Curtis Mayfield – Roots LP (Orange Vinyl)

Description: Roots is Curtis Mayfield’s visionary album, a landmark creation every bit as compelling and far-reaching in it’s musical and extra-musical goals as Marvin Gaye’s contemporary What’s Goin’ On. Opening on the hit “Get Down,” the album soars on some of the sweetest and most eloquent – yet driving – soul sounds heard up to that time. – Curtis Mayfield was an American soul, rhythm and blues and funk singer, songwriter, and record producer.
