Good quality footage of the original Impressions with Curtis Mayfield is quite hard to turn up on You-tube. Here’s them doing the classic Its alright:
Hope you enjoy it.
The one I wanted to post here is a really good quality one with re-synced audio, but unfortunately the poster has disabled embedding so all I can do is put a link up to it:

Ah well!
In my recent featured 45 post on Frank Howard – Judy I mentioned a link to a video, well I’ve found it on youtube so I thought I’d bung it up here.
The backing track sounds really familiar, particularly that horn riff. Racking my brains to remember what it is. Let me know if you recognise it.
Cheers.
Not one of the least known songs on youtube but this is my favourite video of Marvin and Tammi doing this classic.
There is another video of this tune up on youtube but it seems a bit more commercial; slicker production and a bit of a staged feeling. This one looks like it is recorded live and the chemistry between the two of them really comes through.
This one has about a million and a half views so it is hardly unknown but the other is at nearly 9 million so it is probably the one everyone has seen.
Marvin Gaye Sings With ....
This isn’t an uncommon tune, it sold in its millions, but it did have a bit of a revival on the Northern Soul scene a couple of years ago and got to about £25 in price for a US issue – £10 to £15 is about right though.
For the elitists; the copy to have (if you can’t get the UK Green and White demo) is this Aussie EP – Marvin Gaye Sings with Tammi Terrell, Mary Wells and Kim Weston.
Sorry about that blatant chuff about having this EP but I just can’t help myself at times ! 
Taken from from the excellent “Rob’s Big City Soul” channel on youtube, this is a great song but the key thing is the outstanding video.
All these people that just film a record going round and round need to think again.
Nice one Rob!
