Impressions, The - The Greatest Hits '1998

Tracks list

There's no doubt that the recordings the Impressions made for ABC Records from
1961 to 1968 were arguably the group's greatest and the ones that certainly made
the career of Curtis Mayfield. This best of compilation features 16 rock-solid
testimonies to the man's genius, all crafted like the two-minute 30-second R&B
symphonies they are. Even on the love songs like "I'm So Proud" and "Talking
About My Baby," there's a real sense of pride and purpose to these recordings
seldom found in commercial pop, rock or R&B. From 1961's "Gypsy Woman" through
"It's All Right," "Keep On Pushing," "Amen," "People Get Ready," and "Woman's
Got Soul" right into 1967's "We're a Winner," these sides are the soundtrack for
the '60s civil rights movement and as much a part of the history as the events
they were the background for. A greatest-hits package that belongs in
everybody's collection for a whole variety of good reasons.
