Any
composition with Curtis Mayfield involved normally grabs the attention of all
soul music lovers. Curtis Mayfield wrote this uplifting composition with lyrics to encourage
the listener into action by accepting that the time for self-pity was over and
that one should acknowledge his or her worth, even in the face of opposition.
The song points people towards collective action as a self - improving and
empowering route for both individuals and communities – it does this through
amazing vocals from Curtis set at a gentle uplifting pace.
