Curtis Mayfield - Give Me Your Love
Curtis Mayfield was ahead of his time. With the Impressions and later as a solo artist, he was one of the first performers to capture the tenor of the times in the late 1950s, 1960s, and '70s musically expressing the feeling in the streets during the formative years of the civil-rights and peace movements.
He was always a positive force, expressing the highest ideals of both movements, preaching black pride and tolerance, universal peace and blissful love. His music had a spiritual quality, and a solid funky groove.
