Curtis Mayfield died from complications of diabetes on December 26, 1999, at the North Fulton Regional Hospital in Roswell, Georgia; his health had steadily declined following his paralysis.


Dernier album 3 ans avant son décès. Paroles émouvantes, qui m'ont l'air prémonitoires. En plus le bébé qui pleure à la fin :(

A new world order, a brand new day. A change of mind for the human race

Darkness no longer, a child is born
Mother shed tears of joy as baby test his lungs
My daddy's not there where he ought to be
Somewhere in Georgia, skinning and shooting craps on his knees

C'est en 1970 qu'il sort le classique Curtis ...

Ce morceau me fascine ... Ces paroles ... Cette musique ...


Sisters, brothers and the whities
Blacks and the crackers
Police and their backers
They're all political actors

Hurry
People running from their worries
While the judge and the juries
Dictate the law that's partly flaw
Cat calling, love balling, fussing and cussing
Top billing now is killing
For peace no-one is willing
Kind of make you get that feeling

Everybody smoke
Use the pill and the dope
Educated fools
From uneducated schools
Pimping people is the rule
Polluted water in the pool
And Nixon talking about don't worry
He says don't worry
He says don't worry
He says don't worry
