Roots is Curtis Mayfield's visionary album, a landmark creation every bit as compelling and far-reaching in its musical and extra-musical goals as Marvin Gaye's contemporary What's Goin' On. Opening on the hit ""Get Down,"" the album soars on some of the sweetest and most eloquent -- yet driving -- soul sounds heard up to that time.
