Most Memorable Song Titles

Curtis Mayfield is, I think, one of the great under-appreciated composers of modern times. Like Bernard Herman, his name is known to a few--a happy few--who know his true brilliance. I owned Superfly once, but not now....In the meantime, I found this gem, and think it is not a bad substitute....

I vote for Curtis everytime. Like others, Miles Davis, James Brown, he reinvented himself as times changed. Re-inented, not to please fashion, but to answer the voices in his head. From the "minstrel" musings of "Gypsy Woman" and "I'm the one who loves you.". To the civil rights anthems of "We're a Winner" and "Movin' on Up" and the out and out classic "People get Ready". The angrier missives of "Choice of Colors" and "If there's a hell below, we're all gonna go". And his urban hell descriptions in "Superfly". Underated, perhaps, he's one of a hanfull of artists in the RnR Hall of Fame TWICE, once for the Impressions and Once for himself. But listening to his HOF induction and what Springsteen and other's said of him... some know of his influence. However you can't mention his greatness without acknowledgin his long time collaborator and producer/arranger Johnny Pate. Together, they were genius.
