The Young Mods' Forgotten Story is an album by the American soul music group the Impressions.[1] [2] It was released in 1969 via Curtom Records.[3]
Donny Hathaway worked as an arranger on the album.[4]
Billboard deemed The Young Mods' Forgotten Story a "smooth soul sampler of choice tunes."[5] Colin Larkin called it "quintessential," writing that it "set the framework for [Curtis Mayfield's] solo work." The Edmonton Journal, reviewing a reissue, wrote that "the music, save for touches of wah-wah and (prescient) proto-funk on 'Mighty Mighty', was in many ways a step behind similar groups of the time."[6]
