@Homesickblues1983 The trio of Mayfield, Gooden, and Cash continued throughout the 60's until Curtis started a solo career. They were one of the first, if not the first, black group to produce songs of social change like: Keep On Pushin', We're a Winner, Amen, People Get Ready, and more!

@Homesickblues1983 Jerry and Curtis were friends from church and childhood. Both joined The Roosters together, a group that had Sam Gooden, and Richard and Arthur Brooks as members. The group became The Impressions, but the big hit "For Your Precious Love" had Jerry Butler as the lead singer, and the label erroneously had his name featured as Jerry Butler & the Impressions. I can only imagine that it made the Brooks' angry. Jerry went solo, and the Brooks' left 2 years later. Fred Cash joined.

Many versions of this beautiful song but this original always stays in my heart

His voice has so much soul.

The first Impression song on ABC it reached #2 on the R&B charts and #20 on the POP charts. Not 100% sure, but the record was probably recorded in 1960.

@305chucko Landsman sung this in season 1 of The Wire as well.
My Aunt would give me a nickle and tell me to put it in the juke box and play this song. It was her favorite. Not many people liked her, most people were afraid of her but she was good to me. I would play it over and over for her. She had only beer in the fridge. A juke box in the living room. She carried a pistol and kept a rifle in her truck. I don't think I ever saw her smile. She was tall, beautiful chocolate skin with jet black hair down her back. I miss my Aunt Baby.

@headredbone There are some exceptions. And as far as I'm concerned Curtis Mayfield is one of them. I have yet to hear any one of his great compositions to be out done by anyone else.
