I always felt this song sounded like it could of been on the Superfly soundtrack.
been on a journey tonight of exploring my uncle's work. he was peter milan sova, director of photography. i am genuinely proud of him for being a part of this. short eyes is such an intense film, and i am grateful that milan was not only involved, but actually influenced it in order to make it what it is. RIP to an absolute legend, whatever that means on the internet… edit: i miss you uncle milan, hope you can see or feel this energy from where you're at
Nastee tune here……..
Wish I could find a live version of this song. I guess this is as good as its gonna get. At least we get to see Curtis singing it. As a musician, I'd love to be able to watch all the musicians play this song to though.

I didn't play this song for a year until now. The last time that I played Curtis Mayfield short eyes soundtrack was the day that my family members told me that my dad was dead from an heart Attack.
