Nov 18, 2008 - Simply amazing. Words cannot express the musical genius that is Curtis Mayfield. His ability to channel the strongest and emotionally powerful messages in the shortest songs is a testament to his brilliance. Too bad he didn't have the powerful commercial backing of most of his counterparts back in the day. But, come to think of it, perhaps he liked it that way.God bless you, Curtis. And Taylor Dane, I am highly impressed with your contribution to this wonderful song.
speedyhomey Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Yep. He was the lead singer for The Impressions. He wrote a bunch of the group's songs including this beautiful one.

Nov 18, 2008 - Pretty Similar, But Curtis penned this nearly 10 years Eearlier
leedsbulldog Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Is it just me who noticed, but I think Curtis came in too early with 'There aint no Room' This live session was a different arrangement to the single, with the Sax Riff being added. I think it threw him because thats the place he would have come in on the previous 1000 live performasnces he did of this song - No Critiscism - just an observation. Simone from Leeds UK

Nov 18, 2008 - great version. I love willie chambers' vocal, but here I can understand the words. Besides the fact that Curtis' rendition is totally different

guitaaron Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - I'm not sure if it was intended as a semi ~cover~ or what, but has anyone else noticed that John Mayer's "Waiting on the world to change" is really really similar to this song melodically and rhythmically?
