#NowPlaying @CurtisLMayfield Curtis (1970) Already with a decade as an Impression, Mayfield hit his solo career running. Polemical yet humanist. Show, don't tell. As funky as a teenage boy's bedroom. As cool as a frozen cucumber. The first in an incredible run of elite albums.

#albumoftheday @CurtisLMayfield Curtis (1970) Mayfield lays out in stark terms the severe challenges of living in America in 1970 but never loses hope. An astonishing balancing act that he pulls off with exceptional songwriting. Superb. Best track - Miss Black America #NowPlaying
