No body does slow jams like the Impressions. For me personally, I dont like when they speed things up. Even when Curtis was singing back up for Jerry Butler, it just made the song more romantic for some reason.
this is MISSILLANYUS u made me wait for this song, i look and look and look.. now somebody find the unifics" here is a heart".... oh thanks there is lots of us out here..peace
Fantastic! Thanks for posting this one! I only knew the Major Lance version up to this point! And though I still like Major Lances version better (probably cause its the first one I heard) Its cool to hear the actual songwriter do it....
this was one my favoite songs from the impressions the last time i heard it was 1965 i thought i would never hear it again.thanks for bringing back this classic
This tune is legendary in Jamaica because of a hit cover version by Pat Kelly and the Techniques done around 1966. That was called You Don't Care.
It's strange that the original doesn't appear on reissues more, but that's what can happen when you have a songbook like Curtis Mayfield's - which classics do you leave off?
Thank you for this one, it's a beautiful song and brings back some good memories. Back then you were lucky to find two great songs on one 45. "SmoothsSexyChicagoSoul" at its best. Thank God for giving us Curtis Mayfield to enjoy, that beautiful voice and writing genius.
You're welcome. For some reason, it is not on CD. I have looked high and low for it, but I know I had the 45 (flip side of It's Alright". This is one of my favorite songs by them. I'm glat that you have found it. Be Blessed......
Yes. I was wondering when someone was going to reply to this song. So many people say that they don't know this one. But oh ,how I remember this song. Thanks for your comment.
This version is just stunning.Long live the Impressions!!!

I remember this from around 1965!
I was in the Air Force, Richards Gebaur KCMO.
Some guy in the adjoining barracks would play THE IMPRESSION out of his room window, for the whole Flight Squadron. And it was just "Heavenly".

What year was this? Sounds like early pre- "Its All Right Impressions."

This is the flip side to "It's Alright". I think either 62 or 63
