Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Singer, songwriter, guitarist, bandleader, producer, and label owner Curtis Lee Mayfield (June 3, 1942 – December 26, 1999) was a primary exponent of sweetly melodic, yet socially conscious soul/funk. He began his career with the Impressions, leading them through a series of upbeat love songs ("It's All Right") and soaring pleas for racial progress ("Keep On Pushing", "This Is My Country", "Choice of Colors"). He left the Impressions in the 1970s, to begin a solo career that saw his social conscience deepen. His best known achievement as a solo artist was the soundtrack to Super Fly. "Freddie's Dead" and the title track were his biggest solo hits.Mayfield also wrote music for the movies Short Eyes, Let’s Do It Again, and Sparkle. His popularity waned in the 1980s, and he was paralyzed from the neck down following an accident at an outdoor concert in 1990. Nevertheless, he recorded a final album, New World Order, in 1996. He died three years later from complications of diabetes; his last vocal performance was on the Bran Van 3000 song "Astounded", which would be released in 2001.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Discography 1970 - Curtis 1971 - Roots 1972 - Super Fly 1973 - Back to the World !974 - Claudine (with Gladys Knight & the Pips) 1974 - Sweet Exorcist 1974 - Got to Find a Way 1975 - Let's Do It Again 1975 - There's No Place Like America Today 1976 - Give, Get, Take and Have 1976 - Sparkle (with Aretha Franklin) 1977 - Never Say You Can't Survive 1977 - Short Eyes 1978 - Do It All Night 1979 - Heartbeat 1980 - Something to Believe In 1980 - The Right Combination (with Linda Clifford) 1982 - Love is the Place 1983 - Honesty 1985 - We Come in Peace with a Message of Love 1990 - Take It to the Streets 1996 - New World Order | |

Homage: The cover for his 1975 album There's No Place Like America Today is a tribute of sorts to a 1937 Margaret Bourke-White photo of black flood victims. | |

| Curtis Mayfield (Music) / int_e567510d | comment |
Determinator: Mayfield, post-accident. Now a quadriplegic, he recorded his vocals for the New World Order album line by line, while lying on his back. It was the only way he could get enough air into his lungs to sing. | |
