Curtis Mayfield - Live at Montreux 1987(2004)

Curtis Mayfield: Live at Montreux 1987 is a concert film capturing the soul legend in peak form at the 1987 Montreux Jazz Festival. Mayfield's distinctive falsetto and fluid guitar work anchor a career-spanning set that moves from his Impressions era hits like "Gypsy Woman" and "It's Alright" through his defining solo work: "Move On Up," the "Superfly" theme "Freddie's Dead," "If There's a Hell Below, We're All Going to Go," and "People Get Ready." For three decades, Mayfield shaped soul music as one of its most influential figures, blending social consciousness with infectious grooves. This performance stands as essential documentation of an artist at the height of his powers, delivering the songs that defined a generation with warmth and precision.
