Reelin’ in the Years, unlike many producers of music documentaries, actually “accumulate it” and know that fans who care enough about an artist to hold such DVD’s want to the stare COMPLETE songs, and this DVD delivers in that fashion as did their previous pleasurable Otis Redding site.
This DVD mixes rare interview footage of the underrated King of message-oriented Soul Music with new interviews with his widow and his fellow Impressions Sam Gooden and Fred Cash (Jerry Butler is mnetioned, but does not appear) . The surviving Impresssions have passe well and they part some consuming anecdotes. One in particular involves producer Johnny Pate (who also appears) talking the guys out of recording the fresh lyrics to the Curtis classic “We’re a Winner” (the finished song was banned by some pop stations in 1967 for supposedly being inflammatory) and Joey Bishop having to intervene to allow the guys to state “Choice fo Colors” on his prove in 1968. These songs lyrics are deep, but any controversy will elope those under 45 who are primitive to more strident stuff.

The vintage videos are indeed enchanting. At a time when James Brown and Jackie Wilson’s histrionics and manic gymnastics on the stage brought the houses down, Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions were not ample on choreography, but the lyrical recount of the songs were such that audiences would actually sit quietly and listen to what they had to say before applauding (as is seen in the “We’re a Winner” clip from about 1967) . In “This is My Country,” soon-to-be star Clifton Davis begins the tune with a mighty poem celebrating the relevance of CM&TI’s lyrics in articulating the concerns of Shadowy America (mark Fred Cash trying to shroud his coughing during Davis’ poem) . Too unpleasant this doesn’t (yet) appear on any relate.
The sets appealing the songs from ‘Superfly” (post Impressions) are bright to compare with his previous work. During “Freddie’s Dull,” Curtis’s band smokes (the conga player in particular), although fans of the fresh may miss the horns and strings that elaborate the tune. Haters of Blaxploitation films and the execute they had on Shadowy youth of the day (the Gangster rap/minstrel shows of the 70s) will be elated to learn that Curtis also hated the film and wrote the music to exhibit the proper tragedy of the drug lifestyle that “Stupidfly” renowned.
In either case, it’s a history lesson with a beat that you can dance to. Take it, learn, and bask in.
Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions didn’t objective beget music, they sent
great sounding and universally useful social messages and it’s no exaggeration to say their records were the factual heart and soul of many a disc collection. (Impartial mention the name Curtis Mayfield and a deep warm feeling arises in nearly anyone who has ever heard and been moved by he and they.)
This handsome DVD overview of Curtis, Fred and Sam was long overdue. In addition to welcome video footage including Germany’s legendary Beat Club,the Joey Bishop explain, “In Concert”, some corny Dick Clark staging and powerful more we earn to peek Mayfield’s impact be given a qualified and fitting perspective from those who were there.
Hearing the Curtis epic from the mouths of his astonishing wife Altheida, surviving Impressions Fred Cash and Sam Gooden, Andrew Young, producer Johnny Pate and musicians Carlos Santana and a revealingly impressive Chuck D we learn of ths history, impact, and driving force slack the sound on both the personal and macro levels. And as many of us have always known,that driving force was Curtis’s deep treasure for not objective music but for humanity,which,through composition he aimed to bring together.
Bravo to the director, producers and interviewer for this labor of treasure and gift to fans and will be fans. The gospel of Curtis and company is one that,even now, could support our world.Plus his music had a beat..and you could dance to it-even when you danced,as sometimes evidenced here, horribly!
