Curtis / Curtis Mayfield 1970
*ニュー・ソウル３人男の一人、カーティス・メイフィールド氏、１９７０年のソロ・デビュー・アルバムです。まっ黄っ黄のジャケに長いあしーも裏返すと何とも・・・柔和そうなお顔。別に役員でも無いのにとにかく世話好きな町内会のおじさんって感じで。実際、時が時なら優しい愛の歌を徹頭徹尾歌ってくれる人かと。ところがその時がそれを許さず。そんなおじさんが子供達の頭を撫でているだけでは済まされない状況を目の当たりにして動かざるを得なかった。そこまでになる事態ってどんなだったろうかてのは我らの想像の範囲を超え。しかし国、環境、時間を越えても実際人事では無い出来事が連発の現在、もうリアルにこの音楽が心に響いてきます。パンクなのかもしれん。アルバムは一編の映画を見るように映像を伴って。こんな映画だ。
ある街にその人柄で人気のお肉屋さんがありました。人気商品はコロッケで子供達にねだられてやってくる沢山のお母さん達で店はいつも賑やか。そんな平和な商店街に白人経営のカジノがオープンするとゆう話が持ち上がり。郊外の大型スーパーのせいで日々寂しくなる通りに賛成する商店主もおり。ところがいかにも物騒なお兄さん達が街を闊歩するようになり、ドラッグの臭いも。お肉屋さんがかわいがってた少年達の中からも一人また一人と悪の道に入道するものが。しかもカジノは町のど真ん中、一番古い、お婆さんの金物屋さんんのところに立つとゆう。肝心なそのお婆さん、頑固としてその誘いに乗らず、立ち退かず。ヤクザたちは何かとゆうと嫌がらせを始める。あまりのそのひどさに心労で倒れて入院してしまう。最初のうちは我慢我慢と言ってたお肉屋さん。そこまで来た事態についに立ち上がる。実は幼少の頃から少林寺拳法をたしなむ武道の名手だったのだ。恐怖に震える街の衆を説得して反対運動開始。最初こそ全員が町のために結束したものの、ヤクザたちの執拗な暴力、もしくは金銭による懐柔で、沈黙するもの、裏切るもの。最後にはついに一人だけの運動になってしまう。店は折りにつけての嫌がらせにより度々破壊され、黙って修理、また壊されの繰り返し。いよいよカジノ・センター建設着工のその日。コロッケを大量に作り終え、たった一人で現場に乗り込むお肉屋カーティス。５０人の屈強なボディガードに囲まれ、戦う。その姿を遠巻きに見ていた町の衆。あるものは大根を。あるものはジャンボ・ポッキーを。あるものはスリコギ棒を持って
「Move on Up」
♪しっ！ぼうや。泣かないで みんなは君のことをわかっているよ 折につけ
立ち上がりなさい 目的に向かって 君は見つける やっかいなことを
唇を噛み締め 旅立つのだ そこには多分 濡れた道しかない
けっして滑らないよ 立ち上がりなさい 最後には見つける 大いなる平和を
美しい人々のものの それはたった一つの真実
しっ！ぼうや。泣かないで みんなは君のことをわかっているよ 折につけ
だから立ち上がりなさい 望みを持ち続け 夢を思い出して それだけが君の望みだったろう
頑張れ 失うものは何もない 一番いい方法ではないかもしれなくても 負けるな 屈服せず
言わなければならない 君は試されているんだ
立ち上がりなさい
意気に感じて交えるはダン池田とニュー・ブリードのような楽団の皆さん。持てる力の渾身を。古い感覚、技術かもしれぬ。その果敢なる有様の何とダイナミックでスリリリング、勇気。カーティスさんが、元来そんなことが出来ない人であることは皆わかってる。それでもやらざるを得なかったその気持ちを。一人一人がスパルタカスとして立ち上がらねばこの世はけっして良くならず。力無き金無きもののの声は愚行と思えるほど弱く、しかし何より数がいるはずだ。リーダーの先導に従うのでは無く、リアルな自分の気持ちで
「Move on Up」。

To Jake of Ki yellow indescribably when you turn a long reed inside out ゥ･ A face that seems to be tender. The uncle of an anyway obliging in spite of not being a town association separately : even the director in feeling. Actually, is it a person who thoroughly sings the song of gentle love if time is time?However, that time doesn't permit it. I could not help moving witnessing the situation that only such an uncle was patting children's head and not finished. As for the situation that becomes so much, what exceeds the range of our imagination. However, the event in human affairs without actually even if the country, the environment, and time are exceeded sounds and this music of firing in rapid succession has sounded in the mind in the round now. ..whether it is blowout.. .The album : like seeing the movie of one volume attended with the image. It is such a movie.
It was the character and there was a popular butcher in a certain town. Always the article in great demands are a lot of mothers plead for by the croquette by children and the shop is always always lively. The casino of the white management lifts in such a peaceful shopping street and an open story lifts. The main shop that agrees as becoming lonely every day because of the hypermarket in suburbs also descends. However, really dangerous elder brothers come to stalk in the town, and the smell of the drug also :. The one becoming a priest the road of evil with one person and one person : from among boys whom the butcher loved. It is ..panting.. ..inside in which no Ma.. oldest of the town, and when it stands in grandmother's Mr. hardware shop, the casino moreover ..going... It doesn't get on the invitation the essential old woman and obstinately, and it doesn't clear out. Yakuza variously start the annoying. It falls awfully of the remainder of that in the anxiety and it is hospitalized. Among, it is a butcher who said the endurance endurance. Finally, it stands up the coming situation so much. To tell the truth, it was an expert of martial arts that liked Shaolin Temple Kung Fu at infancy. The great number in the town that trembles with fear is persuaded and it begins the protest campaign. Only the first one that becomes silent and betrayed one in conciliation by yakuza's obstinate violence or money though all members united for the town. It becomes an exercise only of finally one person at the end. The repair and destruction are repeated the frequent destruction to the fold by the applied having ..the dislike.., and a silence the shop. The day of Casino Center construction starting constructing more and more. It finishes is making, and a large amount of is butcher Curtis who arrives at the site all alone as for the croquette. It is enclosed by 50 powerful bodyguards, and it fights. Great number in town where the appearance was seen to come in Tooma. A certain one : the radish. A certain one : the jumbo Pocky. A certain one has the Sricogi stick and is "Move on Up" ♪. Little boy. Everyone : the found troublesome thing ..you.. without crying Me ..apply and standing up.. toward O you.
Lip..bite..tighten..start on a journey..perhaps..get wet..road..provide..

Stand up.
You of the band like Ikeda of ..peel.. Dan who exchanges it and a new breed, etc. feel it in moraleThe whole body of the power that can be had. Do the be known of neither an old sense nor the technology. It is very dynamic, and it is Sririring, and courage of the state that resolutely becomes it. It is understood that Curtis is all people who cannot originally do such a thing. Still, the feelings that could not help being done. This world never improves when each one stands up as Spartacus. It is weak can think that money without power no kimono Coe is a foolery and there must be number in above all. It is not according to the leader's guide, and it is feelings of me real and "Move on Up".
