Needs Expansion[edit]

Can we do a strong effort to expand this article, and get a little more into it? I will be making efforts to improve this article. A great like Curtis deserves it. Kaleidoscopic God (talk) 10:07, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'll see what I can do, because I agree that this article looks nasty right now, and Mr. Mayfield deserves better. Stevie (talk) 22:07, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Curtis Mayfield[edit]

Mr. Mayfield was an amazing musician, and human being. I grew up with his daughter. We were in 4th and 5th grade together. We were inseparable. He and his wife always treated me with kindness and welcomed me into their home. I was so saddened when first I heard of his accident when he was paralyzed, and then his death in 1999. His Wiki page definetly deserves an updated look and some editing.

expansion[edit]

Really expanded and thickened the introduction section of this article, really showcasing his many achievements as a musician, also makes the article look much more snazzy, but it has a long way to go. If any other editors can help with this cleanup, would be much appreciated. It will take work, but really looking to get this to FA status, it's definitely possible.
