Choral Octavo. 16 pages. Alfred Music #00-50151. Published by Alfred Music (AP.50151). UPC: 038081573212. English.Immortalized by Rolling Stone as one of the greatest songs of all time, this gospel-influenced Curtis Mayfield classic has remained relevant since its release in 1965.

Kyle's groovy arrangement captures the musical style with bluesy vocals and a riff-filled piano part.
