From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kicking off with a remake of The Impressions' "Ain't Got Time," Curtis Mayfield's Sweet Exorcist is a mid-tempo funk album that continued to mine Mayfield's signature soul vein. "To Be Invisible" was a standout track, and the album's requisite hit single, "Kung Fu," cashed in on the then-current martial arts craze. It failed, however, to match the success of Carl Douglas's "Kung Fu Fighting," also from 1974.
In 2001, The song "Kung Fu" was covered by The Dirtbombs on their album Ultraglide in Black.
