Title: Curtis Mayfield
Post by: Laconic on August 11, 2008, 11:25:22 AM

This is one of my favorite tracks from him.  He recorded the 1997 album New World Order while paralyzed after a lighting equipment fell on him while performing on stage.  He couldn't move from the neck down.  Check a sample from the album:

I know Freddie's Dead from Mauz, and that song is incredible!
