| Curtis Mayfield LP discography (1970-1977) |
Listed below are some of the finest albums Curtis recorded. The first 4 albums should be essential in any record collection. The other records, although not bad
suffer in comparision. All are worh a listen though and there are some gems to be found on the later LPs.
On the first few albums Curtis was setting the agenda, his lyrics, singing and guitar work were peerless,
and you felt Curtis had full artistic control. On the later albums with the popularity of "disco" albums sometimes the style sounds false and forced. |
