    This is more about the band than it is about The Impressions. They don't come out until about the six-minute mark, and the entrie video is only eight minutes and 39 seconds long. When they finally start singing they're drowned out by the band. This sucks.

    I went to both segregated and integrated schools. This song brought back the memories and longing for our black teachers who lost their jobs because of integration. Such a waste of talented teachers

    I was right down the front at this show - and believe me, 'Choicer Of Colours' was the most emotional moment of a very emotional gig.. most of the audience were in in floods of tears.. not me though (Ok - I lied.. I was in bits) then thanks to DJ Pari I got to meet them after..

    Brother Fred Cash is totally right that the reason why these radio stations won’t play the Impressions and their Choice of Colors, because the messages isn’t factual, but they are guilty of their unjust crimes against people of color.

    I will never forget the IMPRESSIONS. They been doing it for over 60years. I had the unique pleasure of meeting Curtis Mayfield. We shared the same stage, at the Allen Theater in Cleveland, Ohio They recorded some of the greatest music of their time. The trash being displayed today is a crime. And many of you know that.

    Jermaine and each member of the band deserve the absolute highest respect for honoring and keeping the spirit and legacy of Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions alive and well and in the public eye. It can't be denied that some of the most potent and beautiful R&B music "EVER" created came from the legendary Impressions and what Curtis wrote subsequently as a solo artist. "GOD BLESS YOU ALL" and keep on pushin' and movin' on up.
