''There's No Place Like America Today'' is the seventh studio album by Curtis Mayfield. "Billy Jack" updated the streetwise chic of "Superfly", while "So in Love" was one of his most affecting love songs. The album was featured in ''1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die'', published in 2005 by Cassell Illustrated.〔(Outline Page )〕 The track "Hard Times" was originally recorded by Baby Huey & the Babysitters (which Mayfield produced) and later covered by John Legend and The Roots on the collaborative cover album ''Wake Up!'', featuring Black Thought, as the opening track. The track "Blue Monday People" is a reference to the hit rock 'n' roll song "Blue Monday" by Fats Domino recorded in 1956. The track "Billy Jack" was later covered by Lenny Kravitz on the compilation album ''A Tribute to Curtis Mayfield'' in 1994. The beginning of "So In Love" was used as the sample track by Swagnificent for "Love Song", which appears on his 2013 album ''It's All About The Abrahams''. ==Album cover== The album cover was based on a famous photograph by Margaret Bourke-White of flood victims in 1937. The original photograph was published in the February 15, 1937 edition of ''Life'' magazine.〔http://thesocietypages.org/socimages/2008/05/31/worlds-highest-standard-of-living-if-youre-white-and-not-poor/ World's Highest Standard of Living〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「There's No Place Like America Today」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
