Headed by the great Curtis Mayfield, The Impressions provided a critical link between ’50s R&B and ’60s soul. In fact, they pioneered and symbolised the sound of “Chicago Soul,” a marriage of gospel, rhythm & blues and pop influences with a timely social conscience, as opposed to what was coming out of Berry Gordy’s shop in Detroit at the time.
“Mayfield’s disarmingly brilliant songs were really the only necessary element toward making The Impressions a strong LP, but the mesmerizing vocals and sympathetic arrangements made for a classic work of Chicago soul.” – John Bush
