The Impressions were a big favourite at the Twisted Wheel and Blue Note, all their singles, many 'B' sides and a lot of their LP tracks were played, hardly a session at the clubs would pass without at least one track from them. Its All Right, I Can't Satisfy and You've Been Cheatin' are the seminal sounds of the 'Wheel' Allnighter during its heyday era 1965 -68. What made their music stand out in the golden age of soul was that we used to sing their songs! It was not unusual for half a dozen or so mods to be walking down the street singing `You must belieeeeve me, no matter what the people may say'. I don't think this still happens today does it? Curtis Mayfield went on to become one of the smoothest and greatest soul artists ever - a wonderful talent as both a singer and song writer. He will be sorely missed.

The influence of gospel and  spiritual music echoes throughout the wonderful harmonies present in the soulful music of The Impressions.
