  • People with Disabilities Get Ready: Curtis Mayfield in the 1990S Ray Pence, Ph.D
    People with Disabilities Get Ready: Curtis Mayfield in the 1990s Ray Pence, Ph.D. University of Kansas Abstract: This article breaks with precedent by emphasizing disability’s role in the life and work of Curtis Mayfield (1942-1999) and by arguing that his experience of quadriplegia had both positive and difficult dimensions. Analysis focuses on Mayfield’s representation by journalists and other writers in the 1990s, and on how Mayfield answered their portrayals as an interview subject and as a musician with his final studio album New World Order (1996). Considered within the whole of Mayfield’s career, quadriplegia is revealed as one among many difficulties that he answered with critical positive thinking and powerful music. Key Words: quadriplegia, African-American music, civil rights “When a celebrity is ‘stricken’... editors and producers of national news organizations fall all over each other to run a mass-market variation on the theme, but in terms of narrative structure the celebrity story is simply the same notes scored for a symphony orchestra rather than a string quartet” (Riley, 2005, p. 13). Introduction Curtis Lee Mayfield (1942-1999) was a master of soul, rhythm, and blues with enormous and positive cultural influence in the last forty years of the twentieth century. Mayfield was also a person with disabilities—diabetes and, more significantly, quadriplegia—that he acquired late in life. Images are as important as sounds to understanding relationships between Mayfield’s quadriplegia and his music. Three contrasting views of Mayfield lying flat on his back during the 1990s provide a sort of visual synopsis of public perceptions of his final years.

  • “People Get Ready”
    “People Get Ready” Excerpt from Lyrics By Curtis Mayfield People get ready, there's a train a comin' You don't need no baggage, you just get on board All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin' Don't need no ticket, you just thank the Lord Excerpt from the Chapter Essay by Craig Werner No song captures the feel of the early Movement better than Curtis Mayfield’s gospel-inflected “People Get Ready,” which culminates in an invitation to “get on board.” The center of a vibrant Chicago soul scene, which in terms of pure talent rivaled Detroit and Memphis, Mayfield embodied the relationship between Civil Rights, gospel and soul. Known as "the gentle genius," Mayfield grew up attending the Traveling Souls Spiritualist Church, a storefront church pastured by his Grandmother on Chicago’s poverty-stricken West Side. The experienced shaped both his politics and his approach to music. “Gospel was your foundation,” Mayfield said when asked about the inspiration for his songwriting. “All you had to do was just change some few lyrics. ‘Keep on Pushing’ was intended, written as a gospel song. All I needed to do to lock it in with The Impressions was say ‘I’ve got my strength’ instead of “God gave me strength and it don’t make sense.’ Nothing else needed to be changed.” WWW.TEACHROCK.ORG That quiet determination was part of what made Mayfield’s music more than just background for the Movement. When Martin Luther King, Jr., launched an ultimately unsuccessful campaign targeting housing discrimination in Chicago, organizers tapped into The Impressions' local popularity even more directly.

  • In the Middle of 1970, Curtis Mayfield Quit the Impressions and Began One of the Most Groundbreaking and Successful Solo Careers in History
    In the middle of 1970, Curtis Mayfield quit the Impressions and began one of the most groundbreaking and successful solo careers in history. Nothing happened to force his hand—no dramatic falling out or heated argument. In his customary seat-of-the-pants way, he simply picked up the phone one evening, called fellow Impression Fred Cash, and said, “Fred, I’m going to try to go on my own and see what I can do. You and Sam [Gooden] can do the same thing. Y’all go on your own and see what you can do.” Fred called Sam and told him the news, and that was it. My father left the group. Fred, Sam, and the Impressions, three of the most important forces in my father’s life for more than a decade, no longer occupied his mind. The boyhood dreams, the endless miles traveled on tour, the lonely nights trying to steal sleep in motel beds, the harmonizing and fraternizing all came to an end. Dad struggled with the decision. For years, the three Impressions were so close that if you saw one of them, you usually saw the other two. They spent more time with each other than they did with their own wives. Yet, my father had the ability to turn off his emotions and make cold, calculated business decisions when he felt it necessary. Recalling this side of him, my brother Tracy says, “You saw a good and evil. The evil part came out when it was about business. I always separated the parent from the businessperson.

  • “People Get Ready”—The Impressions (1965) Added to the National Registry: 2015 Essay by Brad Erickson (Guest Post)*
    “People Get Ready”—The Impressions (1965) Added to the National Registry: 2015 Essay by Brad Erickson (guest post)* Original sleeve As a small, dark child, Curtis Mayfield was stung by the nickname “Smut.” As a songwriter he would transform stigma into anthems of Black pride, yet when praised for his contribution to the Civil Rights Movement, Mayfield demurred, “I’m just an entertainer.” Jerry Butler and Curtis Mayfield met as teenagers in a Chicago church choir. In 1958, they joined forces with a vocal trio from Tennessee to form the Impressions. By 1962, Mayfield, Sam Gooden and Fred Cash remained. Mayfield wrote the songs and played guitar with nuanced sensitivity. When the group teamed up with producer Johnny Pate in 1963, Pate’s polished arrangements propelled the Impressions to popular success. Curtis Mayfield sings “People Get Ready” in a silken falsetto over pizzicato strings and Sam Gooden responds, “There’s a train a-coming.” Mayfield’s guitar marks time with staccato upstrokes over low French horns while bell-like glockenspiel tones rise to the heavens. “You don’t need no baggage,” sings Mayfield; Gooden and Cash respond, “You just get on board.” This is a train song; this is a gospel song delivering good news. But 1965 was the height of the Civil Rights Movement, when the suppression of Black voters spurred the march from Selma to Montgomery and police assaulted peaceful marchers. To be confined in segregated schools, jobs, or neighborhoods is to lack freedom of movement. To be incarcerated, terrorized or dispossessed—and thus all too often to be Black in America—is to lack the mobility others take for granted.

  • Review - DVD: Curtis Mayfield - Live 1990
    Review - DVD: Curtis Mayfield - Live 1990 DVD: Curtis Mayfield In Concert (1990) 60 min - Music Video Distributors Reviewed by DJ Johnson Curtis Mayfield possessed a magical combination of soul, pop, funk and social conscience, all packed into a voice of smooth, sweet perfection. He brought it with The Impressions in the 60s, he brought it as a solo artist in the 70s, and even though his popularity didn't keep him in large arenas far beyond the age of Superfly, he never stopped bringing it. At least not until a tragic, freak accident changed everything. High winds brought some stage light rigging down on top of him, leaving him a quadriplegic. This video was filmed on April 28, 1990, for the German television series, Ohne Filter. It was just a few months before the accident. Mayfield was singing just a little bit softer than he usually did, but it was that smooth, sweet voice, still up in the stratosphere after all those years. With a solid band behind him (featuring Randy Keith Brown [bass], Lee Goodness [drums], Buzz Amato [keyboards] and Louis Stefanell ([percussions]), Mayfield performed a handful of his classics, including "Superfly," "Freddie's Dead," "Gypsy Woman," "It's Alright," "Pusherman," and "Billy Jack."

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.
