On June 25, 1971, Curtis Mayfield released his debut album with the single “Move on Up.” The original song was 9 minutes in length and did not chart in the United States. A shorter version made it to number 12 in the United Kingdom. Even though this song was never a hit in the United States, you might hear the lyrics today. The song is the post-game anthem for the Arsenal British soccer club and was on the soundtrack of the movie Bend It Like Beckham. The song could be heard at the end of campaign speeches for President Joe Biden.

Bluffton's Don Burris joins the Icon's Work In Progress Wednesday series with a full DIY remodel of his 1915 kitchen.
Burris notes that this included "removing five layers of flooring, moving the bathroom door, and having new electric installed.
"I then installed new hickory cabinets, butcher block countertops, subway tile backsplash, laminate flooring and new appliances. I took advantage of the corner windows and installed a corner sink. It was a complete overhaul."
