Media continues to proliferate. ',Attention spans continue to shrink. And free content is available everywhere, from the Internet to the insides of elevators. Why then are 93% of American adults still so attached to magazines? Why do so many people, young and old, spend so much time with a medium that's paper and ink, a medium you actually have to pay for in order to read? In a word, engagement. Reading a magazine remains a uniquely intimate and immersive experience. Not only is magazine readership up, readers spend an average of 43 minutes per issue. Further, those 43 minutes of attention are typically undivided. Among all media-digital or analog-magazine readers are least likely to engage in another activity while reading.

  • Curtis Mayfield 2
    Curtis Mayfield By Dave Hoekstra March 14, 1993--- DUNWOODY, Ga. It is important to remember that Curtis Mayfield has not been forgotten. Such a sentiment is certain to bring a smile to his face. The funky girl group En Vogue recently sent Mayfield a gold compact disc for the band's hit "Giving Him Something He Can Feel," which he wrote in 1976 for the film "Sparkle." (Aretha Franklin sung the soundtrack version.) Mayfield asks a visitor to find the framed gold CD, which is propped up against a wall near his bed. The visitor reads the commemoration and then glances over at Mayfield, whose smile is measured by pride. Mayfield defined such feelings in Chicago. He was born June 3, 1942, in Cook County Hospital. Mayfield spent his early years living with his mother and grandmother, first at 18th and Cottage Grove. Mayfield attended at least nine grammar schools in Chicago. When he was 12, the Mayfield family moved into the tiny row houses of the Cabrini Homes, where he lived until his mid-20s. Mayfield said, "We were on some kind of welfare during those early years, but you really don't know you're poor as youngsters." His grandmother, the Rev. A.B. Mayfield, left a sincere impression. It was on an old Victrola at her house that Mayfield first heard Sam Cooke and the Soul Stirrers, Clyde McPhatter and various gospel groups. In the early 1950s, she was preparing to become a minister, and Mayfield and his cousins would travel with her to religious conventions. "She finally started the Traveling Soul Spiritualist Church," Mayfield recalled.

  • “Superfly”—Curtis Mayfield (1972) Added to the National Registry: 2018 Essay by Josiah Howard (Guest Post)*
    “Superfly”—Curtis Mayfield (1972) Added to the National Registry: 2018 Essay by Josiah Howard (guest post)* Album cover Label Mayfield What is there left to say about Curtis Mayfield’s seminal work “Superfly,” his soundtrack album for the 1972 Warner Bros. Pictures film? One might start by stating the facts. “Superfly,” a collection of nine songs written, produced and performed by Mayfield, is one of the most critically praised, politically aware, and financially successful blaxploitation cinema soundtrack albums ever made. And it’s no wonder: the album spawned two million-selling Top Ten pop and R&B hits-- “Superfly” and “Freddie’s Dead”--continued the tradition of social commentary in popular black music and served as a subversive dissonant--a counter story to the story being played out on the screen. “I was very influenced by Marvin [Gaye’s] ‘What’s Going On’ album,” Mayfield remembered years later (Gaye’s album was released the year before). “When they asked me to do ‘Superfly,’ I was worried because I thought Marvin had already covered all the social commentary and soul music bases.” He needn’t have worried. It was true that Gaye’s album was a touchstone--even broaching the topic of the environment; “Mercy, Mercy Me (The Ecology).” But it was also true that Mayfield, not Gaye, first introduced and was first credited with afro-centric, black power, “brother” songs that, as it turned out, served as the soundtrack for the Civil Rights movement. Curtis Lee Mayfield was born in Chicago, Illinois, on June 3, 1942. He grew up in the hard knocks Cabrini-Green housing projects--the incendiary backdrop for the blaxploitation favorite “Cooley High” and the African-American TV series “Good Times.” One of five children, his mother encouraged his innate musicality.
