Black Ensemble honors music of Curtis Mayfield
At Sunday afternoon's opening of "It's All-Right to Have a Good Time: The Story of Curtis Mayfield" at Black Ensemble Theater, two of the 10 sons of the great Chicago-born singer and songwriter were in the audience, along with Altheida Mayfield, his widow. Todd and Kirk Mayfield were gracious and clearly moved, thanking the company for, as they put it, "honoring the music."
