*A defining late-1960s soul album that brings together Curtis Mayfield’s songwriting, The Impressions’ celebrated harmonies, and richly arranged, socially conscious soul.

Originally released in 1969, The Young Mods’ Forgotten Story captures The Impressions at the height of their mature late-’60s sound. Led by Curtis Mayfield, the album blends socially conscious soul with intimate love songs, balancing message-driven performances with deeply emotional storytelling.

The album features Choice of Colors, which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Black Singles (R&B) chart, and showcases the signature harmonies of Fred Cash and Sam Gooden. Rich orchestral arrangements by Donny Hathaway and Johnny Pate add further depth to a record that reflects the social and musical atmosphere of its era.

Produced and written entirely by Curtis Mayfield, The Young Mods’ Forgotten Story stands as a refined and socially aware soul statement, combining sophisticated vocal harmonies, memorable melodies, and a strong lyrical perspective.

A1 - THE YOUNG MODS’ FORGOTTEN STORY
