Curtis Mayfield was one of the seminal vocalists and most talented guitarists of his era. He was also a social critic, and his music had a vital influence on the civil rights movement. Todd Mayfield tells his famously private father's story in riveting detail, from his birth into dire poverty and life in the slums of Chicago to the tragic accident that left him paralyzed, and his long-awaited recognition by the music industry.

To me, some of the best biographies are those told by someone who was actually with the person, and saw them as they really were, such as a family member. To us, Curtis Mayfield was a superstar, a velvet voice, whose music spanned decades of time. To Todd Mayfield, he was dad, plain and simple. Traveling Soul has accomplished its mission in linking the bridge between Curtis Mayfield’s personal life, and his musician life. The story is sturdy, real, raw, and gritty. I found myself going back in time, thinking back to when I was a little girl, listening to the music with my parents, and it made me pull out my old music to listen as I read.
I personally feel that Traveling Soul is a well written book, enjoyable, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys music, biographies, or just looking for a good read. A special thank you to Todd Mayfield for sharing your dad’s story with us. (
