Released in 1970, Curtis is the groundbreaking debut album from soul and funk legend Curtis Mayfield, former lead singer of The Impressions. Self-produced and released on his own Curtom Records, this album marks a shift from the pop soul of his past to a funk and psychedelic-inspired sound. A powerful reflection of Mayfield’s personal experiences, Curtis addresses social and political issues, with the iconic single "Move On Up" becoming a timeless anthem, later covered and sampled by artists like The Jam and Kanye West.
