Curtis Mayfield......soulful and meaningful songs with a great message! Wow, how this song brings back such great memories when I lived in Los Angeles and there were "record hop" dances........
Recorded and released as a single A-side in 1967. It also was the title track of the LP with that title in 1968. All 60s albums of the Impressions (including Mayfield) are reissued on CD, for a start I recommend "Definitive Impressions", a compilation with most of their hits and some B-sides.
curtis and the impression WOW.

I remember this song being banned from the radio when I was a kid but was played at my parents house parties. Great memory.

I love love love the music of Mayfield and The Impressions, it's the soundtrack of
the movement of black people in the 60s.

Wonderful sound... I hear it for the very first time, I only knew Mayfields`s soundtrack for "Superfly" before". Was this recorded in 1968?
