💞The Incomparable Impressions💞 I was a little girl when I first heard: “I’ve Found That I’ve Lost.” His voice mesmerized me. He’s one of our most underrated musical geniuses. When he died, I literally cried like a baby. Love him!💞
Oh yes he did...Those who know music knows that he was a musical genius..as a Singer, Songwriter and producer..in my opinion his ONLY peer is the Last living musical Genius/Poet Smokey Robinson!
Yes he DID ! Did you know that Curtis Mayfield is one of the few DOUBLE INDUCTEES into the ROCK and ROLL HALL of FAME? He got inducted as a member of his legendary singing group THE IMPRESSIONS, and also as a SOLO artist…and was a recipient of The Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award…AND The Grammy Legend Award, as well as being inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1999.
@@williamg2552he was a genius, truly the backbone of the Chicago sound of the 60s and early 70s. Gene Chandler, Major Lance, Jerry Butler, his brother Billy Butler and the Enchanters, Jan Bradley, Leroy Hutson, the Five Stairsteps, the Staples Singers, Mavis Staples, Linda Clifford, Natural Four, and of course the music scores for Superfly and Sparkle. Again, he was a genius!
Lol this is not rare lol Discography right? We're in love. Devil in your soul. Dedicate my song to you. Those are a few gems. But loved and lost is as main stream as this must end or man oh man.
I love Motown as well but The Impressions aren't a Motown act. They're from the Cabrini Green Projects of Chicago and were produced by one of record companies on the lower end of the Southside of Chicago just outside the downtown area.
I heard this song years ago and it was ok. After listening to it today I realize what a true jewel this is. The lyrics, the vocals, the emotion put into this song is truly amazing...
Those horns make this song very emotional like it should be. The violins let you know this is serious music with Curtis voice and the great harmonies. I also give credit to"song arranger "Johnny Pate" a great Jazz music icon. You can see all three of them on ''Moving On Up" on the Impressions Documentary.
I SAY whatever beat you feel -- leave em alone, at least they're digging the same music -- whatever beat you feel, it's a personal thing ... some like two and four, some like one and three -- it's all about the four beats anyway, you dig yours, and i'll dig mine. We always so critical about people's handclaps and beats .. PEACE BE STILL!
CURTIS MAYFIELD IS /WAS/ the Founding father of that Chicago sound. With The Impressions backing him...set some kind of standard for Chicago sound. Their sound was a Blueprint for some others to follow From Otis Leville to The Esquires and more. Curtis even wrote some hits for The Five Stairsteps,movie soundtrack "Claudine"/movie soundtrack/for "Superfly". He was a genius alright!... I ain't talking about Shaft... Um talking about Curtis Mayfield!
I think most of the noise was "canned", like the applause on most tv shows. On "Shivaree", you could hear cheering for singers no one had ever heard of.
As you can clearly see...these were "pure" caucasians, no rhythm whatsoever! Nowadays.....they have "borrowed" a little soul from us! We're still waiting for them to return it!
It's a pity that most of the comments were negative remarks about the white people in this video, and very few good things about The Impressions performance. ☹
Wow! Is this ever a find! What a treasure!!!!!!
NEVER BE ANOTHER CURTIS....GOD BLESS YOU MY BROTHER!!!!!!
He was a f*cking God!
No comparison, Curtis, the king of soul..
We won’t see his equal in our lifetimes..R.I.P.
2022 I still DJ this one I am 66

I just love that Chicago sound, strings and all
You ain't never lied!!!!
Curtis Mayfield never got his just due as a songwriter. The guy was a hitmaker over and over again!
Oh yes he did...Those who know music knows that he was a musical genius..as a Singer, Songwriter and producer..in my opinion his ONLY peer is the Last living musical Genius/Poet Smokey Robinson!

@@ricktoye1539 You Know It! 💯 He Was The Soul Preacher Of Chicago. 💯
I thought I knew the whole Impressions discography, but I was missing a rare gem!
Lol this is not rare lol
Discography right?
We're in love.
Devil in your soul.
Dedicate my song to you.
Those are a few gems. But loved and lost is as main stream as this must end or man oh man.
I love Oldies, grew up listening to
Rock and Roll, it's only now that I've explored some Motown Greatest Hits. This being one by the Impressions.
I love Motown as well but The Impressions aren't a Motown act. They're from the Cabrini Green Projects of Chicago and were produced by one of record companies on the lower end of the Southside of Chicago just outside the downtown area.
what a great group and Curtis was a baddd man one of the most underrated superstars of all time
I agree 100% his voice blows me away
I heard this song years ago and it was ok. After listening to it today I realize what a true jewel this is. The lyrics, the vocals, the emotion put into this song is truly amazing...
Greatest one man songwriter in memory, Curtis Mayfield, RIP.
Many thanks to YOU, VENUS!!-Bill.

He surely was a superstar underrated yes not classed as same as rock bands. Far superior in my mind
Absolutely Beautiful!!! Great Footage!!! What a True Gem!!! What a Treasure!!!
Respect to that Chi- Town Soul Symphonic!!!!!
that voice that Curtis had!
2021 I still DJ this one
Pure Gold!!
Thank u for the video
I want to hop in the Delorean to go back to 1965 and make all those kids stop from clapping on each quarter note.
Back when music was music and it came alive and captured your attention and took you away from it all...
The king of soul along with the ice man,touching the heart.
R.I.P. Curtis Mayfield.
I really miss this sound it was soooo innocent and pure words soooo loving and kind men were so into women and vice versa..LORD HAVE MERCY
I love that Chicago sound
Curtis Mayfield RIP
THE GREAT IMPRESSIONS AND THE ARE GREAT
WOW, THE GREATEST. DAMN GOOD PERFORMANCE,
Ah yes, love The Impressions! Great footage, thanks for sharing.
Hi..your welcome...Thankyou.
I Like It!
Among the Very Best TV Appearances By A Rythym & Blues Group,
the Original Curtis Blo
Dear Lord what's with the clapping, those folks really didn't have a clue! LOL
Amen to that. Geez, it had NOTHING to do with the beat of this song.
Those Impressions were the greatest-with Curtis singing Falsetto. One of the great writers of all time.
Great vocal group with a special sound,
Check out the version by The Blackstones
This is great, thanks...

the off beat clapping distracts from the performance a little....but otherwise.. classic stuff!
They can't help it.. don't charge it to their hearts😊
I didn't even notice them...my eyes are GLUED to The Impressions! lol
I thought that also!
"A little?" Lol...ya think!!??
A hellava allot!!

❤
great wee post-- cheers
The audience clapping off beat 😨, they sounded great though
I’m sure they appreciated the crowd clapping totally and incredibly out of time.
I know I already commented, but I had to do it again. Damn Curtis do your thing!
needed this
If this is heaven,well i'll be happy.

From Otis Leville to The Esquires

He was a genius alright!...
I ain't talking about Shaft...
Um talking about Curtis Mayfield!
Audience rhythm says "Look for me" 'cause it ain't there. Director says "cut that off beat crap out!!
Po folks, ruined such a beautiful song with their lack of rhythm. Smdh
Why didn't someone tell them people they were clapping out of time.😮
Brilliant (except for the clapping)
Damn listen to them damn girls lol
I think most of the noise was "canned", like the applause on most tv shows. On "Shivaree", you could hear cheering for singers no one had ever heard of.
The Impressions were incredible, but the audience? Rhythmless...that is all.
As you can clearly see...these were "pure" caucasians, no rhythm whatsoever! Nowadays.....they have "borrowed" a little soul from us! We're still waiting for them to return it!
It's a pity that most of the comments were negative remarks about the white people in this video, and very few good things about The Impressions performance. ☹
Why are they clapping offbeat? STOP DA CLAPPING
🤣🤣🤣 RIGHT
Not one of the greater songs that Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions sang or wrote, however, this clip is fantastic!
lotta my white brothers and sisters not able to clap on beat haha
🤣🤣🤣😂😂
I bet Curtis was thinking, get those silly women off from behind us their movements do not relate to our kind of music they look so ungainly ha ha ha
