Curtis Mayfield conquistou fama e sucesso no começo da década de 60 como compositor e vocalista do Impressions, grupo que dominou as paradas com os hits 'Gypsy Woman' (1961), 'It's All Right' (1963) e 'People Get Ready' (1965), entre outros. Suas letras alternavam românticas declarações de amor e as primeiras reivindicações sociais e políticas do movimento negro. Isso em um tempo que os cantores de soul não eram os compositores das músicas que cantavam.
