The Impressions

 

ABC-Paramount Records 1963 ‎– ABC-450

notes:

 The group was founded as The Roosters by Chattanooga, Tennessee natives
 Sam Gooden,Richard Brooks, and Arthur Brooks, who moved to Chicago
and added Jerry Butler and Curtis Mayfield to their line-up to become
 Jerry Butler & the Impressions. By 1962, Butler and the Brookses had departed,
 and after switching to ABC-Paramount Records, Mayfield, Gooden, and new
Impression Fred Cash collectively became a top-selling soul act.
The original pressing of the album did not include "It's Alright"
and instead included "Can't You See" as track 6.
