Curtis Mayfield – Heartbeat (1979)

A real dancefloor set from Curtis -- recorded with some sweet Philly production from the likes of Norman Harris and Bunny Sigler -- in the sweeping, soaring, strings-heavy mode of the Philly disco records of the time! And yes, this isn't classic Curtis from the righteous years -- but the surprising thing is how well his voice really holds up in the tracks -- coming through with a strength that's fresh and surprising, given some of his disco contemporaries, and sounding pretty darn nice overall, thanks to some tight arrangements by the likes of Fred Wesley, Norman Harris, and Gil Askey. Linda Clifford does a duet with Curtis on "Between You Baby & Me", and the other cuts include "Victory", "Tell Me Tell Me", "You're So Good To Me", "You Better Stop", and "Over The Hump"
