t matter none black or white / And we all know it’s wrong / And we’re gonna fight to make it right. A searing live version of “Mighty Mighty” appeared on the Curt...
Mayfield’s music tends to live on the positive side of life. He urges his listeners to “keep on keeping on” in the face of hard times (more on that later) but, he takes the opposite approach in “To Be Invisible.” Just a plain old human being / Today, don’t mean a thing / In a world that’s so mean, he sings. With Mayfield’s honeyed voice singing the...
“Give Me Your Love (Love Song)” appears on the seminal soundtrack for Super Fly. This track is equal parts funky and passionate. Two cover versions came out soon after Mayfield’s proving the song’s appeal—the first by Barbara Mason and another by Motown staples Sisters Love. The song has been covered many times since, but Mayfield’s original and in...
“I’m So Proud” comes dangerously close to becoming a schmaltzy ballad that feels more cheesy than it does moving. Despite singing lyrics like I’m so proud of you…Believe me, I love you too, The Impressions manage to make the listener sigh with contentment rather than wince at the mushy sentiment.
“Pusherman” also appears on the soundtrack for Super Fly. While this track is heavily steeped in funk, the braggadocious lyrics hold a resemblance to modern rap. Ain’t I clean? Bad machine / Super cool, super mean / Dealin’ good, for The Man / Superfly, here I stand, Mayfield rattles off in the chorus.
Mayfield knew how to craft a political message while maintaining a song’s surface-level appeal. Look no further for evidence of that fact than “People Get Ready.” The song was written a year after the March on Washington and, for many, the song bottles up the spirit of the day. The song was released to great success by The Impressions and covered b...
Similar to the No. 1 track on this list, in “Keep On Keeping On” Mayfield provides solace for those in hard times. He asks the listener to pass the tune down so that future generations can also find peace in Mayfield’s lyrics: Continue to give, continue to live / For what you know is right. Mayfield’s vocals have never sounded as tender as they do ...
In 1968, Mayfield released a self-titled record. The project was an ambitious eight-song album that toggled between classic ballads and era-defining commentaries. Among the tracklist was Mayfield’s signature track, “Move On Up.” With this song, Mayfield delivered an ode to progress—a sentiment that was on the hearts and minds of many Americans at t...
