<B>CURTIS MAYFIELD - ROOTS (AMG****)</B><BR>최근 레니 크레비츠, 프린스 등에 의해 회자되며 재평가 되고 있는 시카고 소울의 대가 커티스 메이필드의 2번째 앨범. 데뷔작 <CURTIS>, 3집 <SUPERFLY>와 함께 시카고 사이키델릭 소울을 대표하는 3부작으로 평가되고 있는 본 작품은 싸이케델릭하며 그루브한 기타연주와 애절한 소울창법 그리고 화려한 브라스 & 스트링이 완벽하게 결합한 블랙뮤직의 걸작 앨범으로 그 동안 많은 애청자들의 수입요청이 되어왔던 작품이다. .... ....
Get down, baby To the funky, funky, funky groove Get down, baby Let the light reflect upon your natural mood
Get down, baby Your creative mood shall express itself Get down, baby After life and desire there is nothing left
We're all children of the world A hungry man in search for a hungry girl It's strange, so plain we're all cannibal The most wasted and two faced of all animals
Get down, get down Get down, get down
Take my soul, baby When you reel I can feel so much desire Take my soul, baby Life unfolds from my soul when you start a fire
So get down, just get down
Get down, baby As the rhythm should follow through your able soul Get down, baby Play the part like a pro in a perfect role
Get down, baby To the funky, funky, funky groove Get down, baby Let the light reflect upon your natural mood
One can never point out the actual path Of the mysterious need in a female's heart Man can only follow not knowing how His faith might erupt [Incomprehensible]
So get down, get down Get down, get down Get down
Get down, baby To the funky, funky, funky groove Get down, baby Let the light reflect upon your natural move
Take my soul, baby Your creative mood shall express itself Take my soul, baby After life and desire there is nothing left
Get down, get down Get down, get down Get down, get down Get down, get down
Everybody gather round and listen to my song I've only got one
We who are young, should now take a stand Don't run from the burdens of women and men Continue to give, continue to live For what you know is right
Most of your life can be out of sight Withdraw from the darkness and look to the light Where everyone's free At least that's the way it's supposed to be
We just keep on keeping on We just keep on keeping on
Many think that we have blown it But they too will soon admit That there's still a lot of love among us
And there's still a lot of faith and warmth and trust When we keep on keeping on
Before we dismiss, one thing I insist When you have your young, remember this song And our world surroundings, its leaps and bounds Ups and downs, is reality
Teach them to be strong, and when they are grown They can proudly imply that we were an alright guy For all the wrong now is right This nation's people are now united as one
And we just keep on keeping on We just keep on keeping on
Many think that we have blown it But they too will soon admit That there's still a lot of love among us
And there's still a lot of faith, warmth, and trust When we keep on keeping on
Keep on keeping on, ya'll Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on Keep on, keeping on (Keep on, keeping on)
We got to move on up, ya'll (We got to move on up) Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on
Some years back I remember Still in my mind so well My mama made this [Incomprehensible] And I found it never fails
Never worry too long (Worry too long) About what goes on (About what goes on) Today it's sorrow (Today it's sorrow) Look like joy tomorrow (Look like joy tomorrow)
Keep on keeping on (Keep on keeping on) Keep on, keep on (Keep on, keep on)
We just keep on keeping on We just keep on keeping on
Many think that we have blown it But they too will soon admit That there's still a lot of love among us
And there's still a lot of faith, warmth, and trust When we keep on keeping on
Ooh ooh ooh ooh (Ooh ooh ooh ooh) We're gonna move on up (We're gonna move on up)
Keep on keeping on (Keep on keeping on) Move on, move now (Move on, move now) Keep on keeping on (Keep on keeping on)
Familiar music, familiar sound Does mute your thoughts for the underground Lonely sight for any turning light Future prophesy for the [Incomprehensible]
There'll be equal stay and equal play The underground where none can betray
The underground The underground The underground
There'll be no light, so there can be no sight And you'll judge your fellow men on the stand By what is right They'll all turn black so who's to know As a matter of fact: color, creed and breed must go
The underground The underground
Familiar music, familiar sound Does mute your thoughts for the underground Lonely sight for any turning light Future prophecy for the [Incomprehensible]
