Pretty much all his albums in the 70s were great. A great talent was lost  | |

I'd also recommend you check out some of his Impressions work to understand his amazing evolution to quasi-traditional crooner to a superbad soul star and revolutionary, a la Stevie. Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016

you probably were listening to his influence indirectly all this time and simply didn't realize it. He has had a huge influence on everyone from Jimi Hendrix to George Benson. | |

My 2 favourite Curtis albums are "Superfly" and "There's no place like America today".
Social critisicm,dark funk combined with some of the most beautiful pieces ever recorded. Try to listen to "When seasons change" in headphones and not get goosebumps.
