Back in 1972, this 18-year-old white boy was snapping up all the Curtis he could, and it was a good time to do it: Get Down, Beautiful Brother of Mine, Superfly, Move On Up and Freddie’s Dead, just to name some. He had a silky smooth delivery that went hand-in-hand with lyrics that bespoke a politcally-tinged, iron-willed resolve. God bless him and rest in peace; if only he had lived to see the change that is indeed about to come.
