The Impressions is the debut album by the American soul music group of the same name. It produced six chart hit singles, including their biggest hit, the Billboard top 10 pop smash "It's All Right", and the top 20 hit "Gypsy Woman".
After the departure of original Impressions lead singer Jerry Butler to a successful solo career, the other original members, brothers Arthur and Richard Brooks also left. The remaining original members, Curtis Mayfield, Sam Gooden and Fred Cash, chose not to replace them. Instead, they scaled down to a trio, and went on to become one of America's top R&B vocal groups.[4]
