‘Save the children…’

Curtis Mayfield’s “We Got To Have Peace” originally appeared on the artist’s Roots L.P. in the fall of 1971.

Here’s Mayfield and his band performing for the UK’s Old Grey Whistle Test show in 1972. The message is still (unfortunately) relevant and the playing superb. Listen in.
