Mayfield todd (19 Ergebnisse)

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Society of Midland Authors Literary Award Winner Curtis Mayfield was one of the seminal vocalists and most talented guitarists of his era. But perhaps more important is his role as a social critic, and the vital influence his music had on the civil rights movement. People Get Ready is the black anthem of the 1960s, and on his soundtrack to the 1972 movie Super Fly, rather than glorifying the blaxploitation imagery of the film, Mayfield wrote and sang one of the most incisive audio portraits of black America on record. In Traveling Soul, Todd Mayfield tells his famously private father's story in riveting detail. Born into dire poverty, raised in the slums of Chicago, Curtis became a musical prodigy, not only singing like a dream but also growing into a brilliant songwriter. In the 1960s he became a pioneer, opening his own label and production company and working with many other top artists, including the Staple Singers. Curtis's life was famously cut short by an accident that left him paralyzed, but in his declining health he received the long-awaited recognition of the music industry. Passionate, illuminating, vivid, and absorbing, Traveling Soul will doubtlessly take its place among the classics of music biography.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Curtis Mayfield war einer der bahnbrechenden Sänger und talentiertesten Gitarristen seiner Zeit. Aber vielleicht noch wichtiger ist seine Rolle als Sozialkritiker und der entscheidende Einfluss, den seine Musik auf die amerikanische Bürgerrechtsbewegung hatte. »People Get Ready« ist die schwarze Hymne der 1960er-Jahre, und mit seinem Soundtrack zum Film »Super Fly« von 1972 schrieb und sang Mayfield eines der prägnantesten Audioporträts des schwarzen Amerikas.In Traveling Soul erzählt Todd Mayfield, der zweitälteste Sohn von Curtis Mayfield, in Zusammenarbeit mit Travis Atria die öffentliche ebenso wie die private Geschichte seines berühmten Vaters in fesselnden Details. In bittere Armut geboren und in den Slums von Chicago aufgewachsen, entwickelte sich Curtis zu einem musikalischen Wunderkind, das nicht nur wunderbar sang, sondern auch zu einem brillanten Songwriter heranwuchs. In den 1960er-Jahren wurde er zu einem Vorreiter, gründete sein eigenes Label sowie seine eigene Produktionsfirma und arbeitete mit vielen anderen herausragenden Künstlern zusammen. Curtis Mayfields Leben erfuhr 1990 durch einen Unfall, der ihn gelähmt zurückließ, einen großen Einschnitt. Doch während sich sein Gesundheitszustand immer weiter verschlechterte, gelang ihm noch ein letzter großer musikalischer Wurf und er erhielt zudem auch von offizieller Seite die lang ersehnte Würdigung für sein Lebenswerk. …
