Got to Find a Way & Sweet Exorcist

I love this two albums for a variety of reasons, there's the expected fabulous lyrical & music compostions and vocals as only curtis could give us. But, I found his guitar work on this album to be some of the best he ever recorded and the tracks on these 2 LP's are some of the most aggressive and funky he recorded in this his heyday. You have a fully confident artist giving us the state of affairs as he saw it and why not?Curtis was truly in tune with what was going on around him and had a pulse for not only the times but for the pulse of the people. You have a wonderful blend of dispair, hope, sadness, joy, chastisement and uplifting of the soul. These are 2 of my absolute favorite ablums as they make me both think, dance and reflect. At this time, Curtis's "Curtom" Records was in full swing and he had a host of artists was both writing for and producing. All the more reason these 2 albums are so impressive.Mr. Mayfield was truly the "Prophet and Poet" of the movement in the 1970's but he also had a fun, sensual and playful side that comes across in many of his albums. He always made you stop and actually think, he was the ultimate "storyteller" and could grab and maintain your attention with each track. I thoroughly enjoyed these albums and I'm one who believed he released some of his most telling and personal material after the masterpieces of the early part of the decade (Curtis, Curtis Live, Roots & Superfly).Like all great artists, Curtis went through a variety of transitions in his Hall Of Fame Career, from the Impressions to his long and incredible solo material, He takes us on a wonderful journey of growth, love, reflection and deep and profound thought. He is one the few artists to ever truly transend a particular era and is an artist for all generations and era's. May His Precious Soul continue to Rest In Peace.

I'VE BEEN PLAYING THIS CD ALOT TO GET A FEEL FOR IT BECAUSE IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN HIS PREVIOUS ALBUMS. THERE REALLY AREN'T ANY REAL GET DOWN AND DIRTY DANCE TRACKS ON HERE, BUT THAT'S OKAY. CURTIS STILL DEALS WITH THE SOCIAL ISSUES THAT PLAGUE THE WORLD(I THINK HE WAS THE MOST RELEVANT ARTIST OF THE 70'S AND HIS GROUP, THE IMPRESSIONS WERE THE MOST RELEVANT OF THE 60'S) AND LOVE. MY FAVORITE SONGS ON HERE ARE "SUFFER", "MAKE ME BELIEVE IN YOU"(THE BASSLINE REMINDS ME OF FREDDIE'S DEAD), "LOVE ME"(RIGHT IN THE POCKET),"CANNOT FIND A WAY" "MOTHER'S SON"(THE BASSLINE IS WICKED ON THIS AS WELL), AND HIS BIGGEST HIT ON HERE "KUNG FU". I HAVE CURTIS' FIRST 5 ALBUMS AND I PLAN TO BUY HIS OTHER ALBUMS SUCH AS "THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE AMERICA TODAY" AND OTHERS. 4 STARS.

Two great records on one CD, listened to them both at separate times to absorb them as separate records.Great tunes on both and his backing band is amazing as usual. Do not hesitate to buy this even if you've only heard pusherman or superfly.It's a shame that Curtis is not here anymore and there's that melancholy that pervades his albums now, RIP Curtis Mayfield.

Nothing like listening to good old school music Loved it.

An all-time classic from start to finish. There's only one Curtis Mayfield and he's never sounded better than on Sweet Exorcist!

classic Curtis at its best, must have

The Music was classic Curtis, It had his poignant soul stirring rhythm and his deep and relevant social themes.

Curtis Mayfield again doing his thing for the mind.

Curtis Mayfield 若いとき数十年前にレコード買って持ているんですがまさかCDであるなんてこれもアマゾン検索恐るべしCurtis Mayfield あるんですもんね

I had this first record. I had more of Curtis's records, but this first song has always been my favourite. Irrisistable. Head beater.Of course the rest is Curtis at its best as well.Buy this.
