OK, This is obviously a great song and Curtis Mayfield is a superb performer and songwriter...BUT, I'm puzzled as to why one might want to hear this version rather than the original version recorded by Curtis when he was with The Impressions in 1964??
I uploaded it a couple of months ago and it spent a little time on LRC and ended up at 32/9 (78%), but it was rejected. I did try.

Don't know how many people have heard it, but there's an interesting and unique "heavy" arrangement of this song that was recorded by Vanilla Fudge in the late 60's psychedelic era.

That must be the song I am thinking of when I heard the melody. I also thought of Waiting for the world to change by john mayer. I also thought of one love by marley because of the words. This is a good song....
Pretty sure that Curtis preceded them all

I've waited for this moment! I've loved my man since I was a kid. I never had the opportunity to experience him live but I kept him in my heart anyhow. He influenced too many to list. God rest your mighty soul Curtis...

I heard this song for the first time when I was 15, listening live bootlegs of U2, in 1987 they used to play this song during their american branch of joshua tree tour....

Thank you for playing Curtis, especially this song. He was a unique talent, full of wisdom and compassion. This world is a little darker and colder without him.

I can never hear too much Curtis

This track was plucked from his Live at the Bitter End album...which just so happens to be one of the coolest live albums around. A must have for Curtis fans.

Thought I'd mention that Bob Marley combined this with his own "One Love" to great effect.

Yeah -- he should definitely rethink the "sorry" on "Move On Up"!

Yes, this is real soul - we thought Curtis Mayfield was a god down in Chattanooga where I'm from- where can we hear music like this now?
