시카고 출신으로 어릴적 같이놀던 친구가 전설적인 소울그룹 The Impressions의 Jerry Butler, Curtis Mayfield 였다고 한다. Terry Callier는 대학에 들어가고나서는 재즈사운드에 관심을 가져 딥소울을 추구했던 어릴적 친구들과는 다른 독자적인 재즈포크소울 사운드를 만들어 낸다. Terry의 독자적인 사운드와 음악성만큼은 동시대의 아티스트들과 그의 어릴적 친구들과 비교해도 가장 흥미로운 아티스트 이었을 것이다. #terrycallier #theimpressions #jazzfunk #souljazz #vinyl #lp #1979

Soul Essentials: 🅃🄷🄴 🄸🄼🄿🅁🄴🅂🅂🄸🄾🄽🅂 - 🅃🄷🄴 🅈🄾🅄🄽🄶 🄼🄾🄳🅂' 🄵🄾🅁🄶🄾🅃🅃🄴🄽 🅂🅃🄾🅁🅈 (1⃣9⃣6⃣9⃣) Curtis Mayfield was ten tijde van dit album nog leadzanger en songwriter voor The Impressions. Zoals altijd op tekstueel vlak sociaal bewogen en op muzikaal vlak met een funky inslag. Voor de arrangementen werd nieuwkomer Donny Hathaway ingeschakeld, een bijzonder leuk feitje bij dit sterke album. 1. The Young Mod’s Forgotten Story – heerlijk die blazers en verdere orkestrale aanpak. De stem van Curtis herken je uit duizenden en tekstueel ook erg sterk. 2. Choice of Colors – een klassieker en met recht. Subtiel gebracht muzikaal gezien, maar serieus van toon. Het “duel” in de vocalen is ook erg sterk gedaan. 3. The Girl I Find – prrrrroeh, ja ik hoor het ook. Het kan irriteren, dat begrijp ik. Maar leg liever je aandacht bij hoe mooi het nummer is. 4. Wherever You Leadeth Me – prachtige samenzang en harmonieën op dit voortgeblaaste nummer 5. My Deceiving Heart – ook weer prachtig, je gelooft oprecht wat ze zingen 6. Seven Years – aan de ene kant denk je een vrij rustig nummer te horen, maar er zit ook een fijne onderliggende groove in. 7. Love’s Miracle – zo mooi, oprecht en subtiel gebracht weer. Komt weer goed binnen dit nummer. 8. Jealous Man – hij is in ieder geval eerlijk. Wederom een mooi nummer die goed past. 9. Soulful Love – mooi vocaal spel weer in dit nummer. 10. Mighty Mighty – door velen gedaan en deze versie is raak. #theimpressions #theyoungmodsforgottenstory #classicsoul #classicreview #soulessential #bestofsoulmusic #rnb #blues #funk #jazz #hiphop #souldressingnl #soulmusiclovers #soulmusic   #soul #music #muziek #review #recensie #musicreview #vinylcollection #vinyl #elpee #lp #instamusic #recordcollection

The Impressions not only performed wonderful original songs, they also shined on covers. Here they tackle standards and other gems like Nat King Cole's MONA LISA and the Tom Jones hit IT'S NOT UNUSUAL. This particular album ain't too easy to hunt down.

Title: ’60S MOD SOUL Artist: VARIOUS ARTISTS Format: 2CD SET Bar-code: 5060143497247 Cat No: NOT2CD724 The development of black popular music is fascinating. In the 1930s, there was blues music, primarily 12-bar songs based around day-to-day experiences, and there was gospel music which anticipated what they hoped would be coming when they died. Gradually some dance rhythms were attached to the blues and it developed into R&B, an apt term as it was rhythm and blues. In the mid-1950s, artists like Etta James and Wilson Pickett merged R&B with gospel music to create electrifying hits – and from that combination came soul music. The 40 singles collected here stem largely from the early sixties – that glorious period that saw the start and development of soul music. It was dance-oriented and highly commercial, appealing to both black and white audiences. #2CD #BOOKERTandTHEMGS #EttaJames #JamesBrown #MarvinGaye #NotNowMusicOfficial #Soul #THEIMPRESSIONS #TheMiracles #NOT2CD724 Available now at: https://www.amazon.co.uk/60s-Mod-Soul-Various-Artists/dp/B07JVF7L14/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2UY97LR5MP5N0&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.vtIZ_KyEtEjKBY1NiNr_zQ.fIAdcD3h0E659J9U925UTCGkiXNtvDPtjWd3vMbt7qI&dib_tag=se&keywords=5060143497247&qid=1712913190&sprefix=5060143497247%2Caps%2C253&sr=8-1

I'm pretty sure I own all of the albums from The Impressions. I found out about them years back. Curtis Mayfield was the driving force. Lead vocals, arranger and guitarist. They were fueled by Gospel and early Rhythm & Blues. Curtis even helped the career of Major Lance by writing songs, producing and getting The Impressions to sing backup. This is their debut album. I own two copies in stereo. Contains GYPSY WOMAN and LITTLE YOUNG LOVER that Major Lance covered on his own. #theimpressions #curtismayfield #rhythmandblues #soulmusic #doowop #abcrecords

I'm in New York for the next week or so, and am taking the opportunity to hit up some NYC record shops. Prioritised the downtown Brooklyn area today, visited four stores and really cleaned up, especially on the 45 front. It's crazy how region specific vinyl collecting is. I picked up dirt cheap singles today that are so rare and pricey in the UK, and in my local area especially. But over here, where so much of this material was pressed originally, they're a dime a dozen. Great start to the week. Certain you'll see some of these appear as a 45 Of The Day some point in the future. . . . #johnnywilliams #the8thday #honeycone #thejimmycastorbunch #thenewbirth #jamesbrown #randynewman #theimpressions #glencampbell #billypreston #lourawls #war #lyncollins #parliament #algreen #otisredding #archiebellandthedrells #wilsonpickett #soulmusic #rythymandblues #funk #countrymusic #music #vinyl #seveninchsingle #recordcollecting #45records

IMPRESSIONS / People Get Ready 1965 Produced & Arranged by Johnny Pate 🇯🇵カーティス・メイフィールド代表曲とも言える本家、オリジナルが収録されているアルバムです。全米No.14。ゴスペルのスタンダードナンバーとも言える楽曲です。わずか2小節のカーティスのギター・ソロも絶品です。当時、黒人は列車に乗る事が一番の楽しみだったという説があります。苦しい南部から自由な北部へと連れて行ってくれる乗り物だったと考えられています。この楽曲の歌詞に込められた内容は、自由への憧れなのかもしれません。 列車がやって来る。荷物はいらない。必要なのは信じる心だけ。切符もいらない。神様に感謝するだけでいいんだ。 🇺🇸This album contains the original and the original, which is Curtis Mayfield’s signature song. No. 14 in the U.S. The song is a standard gospel number. Curtis’ guitar solo of only two bars is also superb. There is a theory that riding the train was the most enjoyable thing for black people in those days. It is believed that the train was the vehicle that took them from the bitter South to the free North. The lyrics of this song may be a longing for freedom. Member: Curtis Mayfield、Samuel Gooden、Fred Cash 1. Woman’s Got Soul 7. People Get Ready 8. I’ve Found That I’ve Lost 10. See The Real Me 12.

The Young Mods' Forgotten Story / The Impressions(1969) The title says it all. The album before Curtis went solo, the sound still has a strong Chicago soul flavor. I love all his works but this is my favorite of The Impressions era. This is US-original vinyl from Curtom. #vinyl #modvinyl #mod #theimpressions #theyoungmodsforgottenstory #curtismayfield #chicagosoul

On March 26, 1965, American R&B group The Impressions released the song “People Get Ready” in the UK. The single is the group’s best-known hit, reaching No.3 on the Billboard R&B chart and No.14 on the Billboard Hot 100. The gospel-influenced track was a Curtis Mayfield composition that displayed the growing sense of social and political awareness in his writing. In 2021, Rolling Stone named “People Get Ready” the 122nd greatest song of all time. It was included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll and was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998. In 2015, the song was selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry due to its “cultural, historic, or artistic significance”. Martin Luther King Jr. named the song the unofficial anthem of the Civil Rights Movement. The Curtis Mayfield album “His Early Years with The Impressions” was released in 1973 and includes “People Get Ready” along with other soul classics like “Gypsy Woman”, “It’s All Right”, and many others. #thisdayinmusic #musicflashback #nowspinning #nowspinningonvinyl #nowplaying #onmyturntable #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylcollectionpost #vinylcollector #vinylcollectorsofinstagram #vinylrecordhistory #instavinylrecords #vinyloftheday #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #vinyllove #vinyllover #recordcollection #recordcollector #recordcollectionpost #instavinyl #igvinylcommunity #vinylobsession #albumart #dustygrooves #retiredguyslife #theimpressions #curtismayfield #curtismayfieldandtheimpressions

Although Curtis had already left the group by '72 his handwork is all over this album in production. Leroy takes a step forward and shines on this one showing some of his genius as a vocalist, songwriter and arranger(I refrain from using the word "producer" because a producer's job was a bit different in the 70s than what it is today)-"This Love's For Real" is an example of Leroy's genius which was in large his composition. I've mentioned in the soul groups post I made a while back the Impressions are one of my favorite soul groups to ever do it, here's in my opinion an all around excellent soul album by the band.

Trouble Man v. Super Fly: battle of the blaxploitation soundtracks from 1972 🎬 It's #vinylbattlewednesday hosted by @vinylwife, and it's a David and Goliath battle. Super Fly is the more popular film, it's the OST with the hit singles, and it's a smorgasbord of 90s hip hop samples. My spine actually *tingles* during the opening - Super Fly carries so much memory and history, and Curtis incorporates so many of the innovations of his era (touches of Isaac Hayes, the Temptations/Norman Whitfield, and indeed, even Marvin Gaye influences). For its part, Trouble Man is closer to a score in the traditional sense, and to the Shaft OST. Marvin sounds like he has properly 'done his homework' in creating moods that support the images, and he deliberately keeps his own voice in the background (often as an ambient or ghostly texture). But when he does bring his voice up front - e.g. the quick rap on the title track - Gaye is truly incredible. Trouble Man is harder work for the listener, and simply doesn't have the thrills of Super Fly. But it's also worth that effort, and achieves some more delicate and difficult moods. Which do you choose? . . . #marvingaye #curtismayfield #marvingayetroubleman #troubleman #troublemanost #curtismayfieldsuperfly #superfly #superflyvinyl #troublemanvinyl #ost #ostvinyl #theimpressions #tamlamotown #whatsgoingon #curtomrecords #motownvinyl #soul #70ssoul #soulvinyl #funkvinyl #blaxploitation #blaxploitationsoundtrack #soundtracks #cavoodle #cavapoo #dogsandvinyl #vinyldogs #ilovediscogs

It's been awhile since I last posted; here's a nice haul from my 2nd trip to Soundtracks in Beverly @soundtracksbeverly. Of course they have film music, plus sizable Hip-Hop and Jazz sections, but also a lot of other musical oddities across various genres and niches - Disco, R&B, Prog, Krautrock, just to scratch the surface. I've had a few weeks to give these all some spins by now: Nico Fidenco - Emanuelle and the White Slave Trade - Felt compelled to grab this as I'm making my way through the Black Emanuelle boxset - low-rent Disco for a low-rent flick, but Nico had hooks Bruno Nicolai - Il Conde Dracula - This score rules, it's too bad Nicolai didn't get the chance to do more Gothic and supernatural Horror films Ennio Morricone - Il Bandito Dagli Occhi Azzuri - Never seen this film, the score is a smoother style of Jazz than the ominous staccato of earlier Morricone Crime films. Not in love with it but it's a very nice LP Stelvio Cipriani - Sono Stato Un Agente CIA - Hadn't seen this one either but I found it on YouTube (English title Covert Action), it's a good late Italo-Crime film though David Janssen is kind of a miserable protagonist. Good score, Cipriani brings his usual airy melodies with a dash of Greek folk flavor in spots The Impressions - Three The Hard Way - A fun Soul/R&B score that narrates one of the more action-packed entries in the 1970s Black cinema/Blaxploitation canon. The lyrics are as silly as the plot (like Jim Kelly's acting), but the harmonies are tight, and the grooves kick ass (like Jim Kelly's kung fu) Atomic Rooster - Atomic Roooster - A+ reissue of this Heavy/Psych Rock debut, great album Tangerine Dream - Le Parc - Studio album #14 (1985) is poppier and more song-oriented than the mid-70s TD albums I'm familiar with, still lots of multilayered synth atmosphere on hand to enjoy though Bruno Nicolai - Rendez Vous - This 1975 album was conceived as a soundtrack to an imagined film, a thriller. It's not all new music (the opener "Rendez-Vous" is a variation on the murder theme from "Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key"), but it is a damn good album, no surprise given Nicolai's contributions to the Giallo

Curtis Mayfield is repping the (312) for the Area Codes playlist selection. The (312) covers the city of Chicago, including downtown, the Chicago Loop, and its immediate surroundings. Mayfield, who was born in Chicago, moved to the North Side and met Jerry Butler in 1956 at the age of 14. He would join Butler’s soul/doo-wop/gospel/r&b group, The Impressions, soon after. Mayfield’s first solo album, Curtis, was released in 1970 and hit the top 20, as well as being a critical success. It pre-dated Marvin Gaye’s album, What’s Going On, to which it has been compared in addressing social change. The commercial and critical peak of his solo career came with Super Fly, the soundtrack to the blaxploitation Super Fly film, which topped the Billboard Top LPs chart and sold more than 12 million copies. #wikipedia NOW PLAYING off the Super Fly soundtrack is “Freddie’s Dead.” #curtismayfield #superfly #freddiesdead #moviesoundtrack #theimpressions #jerrybutler #soul #doowop #randb #gospel #chicago #northside #chitown #northsidechicago #theloop #downtownchicago #312 #march12 #areacode #playlist
