Charly

Back to the World, the first album Curtis Mayfield recorded and released after hitting number one with the intense inner-city vignette Superfly, returned him to a steady balance of optimism for the future and direct social commentary regarding the problems of his people. The lead single, Future Shock, was inspired by Alvin Toffler's 1970 book of the same name, which warned readers that industrial society was changing so radically that environmental and social problems could be endemic for decades. The track tapped into the same grooves and brass heard on Superfly, but said more about the world around ("We got to stop all men, from messing up the land / When won't we understand, this is our last and only chance?"). The title track was very upbeat and positive, as were the refreshing If I Were Only a Child Again and Future Song (Love a Good Woman, Love a Good Man).
