(Photo courtesy of the Curtis Mayfield estate) The Impressions’ Fred Cash talked to Brad Farberman of The Village Voice recently about the first time that he met the late great pop, soul, funk and R&B music icon Curtis Mayfield: “When I was living in Chattanooga, and they did their last show [with Butler], that’s when I met Curtis Mayfield. After Jerry had left. I just thought he was a genuine guy. He had so much talent, playing guitar and writing songs, you know? I just really, really admired him. And thought he was a great writer. And a producer as well. And a good friend.” Here But I’m Gone: A 70th Birthday Tribute to Curtis Mayfield takes place tomorrow night in Avery Fisher Hall as part of this year’s Lincoln Center Festival.
