Curtis Mayfield "Roots" LP

This record is one of Mayfield's strongest - a bold, explosive mix of serious funk and righteous melodies. When he says, 'Get down to the funky, funky groove' - it's not an invitation to party, it's a command. 'Keep On Keeping On' is one of Mayfield's sweetest melodies - a track so strong and uplifting that you'll be high-fiving everyone you see for weeks afterward.
