I doubt if anyone would ever site Mayfield as being in the pantheon of great soul VOCALISTS, but as a songwriter, arranger, and artist, he was one of the best we will ever see.

One of the greatest talents in all of soul music: vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, producer and label owner.
Emerging out of the doo wop scene of the late '50s and going on to create ground-breaking work with the Impressions, and later as one of the founding fathers of funk in the late '60s and '70s.
Such a prolific songwriter - not only penning stacks of hits for himself and The Impressions but conjuring hits and, indeed, entire albums for many other artists.
I got into Curtis in the early '80s when I saw a bunch of his albums cheap in a record shop in Manchester. All his early '70s classics for 79p each, brand new, I couldnt resist.
In 1983 I was lucky enough to see him perform at the Glastonbury festival. Great memory.
It was so sad to see his awful decline. RIP Curtis - you were one of the best.

Well said you guys...probably in my top 3 as in terms of the way he so easily gets his point across so beautifully...very few male artists managed to do that for me( Stevie,Barry,Sam Cooke,Luther etc)..Even down to delivery about the topics he so cared about made it so vivid you could actually see them..definitely gone but not forgotten.

To me Curtis is like a distant cousin who could express feelings that most musicians had trouble communicating with such skill.
If you had a bad day listen to Curtis and you feel better, because a bad Curtis day is way worst than your day,. This man had the gift that few others had, To take on life's painful experiences and put them to music, Drugs, Poverty, Welfare, Crime, Bereavement, civil rights, violence, Grief, just to name a few.
He could make you feel your not alone and better days will come if you try hard enough, I feel a loss that Curtis is no longer with us but his music keeps you hanging on.
He's left a long legacy which i am grateful to have been touched by his music.

Curtis Mayfield was simply one of the true legends of soul music.
Very few artists could capture his listeners with his faultless vocal executions & ground breaking productions.
With every song he blessed a real message was perfectly delivered.
Without a doubt a great who very sadly didn't hit the masses, but deeply touched every soul in the underground.
You hear one song from him, you just had to hear them all.
For me it was one of the sadest days on learning of his sudden & tragic death.
