Mayfield began singing with gospel groups such as the Northern Jubilee Singers, who were part of his grandmother's Traveling Soul Spiritualist Church. Butler's cool baritone dominated the record, and he left to pursue a solo career. Mayfield then entered a prolific period during which his writing and singing would come to define the Chicago sound, which rivaled Motown in the early and mid-'60s. With the Impressions, Mayfield produced, wrote, and sang lead on numerous hits; some included uplifting civil-rights-movement messages.
In the late '60s Mayfield started his third company, Curtom, this one distributed by Buddah Records. During the '70s Curtom moved from Buddah to Warner Bros.
In Mayfield also made a major career move, leaving the Impressions to go solo, though he continued to direct the group's career through the decade. Number 21 , and Roots Number 40 all sold well, establishing Mayfield as a solo performer.
But it was his soundtrack to the blaxploitation film Superfly that is generally considered his masterpiece — an eerie yet danceable blend of Mayfield's knowing falsetto with Latin percussion and predisco rhythm guitars. It foreshadowed Mayfield's continued involvement with film in the '70s. Two years later Mayfield and Franklin would team again for Almighty Fire. In Mayfield would both score and act in the low-budget prison drama Short Eyes, a critical success.
Mayfield rejoined the Impressions for a reunion tour. Mayfield's recording career hit a wall when Boardwalk went bankrupt, but he formed his own CRC label to release 's We Come in Peace With a Message of Love, which went unnoticed, as did his album for the revived Curtom label distributed by Atlanta's Ichiban. Mayfield continued touring, however, and was especially popular in England, where the band the Blow Monkeys recorded a duet with him in , " Celebrate The Day After You.
On August 14, , while Mayfield was performing an outdoor concert in Brooklyn, New York, a lighting rig fell atop him, leaving him permanently paralyzed from the neck down. Mayfield and the Impressions were subsequently inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and a lavish and emotional tribute was paid to Mayfield at the Grammy Awards gala.
Considerably weakened by his quadriplegia, Mayfield was forced to record some of his vocals one line at a time. This is because the diaphragm, which is crucial to vocal control, was rendered paralyzed by Mayfield's spinal cord injury.
The record was warmly greeted. Unfortunately, complications from diabetes, which had resulted in the amputation of a leg in , led to his death at age 57 in Just prior to his death, he and the Impressions had recorded their part of an all-star version of "People Get Ready" for the Atlanta's Year celebration.
