A TRIBUTE TO CURTIS

Michael's passing has all of us kinda toe up. A testament to tha King of Pop's massive musical shadow is his ability to make us remember, appreciate, and fall in love with music all over again.

I am particularly fond of paying tribute to musical greats, as you may know, and have done two Curtis Mayfield tributes at my weekly party, Pacific Standard Time. Curtis was and remains a towering figure in modern music, a man who nimbly transcends tha 50s doo wop era, tha 60s vocal soul sound and tha explosion of funk and consciousness-raising music in tha 1970s. He remained a trailblazer until his untimely passing in tha early 90s.

Here is a piece of a live Curtis Mayfield tribute set from a couple months ago. Track listing at bottom. Enjoy!
