I like this, obviously by the semi original group, but if you like interpretations of Curtis mayfields work try 'the carter baron' by Oddisee, fabulous track....

I'll be picking this up as soon as the shops open Monday...

Also, I wouldn't exactly call the group "semi-original", at least wiith a negative connotation. This is the lineup since about 1970, pretty much since curtis left to go solo (ignoring a small period of less than a year where donny hathaway sang lead). it's not like curtis died and reggie replaced him. plus reggie is an awesome dude and a great singer.

just clarifying, the group definitely isn't the original group with curtis, i just wanted to make sure people weren't discouraged thinking it was a "fake" group or something. they have a long history. thanks a lot.

Bob, as  mentioned above, it was Leroy Hutson that replaced Curtis wasn't it? Then Leroy left and Ralph Johnson and Reggie Torian joined for the First Impressions LP around '73 onwards?

 

Did Reggie Torian record before he joined the Impressions?

I already admitted my stupid mistake saying Donnie instead of Leroy.

 

However, Ralph did not join until after Reggie joined. Listen to my interview with Reggie, it's super interesting. Reggie also previously recorded as a member of the Enchanters on Golden Ear.

What was the line up for the Cotillion tracks ?

Sam, Fred, Reggie + Nate Evans (the "This Time With Feeling" guy).

Come on our kid, if you don't know the full history of the greatest soul group EVER , you're no kind of real soul fan  :yes:

on the LP cover of the cotillion LP is sam gooden, fred cash, reginald torian, and nate evans. but nate didn't replace ralph johnson until the end of the cotillion era, when ralph went to join Mystique.

Bob,

       so were Ralph's vocals actually featured on any / many of the tracks featured on the Cotillion LP ?

He didn't get a name check on the album sleeve, it was Nate who was listed as a member of the group and figured in the group photo that adorned the album's front cover.

I think I'd have been very pissed off if I had sung on some of the tracks but not received my due credit.

I actually think Ralph sang on most of the songs.
