From Wiki:
"Mayfield taught himself how to play guitar, and by instinct he tuned
the guitar to the black keys of the piano, which gave him the distinctive open F-sharp tuning - F#, A#, C#, F#, A#, F# - that he used throughout his career."

Oh man, Move On Up is fantastic. A member of a message board I dabble in recently discovered the song as a hang-over pick-me-up -- which is exactly what I used it for back in my partying days.
definitely hard to beat as a medicinal tonic; Nearly 9 minutes - in this extended mix - of sparkling vitality!
