Music Video Distributors is pleased to announce the home viewing release of Curtis Mayfield in Concert for US distribution on DVD. This 60-minute DVD features Curtis Mayfield in a rare live performance. Perhaps because he didn't cross over to the pop audience as heavily as Motown's stars, it may be that the scope of MayfieldÕs talents and contributions have yet to be fully recognized. Judged merely by his records alone, the man's legacy is enormous. As the leader of the Impressions, he recorded some of the finest soul vocal group music of the 1960s. As a solo artist in the 1970s, he helped pioneer funk, and helped introduce hard-hitting urban commentary into soul music. ""Gypsy Woman,"" ""It's All Right,"" ""People Get Ready,"" ""Freddie's Dead,"" and ""Superfly"" are merely the most famous of his many hit records and are included on this live performance DVD. Recorded in Dolby Digital 5.1 PCM Stereo, the DVD includes eight tracks, an interview with the producer, Bernhard Roessle, and an artist biography and sound tuning. On this DVD, MayfieldÕs vocals and guitar work shine through! Tracks: Superfly ItÕs Allright Gypsy Woman Dobe Down FreddieÕs Dead Pusherman Billy Jack We Gotta Have Peace
