Who knew that Curtis Mayfield and Hanna-Barbera had anything in common like this!

[@exoddus2002]

Love it. Curtis Mayfield wrote so many great songs.

Super post, Soulhawk! Issued on the very short-lived Hanna-Barbera label (much better known for their cartoons!), the flip side ("Soul Sister") appeared at #133 on the Bubbling Under charts.

Curtis Mayfield and Hanna-Barbera both have special places in my childhood cosmology ~

[@paulriofski7982]

@brokenupbeat Thanks for your kind comments! I have only one LP (and no 45's) on Hanna-Barbera Records in my collection, the "Music from the original motion picture soundtrack" of the 1965 beach party film, "A Swinging Summer." While the LP contains largely forgettable recordings by the Righteous Brothers, the Rip Chords, and others, the "highlight" for me is Raquel Welch (this was her first featured film role) singing (also a first for her) the upbeat song, "I'm Ready to Groove," the main motivation for my retaining this album. I remember being surprised when I obtained it (at a MUCH younger age) that Hanna-Barbera actually had a record label!

Nice version. I knew the Impressions version, not this one. Thanks for posting.

Listening more closely there are two voices that are truly recognizable .Sam and Fred from the Impressions. Makes sense, because of their close association with the incomparable Curtis Msyfield
