Curtis Mayfield, vocals and guitar ; with accompanying musicians (Benny Scott, bass ; Lee Goodness, drums ; Frank Amato, keyboards ; Henry Gibson, percussion)
Recorded live on July 18, 1987 at the Montreux Casino, Montreux Jazz Festival, Switzerland
Curtis Mayfield was one of the dominant figures of soul music for three decades. This performance, filmed at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1987, finds Curtis in fine form. His distinctive falsetto vocals and fine guitar playing are in evidence on a classic set that spans his career from early Impressions hits such as Gypsy Woman and It's Alright through to his solo classics including Move On Up, Freddie's Dead (theme from "Superfly"), If There's A Hell Below, We're All Going To Go and People Get Ready
