Various Artists - Covered: Curtis Mayfield, Volume 3: 1977-1994

Here's Volume 3 of my Covered series for Curtis Mayfield. As with the others in this series, these are cover versions of songs written by Mayfield, not his own versions.

Mayfield was a big star with lots of hits in the 1960s and early 1970s, but that petered out as the 1970s continued. He lost out to changing tastes and musical styles, especially the rise of disco. However, his musical legacy was tremendous, as can be seen by the wide variety of covers.

The songs here are generally those from his most successful years of the 1960s and early 1970s. We finally get covers of some of his biggest hits, like "People Get Ready" and "Superfly."

But this isn't the last volume. There's one more that scoops up all the key songs not included so far.

This album is 49 minutes long.

The cover art photo was taken in 1981. This time, I didn't have to change anything. Even the background is as is.
