CURTIS MAYFIELD & THE IMPRESSIONS THE BEST OF -- THE MILLENNIUM COLLECTION MCA/Universal As a one-man recording industry unto himself, Curtis Mayfield was the undisputed architect of '60s Chicago soul. Singer/songwriter/producer/A&R man/label owner and leader of the Impressions from 1961-69, Mayfield ...

The Way I Feel (Motown). Review by Bill Campbell.
... '70s soul/funk groove. So retro he's moderne. In fact, you can pretty much catalogue his influences: musically, Marvin, Stevie, M. Hathaway, and Curtis Mayfield are all over the disc (you can pretty much name which influence for each song); and vocally, he sounds a little like Maxwell and has a falsetto ...

Various Artists (Ubiquity). Review by Bill Campbell.
... . Rewind 2 does, unfortunately, shoot blanks: John Beltran's "Fragile" is as corny as the Sting original; Roy Davis Jr. should never have touched Curtis Mayfield's "People Get Ready"; and, as much as I love Terry Callier, he really can't do justice to "Just My Imagination." Without those three songs ...

... Kidjo, Fatal Mambo, Touri Kunda and Ladysmith Black Mambazo along with brilliant zydeco master, Chris Ardoin, covering everyone from Ray Charles, Curtis Mayfield, Jimi Hendrix, Bill Withers and Bob Marley to Lou Reed, Phil Collins, Toto (yes, Toto), Jackie Wilson and Hall and Oates. And, yes, the very ...

Various Artists (Kill Rock Stars). Review by Sean Slone.
... names, including former Helium frontwoman Mary Timony, New York's Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Lesbian rockers The Butchies, and Portland's Quasi (covering Curtis Mayfield). There are also tracks from up and comers The Mooney Suzuki and even alt-country diva Neko Case (covering Canadian songwriter Sook Yin Lee ...

EP (self-released). Review by Bettie Lou Vegas.
... group is completed with Kimo on saxophone, Brian Benning on keys and two vocalists -- D. Devereau (aka Dave Da Dopeman) and Lorio G. While they cite Curtis Mayfield and A Tribe Called Quest among their influences, perhaps a comparison to Everlast's solo work wouldn't be too far off, with the trumpeter ...

Pain (MCA). Review by Bill Campbell.
... produce better music: Stevie Wonder's "Livin' for the City," Donny Hathaway's "The Ghetto," Marvin Gaye's "Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)," Curtis Mayfield's "Ghetto Child Running Wild," hell, even Elvis, and let's not forget klezmer music. But apparently nowadays, the ghetto's not only caught ...

Watch For Today (In The Red). Review by Anton Warner.
... with ecstatic hand-claps on the chorus. King Floyd's "Handle Me With Care" is a slower number, but no less electrifying than the other tracks here. Curtis Mayfield's "Keep On Pushin'" is also given a whirl. The music here is an energetic sampling, and the band is as adept at writing music in their style ...

Something Wicked This Way Comes (Ninja Tune). Review by Bill Campbell.
... Life Cypher, and Wildflower (a British MC who can actually rap?!). Then comes that funk/jazz sound that will never grow old. "Unsungsong" is total Curtis Mayfield seduction -- strings and all. "Mr. Holmes" sprays an afro-puffed pheromone musk all over the disc. And "24 Carat Blag" is a high-speed Starsky ...

December 1997 :: Music P-S :: Pure Soul 1997Wet Ink Artist (Hal Horowitz)
... . It all sounds so slick, pre-programmed, and oddly soul-LESS that I had abandoned any faith of ever hearing another unique mind-blowing voice like Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye, or Stevie Wonder. And even though there's nobody on PS'97 that approaches the thrilling gospel/R+B/blues feel that those icons ...
