"Roots" by Curtis Mayfield (1971)
CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
Curtis Mayfield "Roots"  1971 (USA)
Curtis Mayfield was a uniquely multitalented musician: he sang in a distinctive falsetto, played masterful guitar, wrote all the songs for his classic soul group The Impressions, scored several movies, and started his own record label (Curtom Records). Arguably Curtis' peak period was 1970-1972, which comprised his first two solo albums, the classic Superfly movie soundtrack, and the greatest double-live album of the seventies. Roots was his second record as a solo artist.
In Japanese pop news, Eimi Naruse is "graduating" (retiring) from Dempagumi.inc this week after a farewell concert in Tokyo to be held on February 16. The most recent time the group performed was a webstream "virtual concert" in November, from which they have just released the performance of their latest single "Positive Story". Eimi wrote the lyrics (English subtitles included in the video), and she is happeeee!
