Impressions: Originally called the Roosters, this Chicago all-male group featured the great Curtis Mayfield. Despite a string of hits in the US throughout the 1960s, they had no luck with the chart in the UK (at least not until 1975). Mayfield, born in Chicago during 1942 was a maestro of Soul Music, and penned a number of the finest examples of the genre. Although recording less in later years Mayfield was a popular live performer until an accident occurred during a concert which left him paralysed from the neck down. | ||

Ivan: Really the Cricket's drummer Jerry (Ivan) Alison. He must rate as one of the greatest Rock And Roll drummers of all time, but couldn't sing. Described by Bobby Vee as playing 'lead drums' he appears on the hits of several other artists, for example the Everly Brothers. If the UK public had known who 'Ivan' was at the time this record might have sold rather more copies; it includes Buddy Holly on guitar. | ||
