Curtis Mayfield, "Back to the World"

KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
This week we are in Curtom Studios, on the North Side of Chicago, for Curtis Mayfield's "Back To The World", first released as the title track to his 4th solo LP on his own Curtom label in May 1973...

"Chicago born in 1942, Curtis Lee Mayfield got his first guitar at age 10, and it is said that, as a boy, he loved it so much he slept with it. Singer, songwriter, guitarist, producer and social activist - he surely has to be one of the greatest musical talents the United States ever produced - he could really do it all and on this one he does - everything about it is superb !

Before Bob Marley became the international superstar he deserved to be, the most covered songwriter in Jamaica was Curtis ! Tribute Indeed. Right On, brothers and sisters, Right On !" KV
