Historical and exclusive live performance from the almighty Chicago soul singer. By 1972 the German TV show Beat Club would let famous artists stretch out and play more than just the usual one or two hits. In this case Mayfield recorded an hour of music in a TV studio for the producers to select from. Most of this performane was lost in someone’s vault for many years. The concert is from early 1972 and predates his masterpiece “Superfly”. You’ll find several tracks from his two earlier acclaimed solo albums as well: “Curtis” and “Roots.” An astonishing performance you wouldn’t miss!
