Curtis Mayfield: Don't Worry, If There's A Hell Below (We're All Gonna Go)
[purchase]
Curtis Mayfield is one of the few members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame who have been inducted more than once - first with the Impressions in 1991 and again as a solo artist in 1999. The lowdown about the tune from allmusic:
Mayfield's fragile falsetto voice continues to get hit with doses of tape echo throughout the seven-plus minute track, a technique that influenced reggae/ dub producers like Lee "Scratch" Perry. It is a caustic rack, especially as the first single from Mayfield's solo career, but it did well on the charts, reaching number three on the R&B charts and 29 on the pop charts.
I'm glad to have occasion to post this, one of Curtis Mayfield's most overlooked songs.
