3.0 out of 5 starsWhy Not Two Volumes?
By George O'Leary TOP 500 REVIEWER on July 31, 2008
Format: Audio CD
When this 20th Century Masters series started hitting the market seven or eight years ago, they soon had literally hundreds of volumes, all with 11 or 12 tracks, covering individual artists/groups, multi-artist "theme" volumes (R&B, Country, Pop, etc.) and a number dealing with specific years. For some of the artists they issued two volumes (e.g., one for The Supremes and the other for Diana Ross).

But not in this case, despite the fact that, as a group, The Impressions had 50 R&B hits from 1958 to 1987, many of which crossed over to the Billboard Pop Hot 100 or Hot 100 "Bubble Under charts, while Curtis Mayfield had 32 solo R&B hits from 1970 to 1997, again with a number of them making the Hot 100 or "Bubble Under" listings. Certainly plenty of material with which to fill out two puny 11- or 12-track volumes.

Having said that, you do get three of the four # 1 R&B hits they had as a group (It's All Right - also # 4 Hoit 100 in late 1963, We're A Winner - also # 14 Hot 100 early in 1968, and Choice Of Colors - also # 21 Hot 100 in summer 1969. The one missing # 1 is Finally Got Myself Together (I'm A Changed Man), which also made it to # 17 Hot 100 in late spring 1974. By this time Mayfield had gone solo and after being replaced, first by Leroy Hutson, by 1974 the new leads were Reggie Torian and Ralph Johnson (the latter later joining Mystique.

Not a bad little volume, with good sound reproduction and two pages of liner notes by Joseph F. Laredo, along with three more nice shots of the group (inducted into the R&R Hall Of Fame in 1991), and a re-listing of the contents showing original release dates/label numbers (but no chart details). But there are now many more comprehensive compilations available for both The Impressions and Curtis Mayfield.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Millenium Collection: Best of Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions
By Mitchell S. Friedman on May 4, 2010
Format: MP3 Music Verified Purchase
As with the review I just wrote about Del Shannon, Curtis Mayfield was a truly great artist who we lost too soon. His work with The Impressions was socially conscious as well as having a great gospel flavor. His song "People Get Ready" is an anthem for peace which still resonated in 2010. He also wrote "Superfly" which was a pointed commentary on African-American life in the early 1970's. Curtis was paralyzed when a lighting rig fell on him while he was performing in Brooklyn, NY. He still continued to write music even in his condition, but died from complications of the paralysis.
His loss is still felt today.

5.0 out of 5 starsClassic
By Betty Bear Lover on December 2, 2012
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
Who of a certain age does not like Curtis Mayfield? This is my first Impressions CD and I am very pleased with every song, even the ones I had not heard before. Of course, the ones I had heard before bring back a lot of pleasant memories. They don't get any better songs and singers like this anymore. A winner.

5.0 out of 5 starsGood CD!
By P. K. Terrell on January 14, 2013
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
I heard one of the songs from this cd on a commercial and decided to purchase this cd for my collection. The songs are a mellow soul sound that I remember from over 40 years ago as a teenager. I would recommend this cd to anyone for their collection for some easy listening.

5.0 out of 5 starsBrings back memories
By Yar on March 13, 2015

Brings back memories - I just enjoy the music, not into who sings what, whether the studio had AC or DC voltage, etc - in other words, I just play the songs and enjoy the sounds, and they are great sounds!

3.0 out of 5 starsGypsy Woman is Great
By Henry Hank on June 30, 2014
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
I found only four songs I liked but those three are great songs; Gypsy Woman, It's All Right, Amen, and Superfly. The rest of the collection is a little to bland for me. "Superfly" with Curtis Mayfield as solo lead vocalist and good instrumental backup is fabulous. Something should have been said on the on the cover about Jerry Butler, the original lead singer.

The use of "Keep on Pushing" in the Lebron James ad got me thinking about Curtis Mayfield and I had to have it. Brings back memories!
