Curtis Mayfield chronology
Take It to the Streets (1990) New World Order (1997)

New World Order is Curtis Mayfield’s final album. He was paralyzed during the recording, but still managed to both sing and oversee the project. According to Australian radio station Triple J, Mayfield managed to painstakingly record his songs by laying on his back, the only way he could get enough air into his lungs, and singing one line at a time. After he recorded each line, the songs were edited together.
