Black Ensemble’s first tribute of the season is the story of a musical giant. He was the master song writer of his time. From the music of the Impressions like “Gypsy Woman,” “I’m So Proud,” “Choice of Colors” to the movie hits like “Superfly,” he was a genius of a musician, a dynamite songwriter and a loving human being. The music of Chicago’s own Curtis Mayfield is known and celebrated all over the world.
