The Best Impressions: Curtis, Sam & Fred:(1970)
There isn't a single thing to not like about the Impressions. Curtis Mayfield was such an amazing songwriter, and all around soulful, thoughtful guy, and when his voice blended with Sam Gooden and Fred Cash, it was just magic. Not to mention the way Curtis seamlessly brought social political message into hit records. The man was a visionary. And let's not forget Johnny Pate's amazing arrangements. As I said, there's not a single thing to not like about the Impressions. Even after Curtis left, while the songwriting may have suffered, but there was good stuff.
