i've loved the impressions and curtis mayfield since i first bought the 45 of "it's alright" back in 1963. this should be the song playing every time our next president kamala harris enters the room....before it becomes "hail to the chief".

When I hear this song it puts me in a different place….a good place…a positive place…a nostalgic place. A real good feeling place. We will keep on pushing!!!!!!

[@kountzer]

@MAPR PR I grew up in a small town in Texas but in the summer I would go stay with my 3 girl cousins in Houston. We would listen to soul / r&b station KYOK. Whenever ‘We’re a winner’ would come back around on the rotation the whole vibe in the house would light up. You said it well, the song put me in a different place, a positive place.

I was 6 Years Old Living in Chicago in November 1967 when I 1st heard this Song on the #30 CTA on Chicago's South Side, the Bus was Crowded & Somebody was Playing a Transistor Radio Tuned to WVON 1450 (The Voice of the Negro) & this Song by the Impressions was Playing.

[@ethiopianking57]

Classic Classic I remember this song as a child in Los Angeles

[@susankennedy5739]

Thank you, Danny, this is really nicely put together. I was a teenager when all this was coming down, I remember the policemen putting their vicious dogs and fire hoses on the Black protesters, I remember when JFK, then Malcolm X, then MLK, then Bobby Kennedy were murdered. But all through it, Curtis Mayfield's music was beautiful and also like a moral backbone. It helped tie together the unraveling strings.

[@brendasaunders9617]

This is a great song for all black Americans 😢😢❤❤

[@markbrown8178]

Hope and a better world were murdered in the 1960s.

[@DateTwoRelate]

Anyone who says "he gave me $1200 so I'll vote for him again" take a good strong look in the mirror and consider others besides yourself. THERE IS A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING.
