“We’re Rolling On (Part One)” #59 5/4/1968

Here’s a R&B Top 20 tune from the Impressions. They started out in Chicago in 1957 as a doo-wop group called the Roosters. Jerry Butler left for a solo career after the Impressions’ first hit, “For Your Precious Love.” Curtis Mayfield became the front man as they turned into one of the more influential black vocal acts of the 60’s. Mayfield left in 1970 and did well for himself as a solo performer and producer until a freak 1990 stage accident left him a quadriplegic. He died in 1999.
