07.26.12 - Curtis Mayfield Tribute

LISTEN TO THE ARCHIVE AT JAMAICAROCK.COM


Curtis Mayfield


















At least once a year, I love to do a Curtis Mayfield tribute show. Not only is he an obviously outstanding and influential musician, he is also responsible for my DJ name. The Impressions "Minstrel & Queen", which I started the show off with, is the song that influenced the Techniques to do "Queen Majesty" which then spawned the Queen Majesty riddim that is still being used for new tracks today. The whole show is an homage to Curtis Mayfiels and The Impressions, with actual Jamaican cover songs of theirs, as well as songs from other Jamaican male singers and harmony groups.
