         Curtis Mayfield - The Very Best Of Curtis Mayfield

Review from allmusic.com
by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Rhino's The Very Best of Curtis Mayfield is devoted to material the legendary 
soul man recorded after leaving the Impressions, focusing particularly on his 
classic songs from the early '70s. There are more comprehensive compilations 
on the market, namely the sublime double-disc Anthology and the flawed but 
worthwhile box set People Get Ready, but this is the best bet for anyone 
wanting a concise sampler of Mayfield's groundbreaking funk-soul, since it 
contains all of the bare-bone essentials: "(Don't Worry) If There's a Hell 
Below, We're All Going to Go," "Move on Up," "We Got to Have Peace," 
"Freddie's Dead," "Superfly," "Pusherman," "Future Shock," and "Kung Fu." 
Yes, Mayfield also made cohesive, frequently stunning albums during this era 
and his work with the Impressions was just as influential, but this disc benefits 
from its narrow focus, since the end result is a collection ideal for the curious 
and the novice, while also providing a great listen for anyone who already 
knows the records.
