roots

In 1970 Mayfield left the Impressions to embark on his own stellar solo career. Released in 1971 just months before his legendary Superfly album, Roots was Mayfield's second release as a solo artist and delivers everything that we expect vintage Curtis to deliver: non-stop back-to-back soul-drenched R&B. But Curtis was not just an R&B singer - he was a man with a message and in some ways the voice of black America who openly criticizing America's social and economic politics at home and abroad.
