never even seen it
NOTE: I’m back after over a week of being sick. Let’s kick it off strong…
Short Eyes has got to be one of my favorite soundtracks, and also one of my favorite Curtis Mayfield albums as well (though, it’s quite hard to pick). It sounds stupid, but I’ve never even seen the movie - and part of me doesn’t want to. I think I feel like if I wind up not liking it I’ll think less of this album. I don’t know, but these two cuts in particular are just straight amazing and may be something you haven’t heard. I’m not even going to go on a Curtis rant, cause I can’t imagine anyone could dislike him. Give a listen and enjoy.
Curtis Mayfield - Do Do Wap Is Strong In Here
Curtis Mayfield - Freak, Freak, Free, Free, Free
BONUS CUT
Curtis Mayfield - Right On For The Darkness (from the Back To The World LP)
