Curtis is the landmark debut solo album from Curtis Mayfield, released in 1970 on his own Curtom Records label. Stepping out from his celebrated tenure as the leader of The Impressions, Mayfield made an immediate and bold statement, moving away from polished pop-soul toward a grittier, funk-driven sound with a distinctly psychedelic edge.
Deeply rooted in the social and political consciousness of its era, Curtis showcases Mayfield's extraordinary gift for weaving messages of empowerment, awareness, and resilience into irresistibly soulful music. Anchored by towering tracks like "(Don't Worry) If There's a Hell Below We're All Going to Go" and "Move On Up," the album remains one of the most powerful and influential records in soul and funk history — a fearless artistic statement that continues to resonate decades after its release.
