CURTIS MAYFIELD
Curtis Mayfield had a profound impact on R&B but remains one of its underrated legends. In the late 1950s, he and Jerry Butler formed a group named The Impressions. When the latter quit, Mayfield took on a larger role in directing the vocal act. Together, the group released a series of soul staples: "Gypsy Woman", "It's All Right" and "People Get Ready". 
In 1970, Mayfield launched his solo career. He incorporated social commentary into his brand of funk. His 1972 soundtrack for the blaxploitation film 'Super Fly' is still highly regarded to this day. 
Mayfield's 80s output did not match his material from the preceding decades. Tragedy struck in 1990, when a lighting rig collapsed on him during a concert in Brooklyn. New York. He was left paralyzed from the neck down. He died 9 years later, aged 57.
