the late curtis mayfield was a songwriter, musician and producer of immense vision. first as a member of the impressions and then as a solo artist, he helped define and re-define soul music, expanding the genre and taking it to new creative heights. this is one of my favorite curtis tracks, with its self-empowerment message, infectious chorus, and irresistable backbeat. the long version features extended percussive goodness and great sax.
